Digital Glasgow Strategy 2023-2028

Description

Glasgow City Council are drafting a Digital Glasgow Strategy 2023-2028.

The Communities of Glasgow are asked to inform the 'Digital Society' part of the strategy; the part relating to people.

The aim of the strategy is to provide a coherent and comprehensive vision and plan that allows Glasgow to take advantage of the opportunities of digitisation and address the challenges that it presents in line with the priorities set out for the city in the Council’s Strategic Plan, and other key strategies for the city, such as the Glasgow Economic Strategy, Climate Action Plan and Open Government Action Plan.

Whereas the Digital Glasgow Strategy for 2018-2023 was split into two main parts: Digital Economy and Digital Public Services, we have decided to split the strategy into three parts to increase the focus on people. There were many actions contained within the previous strategy (digital inclusion, skills, ethics, privacy, community empowerment, etc) that related to people; however, they were split across the Digital Economy and Digital Public Services. By separating this out into a new part called 'Digital Society' we aim to demonstrate a more coherent vision for what the strategy means for the people of Glasgow.

We have established a website that provides greater access to non-personal information about Glasgow (https://data.glasgow.gov.uk/). It provides maps, and stories about data, and provides access to the actual data itself. The aim is to open up more and more data to better inform people and communities. What other information would you like to be made available? How else would you like information to be presented?

The digital services that you are using now to be involved in this discussion is a new solution for facilitating online discussion and debates, which can provide the opportunity to give feedback on proposals. It can also provide the ability to vote on ideas or suggestions. What do you think of it? How would you like to see this developed further?

Digital is moving at an extremely fast pace and whilst it provides many opportunities for people, communities around the world face a number of common challenges. These include digital inclusion, the equality and accessibility of digital services, privacy and security, surveillance concerns, being safe online, wide-spread misinformation, transparency of how data is used, and the ethical use of data (and artificial intelligence (AI)). What more can we do at a city or community level to help people with these challenges?
