2004 Digital Cities Survey

The Center for Digital Government is pleased to announce the results of its fourth annual Digital Cities Survey. Underwritten by Oracle, the Digital Cities Survey examined and assessed how city governments are utilizing information technology to operate and deliver quality service to their customers and citizens.

Mayors, chief information officers and city managers at over 300 of the nation's cities were invited to participate. Officials responded to a set of 16 questions and ranked their jurisdictions according to a four-point scale, providing URLs and background data for final verification and validation. The survey grouped cities into four categories based on population: 250,000 or greater, 125,000-249,999, and 75,000-124,999,and 30,000-74,999.
