The idea is to use the new tools to impulse a new dynamic of governance of the city, without this policy excludes some résidents.

Topics

  1. Governance
  2. digital tools

Main policy issue to be addressed in relation to the selected topics

In a period of relative mistrust of the peoples facing their governments, the aim is to question the place of the citizen in decision-making. In what way, at the level of a city, is it possible to give meaning to the notion of citizen? How to reconcile better the roles of elected representatives and citizens? With the advent of digital, new forms of citizen relations can be imagined to strengthen the sense of belonging to the city. In Agen, if we have set up neighborhood committees with dedicated budgets, we want to go further in terms of consultations using digital tools, without exclude some residents away from digital tools. The reflection should therefore also focus on the use of tools to avoid the digital divide (for example : set up in the city halls of terminals as "voice bot).

Have you already been involved in an URBACT network?

No

Useful Information

Agen (35 000) can possibly be a leader but would prefer that a city that has already participated in the URBACT program can accept to be a leader
