World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization

WeGO was established in 2010 as the World e-Governments Organization of Cities and Local Governments

by 50 founding member cities with the goal of pursuing sustainable city development based on

e-Government. WeGO worked towards improving administrative efficiency and transparency, advancing

online public services for citizens, increasing civil involvement, and bridging the digital divide.

During the 4th WeGO General Assembly in the Ulyanovsk Region in 2017, the WeGO General Assembly

approved the change of WeGO’s name to the World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization seeing that

much of the world has moved past e-Government and into Smart Government inside the framework of

Smart Sustainable Cities. With the name change, WeGO also updated its Mission, Vision, and 3-Year Strategic

Plan to adapt to fast-changing digital technologies and to help WeGO members address the sustainability

challenges that cities are expected to face.

Innovative cities that leverage digital technology and connectivity to

improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and

economic prosperity for all citizens, while ensuring long-term economic,

social, and environmental sustainability.

To promote and facilitate the transformation of cities to Smart Sustainable

cities worldwide

To be a global platform for cities to enhance their digital capabilities and

leverage their innovation potentials in order to develop transformative

solutions for Smart Sustainable Cities

To foster international exchange, cooperation, and learning among cities
