Abstract

Municipalities interested in communication, education and social development seek to contribute to citizenship by planning, structuring, storing, and providing access to information. Starting with an overview of the global background to discussions on digital cities and the relation between digital cities and public policies, this article seeks to analyze and describe municipal information planning based on a project carried out, between 2009 and 2014, in the municipality of Vinhedo, São Paulo, Brazil. The study stresses the importance of adopting a project design methodology and implementing projects collectively at a municipal level to increase the efficiency of municipal management and implementing the strategic digital city concept, thereby increasing public space and governability and, consequently, citizens' quality of life. The results show that municipal information planning projects constitute public policy.
