Foreword

This publication has been developed by ITU within the framework of the United for Smart Sustainable
Cities (U4SSC) initiative. It provides an overview of the reporting and implementation of key
performance indicators (KPIs) for smart sustainable cities (SSC) in the City of Kristiansand, Norway.
This set of KPIs for SSC was developed to establish the criteria to evaluate ICTs’ contributions
in making cities smarter and more sustainable, and to provide cities with the means for self-
assessments.

This publication is intended for informational purposes only. The results and interim findings
presented are a work in progress, as the KPIs (ITU-T Recommendation Y.4903/L.1603) implemented
in Kristiansand during the first phase of the project are being refined to improve the applicability
of these KPIs to all cities. The revision of the KPIs may alter their scope and definition as well as the
required data-collection process.
