During the first day, several city projects on developing electronic services, eGovernment, web-based services were introduced. Also nearby cities of Modena and Verona cooperating with Bologna were invited to introduce their ongoing smart card and eDemocracy initiatives. Bologna has successfully facilitated and enhanced collaboration between public and private sectors in design and implementation of the eGovernment projects. In addition to traditional solutions for electronic services, Bologna is exploiting the latest technology in developing GIS and virtual city maps in 3D.
