Into the Future: Digital Governance in Shanghai.

When I think of impressive, I think of Shanghai. With a population of over 24.3 million people, this mega city is one of the most innovative and populated areas in the world (Populationu.com, 2021). Located just south of the Yangtze river, Shanghai is a global center for development in finance, research and technology. With such a large population and an immense amount of global influence, Shanghai is striving to become a leader among smart cities and digital social innovation.

One of the most innovative elements of this city is its transition towards

E- governance: seamless, paperless and boundless government support to every citizen in Shanghai. This model of government interaction will allow citizens to save time, government to save money and will provide everyone with more time to do the activities that bring value to their lives.

Shanghai is an exemplar city for digital social innovation and is setting the bar high for the rest of us!
