Reimagining Problem-Solving in Urban Governance Through Digital Public Infrastructure
Urban governance in India has long faced persistent challenges, ranging from fragmented service delivery and data silos to issues of inclusivity and scalability. In this webinar, we delved into these pressing problems and examined how inefficiencies in municipal systems affect citizens’ daily lives. The discussion explored the barriers to effective inter-agency collaboration, highlighted the gaps in data-driven decision-making, and addressed the broader complexities of urban governance. The session provided valuable insights, fostering a deeper understanding of these challenges and illustrating how foundational systems like Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) have the potential to transform urban governance in India, making it more inclusive, efficient, and scalable.
