Reggio Emilia has seen the introduction of various local projects focused on political participation and digital services. The Democratic Party (PD) launched ‘Quaderno aperto’ (Open Notebook), a participatory initiative involving 55 local circles to collect community proposals on healthcare, labor, ecological transition, and fundamental rights ahead of upcoming elections.

In addition to political engagement, new programs have been introduced to address digital literacy and urban monitoring. The ‘Imbranati Digitali’ project provides assistance with internet and smartphone usage to prevent digital exclusion, particularly among the elderly. Meanwhile, the ‘Cities analytics’ platform, a partnership between Confcommercio Emilia-Romagna and WindTre, utilizes mobile network data to monitor pedestrian flows to combat commercial desertification and support urban regeneration.
