10.     Using KPIs for SSC to Reach the SDGs

            The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative has developed the Key Performance
            Indicators (KPIs) for Smart Sustainable Cities (SSC) to support cities worldwide in evaluating the role and
            contribution of ICTs in smart sustainable cities, and to provide cities with the tools for self-assessments
            in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

            These indicators 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 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.
