Pully: Key Findings from across the KPIs

• To further optimize a smart, sustainable ICT infrastructure, Pully could utilize Recommendation
ITU-T Y.4901/L.1601: ‘KPIs related to the use of ICT in smart sustainable cities’ and Recommendation
ITU-T Y.4902/L.1602: ‘KPIs related to the sustainability impacts of ICT in smart sustainable cities’, or
Recommendation ITU-T L.1400: ‘Overview and general principles of methodologies for assessing the
environmental impact of ICTs’ and Recommendation ITU-T L.1440: ‘Methodology for environmental
impact assessment of ICTs at city level’.
• Public sector procurement does not yet achieve the benchmark and procurement opportunities
need to transition to e-procurement.

• Pully’s rate of youth unemployment is significantly lower than the national average, where
unemployment among youth is already lower than many other European countries. This is largely
attributable to Switzerland's youth apprenticeship programme for vocational and professional
training.

• Pully could continue to monitor its rate of non-revenue water through the employment of bestpractice
water-loss accounting methods. Other actions can be taken to mandate the conservation of water
resources, such as the implementation of smart water meter programmes.

• Pully's electrical supply management is effective, with 100 per cent access and little interruption.
However, ongoing monitoring via widespread installation of household smart electricity meters and
the prevalent use of ICTs to monitor the electrical supply systems could help the city in the long
term.

• The city could investigate the use of sustainability certification programmes for on-going building
operations. Pully may consider implementing Recommendation ITU-T L.1370 ‘Sustainable and
Intelligent Building Services’.

• Public transport and vehicle sharing can be encouraged further, and investment can be made into
providing support infrastructure for low-carbon EV and PHEV.

• In urban planning terms, Pully has reportedly implemented all five principles (compactness,
connectivity, integration, social inclusiveness and resilience to climate change), which makes it
a sustainably planned city, although there is still a high reliance on cars. Urban planning can be
optimized further by creating more pedestrian zones and deploying measures to encourage foot
traffic.

• An integrated approach to climate change and air pollution should be considered, in order to make
tangible progress towards meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement.
