Les transformations numériques de l’action publique locale : leviers des transitions écologiques des collectivités territoriales ?
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.
