Top 3 Smart Cities and how they differ.

1. SMART CITIES

2. HOW BENCHMARKING
IS DONE
• IMD-SUTD Smart City Index (SCI) assesses the perceptions of
residents on issues related to structures and technology
applications available to them in their city.
• SCI ranks 102 cities worldwide by capturing the perceptions of a
randomly chosen 120 residents in each city in a survey
consisting of 40 questions
• SCI is evaluated based on the 36 questions related to the two
factors.
• Each factor is evaluated over five key areas: Health & Safety,
Mobility, Activities, Opportunities for work and school, and
Governance. For all cities, the corresponding UN Human
Development Index (HDI) score of the parent economy is
collected for benchmarking.

1. SINGAPORE
• Singapore is ranked first on the Smart City Index because of its holistic approach
• The city-state has invested heavily in technology and infrastructure, promoting innovation and the use of data to
improve the quality of life of its citizens.
• Singapore has also implemented policies and programs that prioritize sustainability and promote a green
environment.
• One of the main differences between Singapore and Oslo/New York is its compactness. Singapore is a small city-state
with a population of around 5.8 million people, whereas Oslo and New York are much larger cities.
• This has allowed Singapore to implement integrated systems that can be easily managed and monitored.
• On the other hand, Oslo, and New York face unique challenges in terms of scalability and the management of complex
urban systems.

4. 2. OSLO
• While all three cities prioritize sustainability, Oslo places a stronger emphasis on environmental initiatives such as
green spaces, waste management, and building energy efficiency.
• In contrast, New York and Singapore have a more technology-focused approach, with a focus on implementing
smart transportation systems, digital services, and data-driven decision-making.
• Smart Mobility: Oslo has implemented several smart mobility initiatives such as a city-wide electric vehicle
charging network and a bike-sharing system.
• Smart Environment: Oslo has focused on environmental initiatives, such as implementing strict regulations for
building energy efficiency, waste management, and promoting green spaces.
• Smart Governance: Oslo has implemented several digital services to improve public service delivery, including a
digital city hall and an online platform for citizen engagement.

5. 3. NEW YORK
New York City is a smart city not because it has achieved ubiquitous connectivity or real-time measurement of all its
operations, but because it uses data and technology to solve urban problems rather than merely observe them.
• USING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE CITY SERVICES: The program involves using connected vehicle technologies to
improve safe and efficient truck movement, exploiting vehicle-to-vehicle and intersection communications to improve
vehicle flow and pedestrian safety in high-priority corridors in the City.
• DATA TRANSPARENCY TO BUILD TRUST : NYC is currently progressing from making its data “open” to making it “open +
usable.” Another incarnation of open government in New York City is a platform called Checkbook NYC, which lets
users view and track how the city government spends its more than $80 billion annual budget. This unprecedented
access allows citizens, businesses, academics, and journalists to closely examine public expenditures, keeping
government accountable
• NON-GOVERNMENTAL PARTNERSHIPS TO CO-CREATE SOLUTIONS: Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate
development project in the United States, is also set to be New York City’s first so-called “quantified community”. The
main partner on the project is New York University’s Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), a publicprivate
research institute focusing on the science of cities.
