Sustainable Development Goals

The goal is making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

Eradicating inequality is crucial to sustain the cities and the communities. Such questions as "Are there enough jobs?", "Is everyone close to healthcare?", "Can children walk to school safely?", "How far is the nearest public transport?", "What's the air quality like?", "What are the shared public spaces like?" should be taken into consideration while building a vision for sustainable cities and communities. 

• ISO 30146 Information technology - smart city ICT indicators: It defines a comprehensive set of evaluation indicators specially related to information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption and usage in smart cities.
• ISO 37122: Sustainable cities and communication - smart city indicators: The standard helps cities deliver their vision for a sustainable future.

• ISO 37123 - Sustainable cities and communities — Indicators for resilient cities: This document defines and establishes definitions and methodologies for a set of indicators on resilience in cities.
