Abstract

The successive technological advances experienced in the last decades have boosted the global digitalization process in all sectors of activity and consequently, a deep transformation in society. Digitalization has become a cornerstone of the recovery plans proposed by the members of the European Union to relieve negative impacts from the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the consideration of trade as a strategic sector and the backbone of socio-economic activities in the urban realm, this study explores the incorporation of digital technology into the Spanish commercial sector and its contribution to the sustainable urban development. A set of recommendations were lastly proposed to incorporate digital technology into trade activities by promoting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in particular SDG9: industry, innovation and infrastructure.
