Page 5 - Implementing ITU-T International Standards to Shape Smart Sustainable Cities: The Case of Dubai
P. 5
Abstract
This case study is the first of its kind, developed by ITU, detailing Dubai’s ambitious and
trailblazing journey towards becoming a smart city, a venture worthy of emulation by other
aspiring smart cities around the world. Following ITU’s and Smart Dubai’s collaboration on
Dubai’s smart city endeavour, the ITU-T Recommendations Y.4901/L.1601 and ITU-T
Y.4902/L.1602 were piloted in Dubai to determine their feasibility and to measure Dubai’s level
of success in its smart city venture. As we bid adieu to the first year of the pilot project, this case
study reveals, inter alia, that the KPIs would need to be refined to enhance their applicability in
Dubai and on a global scale. To assist aspiring smart sustainable cities in their journeys, this case
study also derives best practices based on Dubai’s current activities. It concludes with some
useful suggestions for adoption by Dubai and ITU during the second year of the implementation
of this pilot project.
