Impact

Analysis of the evolution of internet access levels and usage by the citizens of Barcelona.

How was the digital divide expressed during the pandemic?

The digital divide in the city of Barcelona analyses the evolution of the level of access and the uses of the internet by the citizens of Barcelona over the last four years. It also does so in light of the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

At Ideas for Change, we have contributed to the qualitative analysis and the drafting of the report, which is promoted by the BIT Habitat Foundation of the City Council of Barcelona in collaboration with the Mobile World Capital. A project that has also seen the support of friends such as Institut Opinòmetre, Numérica, and 300.000 km/s.
