Case Abstract

The City of Bordeaux is developing a large-scale campaign around the use of QR Codes. The purpose here is to deliver shortcuts to various contents: the cultural agenda of the city, a "picture of the day" page as well as historical and heritage information are linked to by a set of QR Codes.

Policy Context and Legal Framework

Bordeaux City is advocating a massive push from public administration towards the use of mobile internet content for all. It first started with an Iphone application to provide citizens with up-to-date information about what to do in the city, and what to go to from the shows, expos and concerts taking place every week in Bordeaux. The "blockbuster" success of the application persuaded the City to offer more convenient access to these contents for all smartphone users.

Technology solution
