With the rise of smart cities as a development agenda, a plethora of indicators has emerged, with some counting over 1,000 different indicators in existence. This reflects a huge interest in measuring the readiness or maturity of a city from a smartness perspective and monitoring the progress towards city vision and goals over time. However, the indicators' application in data- and capacity-constrained environments is limited due to their complexity and data requirements
Focusing on cities in developing countries, this webinar aims to provide a platform to explore ways to make smart city indicators relevant and practical to these cities. For this, the webinar will introduce two sets of smart city indicators as below and engage the speakers and participants to discuss their utility and applicability to these cities.
