China Institute of Communications (CIC): Index system of smart city

Source: http://www.china‐cic.org.cn/english/index.htm

The evaluation index system of a smart city includes four major indexes: the information
infrastructure, smart applications, support system, and value implementation. These four major
indexes form the evaluation system of a smart city with the guidance of other elements, such as the
network infrastructure, the construction of public support service system, and smart application,
reflecting the level of value implementation of a smart city.

The evaluation index system of a smart city can be divided into four dimensions, including 19
second‐level indexes and 57 third‐level indexes [1]. This index system comprehensively considers
various aspects, such as the infrastructure development level of urban information network,
comprehensive competitiveness, policies and regulations, green and low‐carbon, and culture and
technology. It also includes software conditions, such as the intelligent transport administration, the
medical education system, the capability of environmental protection network and industrial
sustainable development, and the cultural and scientific quality of citizens. This system can embody
and index the abstract smart city, forming a distinct guidance, ensuring a more efficient urban
administration, a more liveable urban environment, and a continuously increasing happiness index
of residents.
