Abstract

A smart city is an urban strategy using technology and promising to improve the quality of life for citizens. However, few practices are known, where cities really measure the impact of smart initiatives on the daily life of their inhabitants. Independent institutions and research centres issue smart city rankings, based on smart projects implementation or technological infrastructures present in cities, but no instruments are applied to really verify if and how much a smart program affects people living in city. This chapter suggests how to develop a Smart City Performance Dashboard to measure and evaluate the capacity of a smart strategy to impact on the quality of life. Based on the most known urban indicators worldwide, this work defines a five-step path for implementing a standard but city-tailored dashboard to both support smart city investments and to evaluate their performance.
