If you represent a region, county or lead city and you want an evaluation of your jurisdiction’s prospects for capitalizing on digital technologies, see the Cyber Profile section in Services.

See Cyber Strategy if you are interested in any of the following:

• Revitalization of commercial areas, from traditional central business districts to declining malls
• Transit oriented development and smart growth
• Congestion management and air quality improvements
• Neighborhood planning and decision making
• Regional economic development
• e-Government
• Alternative transportation including neighborhood vehicles, cycling and walking
• The "digital divide"

Most need training, as well as "access" to technology.
