Luxembourg : a city turned to the e-future
15. June 2009 – 01:28 by POLITECH
The e-city Coordination initiative, in partnership with other Luxembourgish municipalities, European cities, public bodies, associations, citizens and businesses, aims at providing multichannel e-services to citizens. The project coordinates ICT-projects along the line of the City of Luxembourg’s technological and strategic plan respecting its political and administrative interests.
The e-City Coordination is a component of the e-Luxembourg programme.
E-Luxembourg is a two-folded programme included in the overall e-Europe framework. On one hand, it includes the e-Government initiatives of the State of Luxembourg and, on the other hand, the e-Commune programme of the inter-municipal union.
The main projects developed under the e-City Coordination are:
This service provides the opportunity to pay amounts under 20 EUR for services, mostly documents, offered by the City of Luxembourg. This project was a partnership between the city of Luxembourg and the 3 luxemburgish mobile operators.

The City of Luxembourg is also a member of the Global Cities Dialogue (https://www.globalcitiesdialogue.org/), a worldwide network of cities, which are interested in creating an information society free of digital divide and based on sustainable development. Stimulating collaboration and exchange of good practices between cities is essential to accelerate their entry in the e-Future.
