Smart Sustainable Cities Profile
UNECE’s work on Smart Sustainable Cities forms a part of the initiative United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC). U4SSC is a global platform for smart cities stakeholders, which advocates for public policies to encourage the use of ICT to facilitate the transition to smart sustainable cities. A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses ICTs and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social, environmental as well as cultural aspects. After an evaluation is completed, UNECE supports the implementation of recommendations of the evaluation. The UNECE approach takes a city through a full cycle from city evaluation as Sustainable and Smart to recommendations on how to move it forward in this area to supporting the innovative financing and investments to concrete city projects.
