What Are The Indicators That Make Your City A Smart One?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has recently developed a draft of ‘Smart Cities – Indicators’.Comments on these indicators can be sent till 29th November 2016.

Two types of indicators have been developed with respect to cities.

  • City Indicators: The indicators are divided into 17 sectors with each area comprising both core & supporting indicators. The core indicators are considered essential for assessing the performance management of city services and quality of life. The supporting indicators are given to promote best practices. 46 core indicators and 47 supporting indicators have been developed. The draft explains the data source alongside detailed explanation of the data indicator.
  • Profile Indicators: The list of profile indicators provides basic statistics & background information about the city. These indicators are to be used as informational reference about the city.

The cities would need to maintain the data online with the framework developed by the Ministry of Statistics & Program Implementation (MoSPI). The framework is known as ‘Basic Statistics for Local Level Development (BSLLD). These indicators are applicable to any city or municipality that wishes to measure its performance.
