Abstract
The TeleCities telematics network consists of more than 120 European cities with key business partners participating as associated members. Telecities, which is currently under the presidency of the City of Vienna, acts as a Europe wide network for urban policy issues relevant to the information society. Many of the member cities whose administration is based on a long and successful EDP tradition have come to call themselves “Digital Cities”. They all increasingly rely on the new information and communication technologies (ICT) as well. The following article provides a comprehensive outline of TeleCities, along with its strategic goals and projects; the City of Vienna is used as an example of a “Digital City” which places great significance on the implementation of eGovernment.
