Digital Cities Survey

The Digital Cities Survey is conducted in partnership with the National League of Cities annually in the summer: July - August. All United States cities, towns, villages and consolidated city/county governments with populations of 30,000 or greater are invited to participate in this survey.


1st Annual Digital Cities Survey - 2001 Results

Sponsored by Dyntek, the 2001 Digital Cities Survey examined how city governments have progressed in adopting and utilizing digital technologies to improve the delivery of services to their citizens.

Mayors, chief information officers and city managers at over 300 of the nation's cities were invited to participate. The survey grouped cities into three categories based on population: More than 250,000, 125,000-250,000, and 75,000-125,000.
