Digitalization

ACityConnected

Making services and experiences available online or through an app improves the quality of life for residents by making it easier for them to get what they need, but bringing both citizens and services online is no easy task.

Smart Columbus is working to digitalize more of the city's experiences and processes and to connect the city's agencies in ways that promote efficiency, collaboration, and results. In addition, Smart Columbus is ensuring every resident has basic affordable internet access along with the devices and skills to use it.
