12 WHO ARE THE USERS? Applicable to any city, municipality or local government Tool for mayors, city managers, planners, politicians, researchers, business leaders, designers and other professionals and citizens

13 WHY DO CITIES NEED A SET OF GLOBALLY STANDARDIZED INDICATORS? TO MANAGE and make informed decisions through data analysis TO BENCHMARK and target TO PLAN and establish new frameworks for sustainable planning TO LEVERAGE FUNDING with senior levels of government TO EVALUATE the impact of infrastructure projects on the overall performance of a city TO BUILD CREDITWORTHINESS and insurance security TO BUILD SMART and Sustainable Cities TO LEARN and share lessons across other cities globally

14 WHY DO GLOBAL CITY STAKEHOLDERS NEED A SET OF GLOBALLY STANDARDIZED INDICATORS? (e.g. International organizations, senior governments, corporate partners) TO DETERMINE ENTRY POINTS FOR INVESTMENT in city markets and make informed decisions through data analysis TO BENCHMARK INVESTMENTS and monitor progress TO EVALUATE the impact of infrastructure projects on the sustainability and efficiency of the city TO BUILD Smart and Sustainable Cities TO EVALUATE the investment in comparative perspective across cities nationally and globally TO STRENGTHEN the effectiveness of city governance

15 WG 2 WORKING ON A REVISION TO ISO Expand on existing themes (e.g. energy) 2. Include new indicators (e.g. food security) 3. Revise few existing indicators

16 OUR NEXT ISO STANDARD: ISO Indicators for Sustainable Development and Resilience in Cities

17 ISO Review and Development of New Indicators on Sustainability and Resilience Smart Cities Emergency Preparedness Changes in rainfall and storm surges Protection of biodiversity Alternative energy Risk assessment Resilience Infrastructure Smart Grid Economic resilience Political resilience Walkability & Accessibility Transit & Mobility Water & Waste Management Green buildings
