GET in cooperation with the Municipality of Thessaloniki under the framework of «Implementation of information and interaction units – Geospatial Indicators of Performance» project, successfully completed the development of a new urban governance model, based on Performance Indicators, in accordance with the International Standard 37120, for Sustainable Smart Cities. Taking into consideration the international strategies of city sustainability, as well as Thessaloniki’s special features, a set of indicators of ISO 37120 and ELOT 1457 (KPIs) regarding more than 10 thematic categories such as Education, Energy, Environment, Health and Transportation was included in the SDI platform.
