Implementing ITU-T International Standards to Shape Smart Sustainable Cities – The Case of Dubai

Following on from Section 3, the main results, key findings and learning opportunities for
aspiring smart sustainable cities based on the first year of the pilot project in Dubai are
elaborated in Section 4.

This Section provides best practices to improve the applicability of the KPIs to emerging smart
cities based on the findings from the first year of the pilot project in Dubai. These best practices
will allow for the effective implementation of the KPIs with the respect to the major strategic
goals on smartness and sustainability set by each individual city. This section also analyses the
preliminary observations of the KPI collection process and identifies several actions aimed at
guiding cities to collect the data for verification and eventually become an internationally
recognized smart sustainable city.
