BOSTON—Boston is ranked the No. 1 as the most digital city in the United States, according to an annual list. Boston was followed by Louisville, Ky., in second place, and Aurora, Colo., in third. The cities were ranked by the Center for Digital Government, which compiles an annual list of the top 10 most digital cities in the United States.
The list, which has been coming out every year for the past 10 years, ranks cities according to their ability to incorporate information technology into city operations to improve life for their constituents.
“This year’s winners continue to demonstrate the transformative power of information technology,” said Todd Sander, Digital Communities director in a statement on this year’s list. “Economic conditions are bringing about a fundamental rethinking of local government structures and support strategies. It is clear from the results that digital technology is a critical factor in helping organizations not only maintain, but actually improve service delivery when faced with fewer employees and smaller budgets.”
Boston, this year’s winner, also won the award for best government website in the nation in September.
