The Smart Chicago Collaborative envisions a world where all Chicagoans have equal opportunity to access, benefit from and fully participate in the information economy. The Collaborative—a joint project of the City of Chicago, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Trust—provides cross-sector leadership and resources to support the City in its transition to a culture of "digital excellence." The Collaborative drives innovation in Chicago by investing in infrastructure, programs and applications that make the resources of high-speed Internet more accessible, useful and beneficial to low-income people and neighborhoods.
