Daegu has proved to be an ideal partner to implement the U4SSC KPIs, with its region leading
smart sustainable city vision and plans and enjoying the support of various governments working
in different domains, along with the support of local telecom operators.
The following conclusions are based on the experience of Daegu in implementing the U4SSC KPIs
and the Daegu smart sustainable city strategies, plans and initiatives. These findings will serve as
a “knowledge hub” for other aspiring smart cities in the Asia-Pacific region and provide them with
an insight into making their smart city dreams a reality:
• Daegu has developed a world-class smart sustainable city programme, including clear vision
and strategy, defined plans and initiatives, which is having a significant impact on the quality
of life of its inhabitants. The city has also been following closely the best practices elaborated
in Supplements ITU-T Y.4400 series – Smart Sustainable Cities. Other cities are, therefore,
encouraged to use the guidance found within these ITU-T Supplements to assist them in
developing their own smart sustainable city initiatives and master plans.
