The six main dimensions of development are the following:

1 – Economy: The ability to create employment, the presence of innovative companies, good quality
universities and advanced research institutes, and advanced telematics infrastructure.

2 – Environment: The intelligent use of resources promoting a sustainable development based on
recycling and waste reduction, adopting rational building criteria, and protecting and managing
urban green areas.
3 – Governance: The adoption of policies for boosting territorial development and inter‐municipal
networking capacity can enable a city to involve its citizens in issues of public importance, promote
awareness and use technologies to digitize and simplify administrative procedures.
4 – Living: Advanced services for improving the quality of life (home care, childcare, aged care
facilities) can enable a city to promote its own tourist image with intelligent online promotion (city
routes and thematic maps).

5 – Mobility: A city where it is easy to get from one place to another, with an innovative and efficient
system of public transport that promotes the use of vehicles with low environmental impact, which
regulates access to historic town centres, and makes them more liveable (pedestrian walkways).

6 – People: The citizens of a city are active and participate in public life, and where a city can
maximize its social capital and foster peaceful coexistence.
Smart sustainable city can be analysed through the six dimensions described above. A synthetic
index of a smart sustainable city is as follows:

 sscSupply: Smart and sustainable services provided by the city;
 sscUse: Usage of smart services by the citizens;
 sscNet: Extent of smart services in the city area;

 sscDE: Level of degree of expertise of "smart citizens";
 sscIndex: Synthetic index that combine the four KPIs (sscSupply, sscUse, sscNet, and sscDE).
