How can cities improve the well-being of their communities in an increasingly digital world? The RADIUS project tackles this challenge by developing a new digital tool to help Irish city councils measure and enhance both economic well-being and digital inclusion in their communities. At present, information about economic well-being (such as employment and income) and digital inclusion (such as internet access and digital skills) typically sits in separate systems, making it hard to see how the two interact. RADIUS will create a digital platform that brings these strands together, making it easier for city councils to make informed decisions about the policies and services that shape community life. This tool will help councils not only see current conditions but anticipate where targeted action will have the greatest impact, aligning local decisions with Ireland’s Well-Being Framework, the OECD well-being approach and the UN Sustainable Development Goals on decent work and sustainable cities.URL https://www.ucc.ie/en/news/2026/new-ucc-research-projects-demonstrate-the-power-of-interdisciplinary-collaboration.html Persons Marie Ryan
