Now in its fourth Edition, the Cities in Motion Index serves as an effective source for assessing key areas across global cities,
including technology, through
a broad range of expert per-
spectives from the private and public sectors.
The 2017 edition included180 cities, (73 of them capitals), representing 80 countries and aims to provide an innovative approach to governing smart cities and urbanization in the 21st
century in light of the increased need for a comprehensive global outlook. The conceptual model of the Index assesses cities in relation to 10 key dimensions: economy, human capital, technology, the environment, international outreach, social cohesion, mobility and transportation, governance, urban planning, and public management.
