Michael Ludwig | Mayor and Governor of Vienna

Vienna is known as a global pioneer when it comes to Smart City issues. We have a clear strategy in which ideas and input from local people and innovative impulses from the business, technology and research communities are brought together to serve a common purpose. Smart City Wien aims to be Europe's "digitalisation capital"! We embrace new technologies and are interested in innovations that provide valuable services to everyone living in our city while simultaneously helping us to protect the environment and save the climate. That's why we take a far-sighted approach to developing and upgrading our urban infrastructure. We also need smart, affordable, accessible solutions that really do make life simpler for us all. The focus, at all times, remains on people and their needs.

Ulli Sima | Executive City Councillor for Innovation, Urban Planning and Mobility

Our aim is to work together to make Vienna an even more liveable city. And that can only succeed if we position ourselves as a Smart City that prioritises digitalisation of processes alongside participatory urban planning and eco-friendly mobility options. By fostering this diversity, Vienna can protect the climate and the environment while positioning itself as a tech pioneer in fields such as artificial intelligence and healthcare. This balanced mix is the essence of a Smart City and will ensure that Vienna remains a lovable, liveable city in the decades ahead and for generations to come.

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy sets out guidelines for the medium- to long-term transformation of the city. Today, new challenges and trends are requiring intelligent cities to step up and take action at comparatively short intervals. The threat of climate crisis, for instance, appears increasingly imminent and calls for ambitious responses and the capacity to adapt.

As a Smart City, Vienna thus has to measure its progress in order to steer it more effectively. To this end, Vienna has updated its Smart City Wien Framework Strategy (based on the results of the first Smart City monitoring process) in order to maintain its leading position and continue setting new standards. The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2019-2050 was adopted by Vienna City Council on 26 June 2019. The revised strategy builds upon the goals and objectives of the original 2014 version and retains the central tenet of Smart City Wien:

"High quality of life for everyone in Vienna through social and technical innovation in all areas, while maximising conservation of resources."

Vienna is the city with the highest quality of life and life satisfaction in the world.

Vienna focuses on social inclusion in its policy design and administrative activities.

Vienna reduces its local per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, and by 85 per cent by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).

Vienna reduces its local per capita final energy consumption by 30 per cent by 2030, and by 50 per cent by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).

Vienna reduces its material footprint of consumption per capita by 30 per cent by 2030, and by 50 per cent by 2050.

By 2030 Vienna is an innovation leader.

Vienna is Europe's digitalisation capital.

The goals and objectives in detail

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy defines 65 individual objectives in 12 thematic fields.

The Urban Innovation Vienna Energy Center played a leading role in co-developing the energy and climate objectives for individual sectors (cf. energy supply, buildings, other energy consumption). In the interests of transparency, all assumptions, considerations and data sources on which the calculations were based are detailed in the following document (German only).

A blueprint for the transformation of Vienna

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy provides a solid long-term foundation, a blueprint, for Vienna's transformation into a sustainable urban living environment: sectoral initiatives, thematic concepts and various other projects all build upon it.

I did a quick research on the Internet about this project of Amsterdam, and as a result "The slow progress in implementing the Smart Cities Mission is a matter of concern. Overall, less than 50 percent of the projects had been completed at the end of the Mission's six-year period." I have found this information and I agree with it.

I think becoming a sustainable city is achievable for Singapore because in the article that I read, It was saying that Singapore already became successful in some steps for becoming a sustainable city. Because people that responsible for this in Singapore worked hard for it and had enough money from different companies.

I find Singapore's goals achievable. Because they have taken great strides in terms of the targets they have set for sustainability in the past and they have succeeded. Singapore was once one of the most polluted and poorest cities in the world. But now it is one of the greenest, sustainable and smartest cities in the world. In 1960-1970, they decided to clean the Singapore River and they struggled for about 10 years. For about 30 years, they cleaned the whole city of all pollutants. They also made the public aware. And they still give importance to public participation by carrying out the process effectively. In other words, it is a city that has shown great progress in this regard in the past.

I think Oslo's projects can be successful. Because Oslo is now a very sustainable and smart city. In other words, it will not be difficult to implement new projects because the public has this awareness.

