ICTs can help create better cities and improve quality of life. They provide innovative solutions for managing infrastructure like buildings, traffic, energy usage, and waste. While cities offer advantages, there are large disparities between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Bridging the digital divide and ensuring access to communication and information for all urban residents can help meet rising population needs and improve lives. ICTs present opportunities if access is expanded in both rural and urban areas to connect more people.
