IMD Smart City Index 2023

16 May, 2023

The IMD World Competitiveness Center launched the Smart City Index to assess the economic and technological aspects of smart cities on the one hand, and their “humane dimensions” on the other (quality of life, environment, and inclusiveness) in 2019.
The 2023 Smart City Index has been recently announced. In this survey, some 20,000 citizens were asked about 15 aspects of living in their cities; they were asked which were the most urgent, from affordable housing and road congestion to fulfilling employment and green spaces. They were also asked about various structures and technologies in a bid to determine whether tech-based solutions are addressing their major concerns. Finally, they were asked how comfortable they felt with technologies such as face recognition and sharing personal data to improve traffic congestion. Zurich has taken the lead in this year’s IMD Smart City Index, with Oslo in second place and Canberra in third.
