Last December, Commissioner Thierry Breton engaged in a dialogue with EU Mayors from the Living-in.EU movement and the Intelligent Cities Challenge on the green and digital transformation and socio-economic resilience of cities and communities.  

The dialogue was around two panels of EU Mayors with the Commissioner on the cities’ priorities, challenges and expectations in relation to the transition pathway of their city or community towards a sustainable future.

The first interactive panel focused on planning and implementing the green and digital transformation of the local economy and society, the role of innovation and technology, local green deals and the issue of up and reskilling of the local workforce.

The second interactive panel focused on the power of technology, data governance in cities, local digital twins for cities and communities to enable their digital transformation.
