Page 24 - U4SSC Verification Report- Ålesund, Norway, June 2020

These indicators have been developed to provide cities with a consistent and standardized method to
collect the necessary data to measure performance and progress with regard to:

• achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
• becoming a smarter city; and

• becoming a more sustainable city.

The U4SSC KPIs consist of 91 indicators. Each indicator forms part of a holistic view of a city’s
performance in three dimensions: Economy, Environment and Society and Culture. Each of these
dimensions provides a separate view of progress, and when reported together they provide a holistic
view of a smart sustainable city.

By providing a common set of metrics to benchmark a city’s performance, the indicators will also enable
cities to compare their performance to other cities, allowing for the dissemination of best practices
and setting the standards for progression in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at
the city level.

The list of all the U4SSC KPIs for SSC, along with its collection methodology, are contained in:

• the Flipbook on the ‘Collection Methodology for Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable
Cities’.

Over 100 cities worldwide are already implementing these KPIs. All cities are invited to participate in
this project and employ these KPIs.
