Episode #5: Smart sustainable cities maturity model and impact assessment
This webinar was part of ITU’s webinar series on Digital transformation for cities and communities.
Episode 5 was jointly organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and Austrian Economics Center.
As more cities are embarking on the journey to become a smart sustainable city, there is an increasing need to benchmark progress and assess the impacts of cities’ smart strategy. This webinar provided an overview on how to use international standards to determine the maturity level of a smart city/community. The webinar was particularly useful to city planners or related stakeholders who were looking to improve their smart strategy and pursuing smart sustainable city objectives in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
