This paper contains the results of the e-municipality Project which was made possible through the collaboration between the Global E-Policy, e-Government Institute, of Sungkyunkwan University and the E-Governance Institute at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, cosponsored by the United Nations and the American Society for Public Administration.

The project consisted of the development of an e-governance Performance Index, and assessment of one hundred cities' websites in the same number of countries. This research replicates a survey completed in 2003 – Digital Governance in Municipalities Worldwide. Therefore, it was possible to have a comparison between the results obtained in 2003 and 2005, by longitudinal perspectives.
