Development of reports on ITU’s implementation of the U4SSC KPIs

Please see the publications on ITU’s implementation of the U4SSC KPIs in various cities here. These
publications include the City Snapshot, Verification Report, optional Factsheet and optional Case
Study.

Cities can request the ITU-U4SSC Secretariat’s assistance to develop a City Factsheet or Case Study,
which contain the detailed outcomes and achievements from implementing the U4SSC KPIs in the
participating city. These reports highlight the city’s smartness and sustainability initiatives and how
they have helped the city in achieving applicable SDG targets. They are the ideal tool to promote
the city’s smart strategy and to demonstrate its progress in reaching the SDGs.

While the recommended City Factsheet or Case Study are optional, each participating city will
receive its Verification Report and a City Snapshot. The Snapshot provides a visual overview of the
city’s performance based on global benchmarks.

To learn more about the costs and expenses associated with the development of the City Factsheet
or Case Study and to learn more about the Verification Report and Snapshot, please contact the
ITU-U4SSC Secretariat at: u4ssc@ itu .int.

U4SSC certificate of implementation of the U4SSC KPIs

Each participating city will receive an attestation from ITU upon completion of their U4SSC KPIs
project, stating that they were successfully evaluated based on a UN standard.
