Science, technology, and innovation, and digital cooperation: the urban opportunity. In an age of rapid digital transformation, urbanization and cities are pivotal in shaping global outcomes on technology and data governance. As frontline implementers of digital solutions, local governments have a leading role to ensure that technology drives sustainable and inclusive development while narrowing the digital divide in urban settings. The development of the first international guidelines on people-centred smart cities by UN-Habitat will serve as a global benchmark to ensure that digital technology improves lives for over 4 billion people now living in cities. 🌆📲 #Tech4Good #2024UNCSC
