Implementing ITU-T International Standards to shape Smart Sustainable Cities - The case of Moscow

now connected to a centralized platform that makes it possible to monitor their operation,
analyze their speed and location, and thus provide drivers with optimized routes and schedules.
The positive net result of Moscow’s ICT-based transport infrastructure investment can be seen
through its transportation mode share KPIs, which refer to the percentage of people in the city
using the various forms of transportation to travel to work. Since traffic congestion is highest
during rush hours, collecting data during these hours is vital in devising strategies to reduce
congestion. An improving trend and higher values for public and more sustainable options are
considered positive, as can be seen in Moscow’s mode share breakdown in Figure 34.

All of the above is especially important for a city is to meet the UN SDG Target 11.2: By
2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for
all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention
to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities
and older person.

Water, wastewater and waste collection

Another aspect of a city’s non-ICT infrastructure is its water supply. One hundred per cent of
Moscow’s households have access to basic water sources and safely managed potable (i.e.
drinking) water services. Moscow consumes 137 litres (L) each day per capita of water, 100 per
cent of which is freshwater consumption. Currently, 100 per cent of households are also covered
by an audited Water Safety Plan.
Similarly, 100 per cent of all Moscow households have access to wastewater and solid waste
collection services, as well as adequate sanitation facilities.
