In an age of rapid urbanization, the delivery of quality public services by local governments will become more difficult and critical at the same time. The potential for e-Government to help meet these urban challenges has been widely acknowledged but there is a deficiency of e-Government initiatives that are focused on city -- rather than national -- agenda.

This podcast, based on the webinar of the same name, is presented by Mr. Frederick Lim, WeGO IT Consultant, accompanied by a City Case Study presentation by WeGO member city, Ulyanovsk Region, Russia, and will provide an overview to the CeDS toolkit.

The City e-Government Diagnostic and Solution (CeDS) toolkit, based on a partnership between the World Bank, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and WeGO, was developed and designed specifically for cities.
