Dimension Economy
Methodology To collect the data for the measurement:
Step 1: Identify city (in scope)

Step 2: Deduce whether there is an urban plan for the city
Step 3: Examine if urban plans contain all 5 sustainability principles/elements (if the
plans are digitalized and, on the web, then consider using automated web queries
with semantics to examine these elements)
If an urban plan has a smart methodology (as defined above) and meets all 5
sustainable urban plan principles, then it qualifies as a smart sustainable city’s
urban plan.
If these principles are only partially met, mark as “partial” for further development.

Unit Yes or No. To be rated based on information provided.
Data Sources Urban planning websites and data repositories of local, municipal and/or national
