Digital Towns

---

The European Union’s (EU) ‘Digital Society’ is the latest in a long line of
‘revolutions’, ‘ages’ and societal forms proposed by policymakers, academics and industry for over ffty years (Martin, 2008; Lynn et al., 2018).
Critics note that it is at best inaccurate and at worst incorrect to describe
society as digital or of technological origin, and is not by and large subject
to sudden unexpected phase transitions inherent in revolutions (Martin,
2008). Nonetheless, digital technologies are infuencing, and in many
cases transforming, how society operates and how social actors interact
with each other (Martin, 2008; Reis et al., 2018). Furthermore, there is a
well-established literature base regarding the potential benefts of digital
technologies for society (Mossberger et al., 2007). The EU’s vision of a
European digital society is an inclusive one based on “building smarter
cities, improving access to eGovernment, eHealth services and digital
skills” (European Commission, 2021), and yet for many such a digital
society can seem ambiguous, distant, and beyond their technical abilities
and imagination
