The European Urban Initiative (EUI) has highlighted the significant role of inter-city collaboration in advancing equitable digital transitions across Europe. By sharing resources and innovative practices, cities can collectively address technological challenges, ensuring inclusive and sustainable urban development.  

The EUI supports this collaborative approach through capacity-building activities such as peer reviews and city-to-city exchanges. These initiatives enable urban areas to co-develop strategies that promote digital inclusion and equitable access to technology, aligning with the broader goals of sustainable urban development.    

This emphasis on cooperation underscores the importance of collective, community-driven efforts in navigating the complexities of digital transformation, helping create urban environments that are not only technologically advanced but also inclusive, accessible, and responsive to diverse local needs.
