World Smart Cities Outlook

In today’s digital urban era, leveraging technology to improve the quality of life for all in our cities and communities is urgent. To do so, we must maximize the benefits for people inclusively, while managing associated risks. This is why, at the second session of the United Nations Habitat Assembly in 2023, 193 countries made a clear request for UN-Habitat to develop international guidelines on people-centred smart cities. This mandate reflects the urgent need to ensure that cities are built on principles of inclusivity, sustainability, and the responsible use of technology. To fulfil this task effectively, it is essential that the development of these guidelines is grounded in robust empirical data and real-world evidence from cities around the globe.
