“…Lynch (2015) suggest that the ISO 37120:2014 standard helps to compare cities in terms of urban service performance and quality of life. World Council on City Data (WCCD) Open Data Portal, based on the ISO 37120 international standard of city data, allows the examination and monitoring 46 member cities (Steele, 2014;Fox, 2015;McCarney, 2015). Table 2 presents individual regions of the world along with selected cities which are connected in the WCCD.…”

The smart cities concept plays an important role in urban management worldwide as well as should be implemented with the participation of residents and with consideration for their needs. This study examines an analysis of the smartness diversity of European cities on the basis of the International Organization for Standardization 37120 norm dealing with sustainable development of communities. Cities with a higher level of certification exhibit more effective management and their residents show greater commitment to civic life. The assessment of the level of smartness was based on statistics collected by the World Council on City Data using Multidimensional Comparative Analysis. Hellwig’s (1968) synthetic indicators were used to create a ranking gauging the level of smartness of European cities which were classified into four groups. The investigation shows large disparities in the smartness of selected European cities.

The Open Data Portal of the World Council on City Data (WCCD), which is based on the ISO 37120 international standard on city data, allows the examination and monitoring of 56 member cities (Steele, 2014;Fox, 2015;McCarney, 2015). Most cities are from Europe (31%) and North America (30%).…”

The study aims to assess transport systems in terms of ISO 37120 indicators in selected European cities. Using the principal components analysis, the research identified significantly correlated variables associated with urban transport. Three principal components explained almost 87% of input data variability. The first principal component was mainly related to transportation fatalities, the second component — to the length of bicycle paths, and the third component — to the length of the network used by light passenger public transport. A strong correlation was found between the length of high capacity public transport and transportation fatalities. Furthermore, the analysis proved that the Aalter transport system was an outlier. The paper concludes by identifying several recommendations on the improvement of urban transport management and the development of low-carbon mobility systems.

“…The WCCD (World Council on City Data) was created to enable the adoption and implementation of ISO 37120 for cities around the world through this platform for verification and comparison of certified cities (WCCD, 2017). It provides a framework for urban metrics to promote learning among cities, providing better performance between cities with the goal of achieving a better quality of life for all who live there (MCCARNEY, 2015).…”

Cities need continual improvements as they grow, and the government needs to create the means to meet this demand. To assist in sustainable development for communities, ISO 37120 was created to focus on cities, with indicators for urban services and quality of life. This article seeks to understand if Indicators for Sustainable Cities can help Governance make more assertive decisions and improve the residents’ quality of life.
