Abstract

This essay elaborates upon the analysis and discussion of digital sister cities, with a focus on the San Francisco-Paris digital sister cities. It explains the vision of the stakeholders in Paris and San Francisco, as well as delineates the contributions of each partner city in the deployment, scope, and operation of these digital sister cities. It examines the mode of operation employed by this digital sister-cities pair, and indicates how it reflects the ecosystem within which each of these urban formations evolves. The essay concludes with some reflections on challenges that digital sister cities confront in the midst of global processes, international immigration, and the rapid growth of the information technology sector.
