• Pully performs well across KPIs for public space and nature, environmental quality, although these
can be optimized through ensuring greater accessibility to green spaces. In addition, noise exposure
can continue to be measured, monitored and mitigated through targeted programmes.

• Pully should evaluate peak day and time water consumption trends, in addition to the overall
demand and production trends – taking into account seasonal temperature and precipitation trends.
ITU Supplements such as ITU-T L Suppl. 14: ITU-T L.1500 ‘Standardization gap analysis for smart
water management’ and ITU-T L Suppl. 15: ITU-T L.1500 series: ‘Requirements for water sensing
and early warning systems’ can be utilized by cities when actualizing smart water management.

• Best practices such as enhancing, reinforcing public communication and outreach, evaluating
contracts, recycling markets and pricing levels, modifying collection techniques, legislating/funding
smart recycling and leveraging lessons learned regionally can help optimize waste recycling, as can
following Recommendation ITU-T L.1030: ‘E waste management framework for countries’, amongst
others.
• A notable percentage of Pully’s electricity comes from renewable sources – at a rate higher than the
average reported by the OECD European countries. It is still recommended that the city encourages
best practices in energy management through appropriate policies, incentives and procedures.
• Within the Society and Culture dimension, KPIs are widely reached thanks to a high adult literacy
rate, positive health-related outcomes and a wide range of national, government-funded cultural
offerings. Nevertheless, democratic participation through voting could be encouraged further.
• It is recommended that Pully reviews the KPIs reported at the lowest levels of the benchmarks, in
particular, and Pully should work closely with other cities on its SSC efforts, in order to leverage any
best practices and their shared experience with developing and instituting smart and sustainable
policies and initiatives in the region.
• ITU would like to invite cities around the world to implement the U4SSC KPIs for SSC, enabling the
cities to establish clear data-collection methodologies, collect data, and develop goals and targets.
