City2City

The availability of more and faster internet connections, satellite data and imagery, advances in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, cryptocurrency, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things are transforming our cities at every level. These emerging technologies have potential to advance sustainability and development work. However, digital technologies will also trigger new challenges because they can create inequality or make it worse. UNDP’s Digital Strategy supports these efforts by fostering new collaboration models, introducing supporting systems, structures and mechanisms to drive innovation, and building capabilities to develop and apply digital solutions that will enhance the quality, efficiency and effectiveness.