SINGAPORE - Singapore is the smartest city in the world for the third year running, according to this year's Smart City Index.

Published by Swiss business school Institute of Management Development (IMD) and the Singapore University of Technology and Design last Thursday (Oct 28), the index ranks 118 cities by how "smart" they are.

A "smart city" is an urban setting that applies technology to enhance the benefits and diminish the shortcomings of urbanisation for its citizens.

The Smart City Index takes into account input from the cities' residents of how technology had improved their lives. About 120 residents from each city were surveyed in July this year.

Dr Bruno Lanvin, president of IMD's Smart City Observatory, told The Straits Times that Singapore's achievement is largely due to the policies it pursued at both the city and national level - particularly in e-government services, education and human-centric urban strategies.

Dr Lanvin noted that the Republic had gone through the Sars crisis and was better prepared to face the current Covid-19 pandemic as compared to other cities around the world.

"Its higher degree of social cohesion was also a factor, as well as the availability of digital facilities (typically apps) that allowed the close monitoring of how the virus was circulating," he said.

But it is still too early to infer from the findings how the pandemic had impacted the survey participants in Singapore, he added.

IMD's evaluation of the city's ranking did not take into account Singapore's handling of migrant workers during the pandemic this and last year, which attracted criticism locally and internationally. Also, the survey was done in early July this year, during which Covid case numbers were low, said Professor Chan Heng Chee of the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities at SUTD.

Participants in each city were asked questions on their ideas of existing infrastructure and technological provisions and services available to them. These were broken down into five key areas: health and safety, mobility, activities, opportunities, and governance.

Survey participants were also asked to select five out of 15 priority areas, such as affordable housing or health services, for their city. Other questions posted to the residents included: "Do you feel the availability of online information has increased your trust in authorities?"

For this year's rankings, the final score for each city was computed using the answers from residents surveyed this year and in the past two years, with the most weight given to recent replies and the least to those recorded in 2019.

This method helps to reduce excessive variability throughout the years because of the occurrence of specific events, said Mr Christos Cabolis, chief economist and head of operations at IMD's World Competitiveness Centre (WCC).

"It also helps to take an 'average', so to speak, for the period between the two times that the residents of a city were sampled," he said.

The rankings also takes into account economic and social data taken from the UN Development Index, which ranks countries on the basis of health, education and living standards.

The team behind this year's Smart City Index said the findings showed that the top concern worldwide is access to affordable housing.

But access to better air quality and health services has become a greater priority in cities worldwide since the Covid-19 pandemic occurred.

"Clearly, Covid-19 has changed the ways in which leaders and citizens of smart cities view the challenges ahead," said Professor Arturo Bris, who is director at the WCC.

"Environmental emergencies will also remain very high on the agenda of smart cities, and this is an area in which citizens' expectations - and sometimes ambivalent attitudes vis-à-vis technology - will need careful attention."

The people living in Amsterdam are all entrepreneurs and everyone takes part in the changes that will be made. Also, Amsterdam is the most sustainable city in Europe and that can have an impact. Also, I've been to Amsterdam a few times before and the technology they use is really good. As a result, if Amsterdam continues its current work, it can achieve its goals of becoming a smart city.

I read your researches and did some quick research about Singapore. As a result of the information I found, I discovered that Singapore  has taken some steps to go digital. As many cities will go digital in the future, the ideas presented about Singapore are achievable. Also, I like your ideas, they're quite suitable ideas for a smart city.

As a result of my research, I found projects about Oslo's green capitals. I think that the projects of Oslo can be successful because the state and the public have the necessary consciousness to realize these projects. (In addition, If you want to have information about Oslo's projects, you can take a look at the resource I have attached.)

One of the comments I can make based on the information given is that Singapore uses technology effectively to create a smart city. Singapore has used a lot of technological products and software for this purpose, and at the same time, it has made and continues to make investments to develop at this point. Because of these and other reasons, I think Singapore is a successful place to become a smart city.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it can be achieved because today's technology is used in the best way to make London a smart city. On top of that, innovations in health, transportation, energy production and infrastructure are the basic principles of sustainability, and studies have been carried out on these basic points in the innovations made to make London a smart city, and this process is still continuing.
