Future research directions: Enhancing the citizenship experience

This article explores the emerging concept of the Citizenship Experience (CZX), which encompasses the interactions individuals have with public services and infrastructure. Synthesizing insights from the recent literature and findings from our Special Issue, we highlight key areas, including public services, urban mobility, healthcare digital transformation, urban design, and taxation. We propose a future research agenda focused on integrating technology, applying user-centered design, evaluating digital government initiatives, enhancing transparency in policies, and fostering community engagement through urban design. This framework aims to enhance CZX and contribute to citizens' overall well-being.
