digitalization and sustainable development.

Valencia and the U4SSC KPI Project

In response to questions on the level of its digital development and sustainability, the City of Valencia
decided to join this ITU-led project, utilizing the needs, aims and solutions of the U4SSC. This ambitious
project would help Valencia measure and compare its degree of digitalization and sustainability.

Findings from this project are expected to form an SSC development trajectory to which administrators
of other municipalities and regions similar in size and capacity to Valencia will be able to adapt when
developing their own smart sustainable strategies. The KPIs will also help demonstrate how Valencia is
progressing in its achievement of the SDGs. The continuation of the project could also assist Valencia
in conducting a periodic internal review of its current ICT-related efforts, thereby allowing the city
to benchmark how its ICTs can best be used to monitor and improve its smart city processes and
operations. This project can, therefore, play a key role in planning Valencia’s SSC future.
