2. overview
• Based on „european smart cities“ (www.smart-cities.eu)
• Comprehensive and comparable profiles focusing on climate and energy issues
• Visualization of the profiles and the relevant drivers and indicators
• Existing data and frequently used sustainability indicators (e.g. carbon footprint, energy
consumption etc.)
Results:
• common characteristics of (Austrian) cities and urban regions
• applicability to a wide range of cities
• evaluation of trends
• better interpretation and comparison of the different profiles

4. Smart City Profiles
Immediate indicators for energy efficiency and climate protection
e.g. carbon footprint, energy consumption, pollution etc.
Structural indicators
Indirect indicators for energy efficiency and climate protection
Local factors
Politics,
Buildings and
Mobility and Technical infra- Economy and administration
settlement
traffic structure society and
patterns
governance
5. Criteria for Indicators
•Focus: Energy efficiency & climate protection
•Feasibility & availability of datas
•Posibility of influence by the city
•Indicators are mapping the status and the trends
6. Intentions of the City-Profiles
• Identification of suitable indicators for measuring of „Smartness“
• Support of cities to evaluate measures (comparing to other cities)
• Support for developing „Smart City concepts“
• Basics for monitoring
• Basics for evaluation of future-projects and subsidies
