Abstract

Digital and ecological transitions lie at the heart of post-Covid territorial recovery plans and energy sobriety measures in France. While they are sometimes mobilized jointly, the narratives surrounding these two transformations are often developed in parallel—if not in outright opposition. How does local public management coordinate these transition projects at the territorial level? Drawing on exploratory case studies in two medium-sized cities, this article shows that digital transformation does not drive ecological transformation; rather, the digital maturity of a territory is a prerequisite for its ecological transformation.
