Bridging the urban-rural digital divide: taxonomy of the best practice and critical reflection of the EU countries’ approach
Summary. EU countries use fragmented approaches to reduce the urban-rural digital divide. This paper creates a taxonomy of European rural digitalization strategies and groups countries by their implementation patterns. The analysis reveals that digital infrastructure and virtual sphere coherence are critical challenges preventing successful bridging of the divide across EU member states.
