Abstract

The Italia Digitale 2026 Plan aims to make the country’s public administration more digitally accessible. The government has allocated 27% of the resources of its National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) for Italy’s digital transition. Considerable space is dedicated to digitisation of the public administration and the production sector: Mission 1 deals with digitisation, innovation, competitiveness and culture. The overall objective is ‘the country’s innovation in a digital key, thanks to which a real structural change can be triggered’. The contribution analyses some elements of this structural change, and highlights them through the experimentation of the MiraMap collaborative platform for the care of public spaces, within the AXTO project.
