DIALOG CITY – A holistic approach towards a digital cultural infrastructure in European cities – 2022-2025
DIALOG CITY aimed at contributing to increased access to culture through a dialogical approach by developing new practices on how to connect digital innovation directly to citizens’ physical participation. Digital transformation is more of a mindset than a purely technical innovation. Hence the overall goal of this project was to create a socially inclusive, environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable urban digital environment.
