About the ranking?
A total of 140 cities of all sizes from around the world were analyzed based on existing smart city rankings. Each city was then given a score of 1 to 3 across 10 dimensions considered key to being a smart: vision, leadership that steers smart city projects, budget for projects, financial incentives to private sectors (e.g. grants, rebates, subsidies, competitions) , support programmes (e.g. incubators, events, networks), policy environment (e.g. data governance, IP protection, urban design), innovation ecosystem, people-centricity (people-first design of the future city), and talent readiness, and the government’s track record in catalyzing successful smart city initiatives.
