Goals and Projects for a Smart and Sustainable Future

Pully’s smart sustainable city (SSC) goals are expected to align with national smart sustainability
strategies, as well goals of the broader region in which the city resides. Furthermore, the city has
taken a comprehensive approach in prioritizing current and upcoming smart sustainability projects, by
focusing on technological progress and non-technological facets of sustainability. The four criteria on
which Pully is focusing in its specific smart city vision relate to enabling human relationships through
optimal leveraging of technology, which includes making municipal processes more efficient and
services more practical to avail and use via technology. Other objectives prioritized previously in general
municipal strategies or agendas can also play a part in driving Pully’s smart sustainability forwards. Two
examples of such objectives from the 2011-2016 strategic programme are ‘city centre attractiveness’
and ‘housing policy’. It may be possible to use the United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) KPIs for
SSC to quantify and measure the progress of some of those previous objectives and report on their
fulfilment or conclusion.

A key organization collaborating on the effort locally is Swisscom. In coordination with Ville de Pully, it
has conducted the city’s data measurement and collection for its U4SSC KPIs for SSC project. Its findings
are expected to contribute to the city's smart sustainability framework for the foreseeable future, as
well as helping the city's stakeholders set direction for the long term.

As the foregoing analysis of Pully's U4SSC KPIs in this report shows, the city is well positioned to develop
structured and measurable smart sustainability strategies by way of planning for the next decades. It
performs very well on the majority of indicators that it has reported. In conceptualizing its vision for
the foreseeable future, therefore, Pully can employ a two-fold focus:

1. maintain performance levels in the KPIs that meet the corresponding SDG Targets and benchmark
well in comparison to regional, national, or comparative global city data; and
2. build a framework of policies that will enact improvements in the KPIs that require potential
interventions.

Leveraging as much as is feasible the functional integration made possible through regional partnership
will allow the relatively small city of Pully to realize the expected benefits of agglomeration in key
areas relevant to the city's smart sustainability progress. Transport, ICT infrastructure, spatial planning,
economic development, housing and service delivery – among others – are areas where Pully can
utilize the network effects of the agglomeration to foster further continual growth in its smartness
and sustainability efforts.

The current smart sustainable city (SSC) projects in Pully span a variety of areas.
