The Information Society in the City of Antwerp

In Antwerp the dream of an information highway became reality a long time ago. Antwerp has its electronic highway and every day it grows new side-roads and exits. The main aim is to bring the inhabitants, authorities, companies and services of Antwerp closer together. Naturally the city government plays an important part in providing the best ways to serve its community. The project “Antwerp an Intelligent City?” anticipates on the information society by inventing, creating and implementing telematics solutions for citizens and civil servants. And thus it supports a constant dialogue between the local government, the business community and the population.
