UNITED FOR SMART SUSTAINABLE CITIES

U4SSC










The “United for Smart Sustainable Cities” (U4SSC)  is  a UN initiative coordinated by ITU, UNECE and
UN-Habitat, and supported by CBD, ECLAC, FAO, UNDP, UNECA, UNESCO, UN Environment, UNEP-FI, UNFCCC, UNIDO, UNU-EGOV,
UN-Women and WMO to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 11: "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".

U4SSC serves as the global platform to advocate for public policy and to encourage the use of ICTs to facilitate and ease the transition to smart sustainable cities.

KPIs ON SMART SUSTAINABLE CITIES



 
The U4SSC developed a set of international key performance indicators (KPIs) for Smart Sustainable Cities (SSC) to establish the criteria to evaluate ICT´s contributions in making cities smarter and more sustainable, and to provide cities with the means for self-assessments in order to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). 

Over 50 cities worldwide are already implementing these KPIs.

The list of all the KPIs for SSC along with its collection methodology are contained in:​


Flipbook on "Collection Methodology for Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable Cities"   

All cities are invited to participate in this project and pilot these KPIs.
