The U4SSC Key Performance Indicators Project
A consistent and standardized method for cities to collect the necessary data to measure
performance and progress
The U4SSC KPIs are developed based on Recommendation ITU-T Y.4903/L.1603 “Key performance
indicators for smart sustainable cities to assess the achievement of sustainable development goals”.
These indicators have been formulated to provide cities and communities with a consistent and
standardized method to collect and report the data needed to quantify, measure, report and
monitor performance and progress towards:
• achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
• becoming a smarter city; and
• becoming a more sustainable city.
