Connecting user-centric cities and regions for better public services

UserCentriCities is a platform for local authorities to compare their performance with their peers and exchange mutual learning about how to deliver user-centric services.
Local authorities play a fundamental role in digital government service delivery, they are the front office of government as a whole and the first way citizens experience digital services.
