World Smart Cities Ranking for Doing Business in Climate Change
In recent years, urban areas and cities have been developing in association with smart technologies. In various cities worldwide, smart city projects have been introducing smart technologies, such as smart parking, smartphone detection, smart lighting, and smart houses. Although smart city projects have received much publicity and curiosity, there has been less discussion regarding the evaluation of smart city projects. One approach to evaluating smart city projects would be surveying experts with specific in-depth knowledge and insight regarding smart city project evaluations. The present study does not adopt this approach, but examines expert opinions on smart city evaluation. Here, an attempt has been made to focus both on experts’ subjective evaluations and on various objective indicators, such as Transport and Mobility, Innovation Economy, Digitalization, Living Standard, and Governance, and using a statistical analysis, clarify which objective indicators or factors determine an expert’s evaluation. The results of the analysis show that Transport and Mobility, Innovation Economy, and Living Standard factors are more essential than other factors. Moreover, based on the results of the analysis, smart cities worldwide were reevaluated by weighting specific important factors for smart city evaluation, and the world smart city ranking was listed. According to the reevaluation results, Zürich, San Francisco, Copenhagen, Boston, Geneva, Amsterdam, Chicago, Vancouver, Montreal, and Berlin are defined as the top ten smart cities.
