Abstract

There are many indexes and ranking bodies on Smart Cities. However, most of these rankings have their own specific evaluation criteria and ranking methodologies. Currently, there are no uniformly and universally accepted methods for comprehensive and fair evaluation of smart cities. This is a problem as no ranking is widely accepted and universally agreed upon. This not only creates chaos but also confusion as to what indexes to follow. In this paper, 6 current smart city indexes (IMD-SUTD Smart City Index, AT Kearney Global Cities Index, IESE Cities in Motion Index, EasyPark Cities of the Future Index, Mori-Foundation Global Power City Index and Smart EcoCity Index) produced by major organisations are examined, discussed, and compared. Commonalities and differences are highlighted, revealing insights into the accuracy, comprehensiveness, shortcomings, acceptance and usage of these indexes and rankings. Finally, new evaluation factors are suggested and the rationale behind them are provided, in addition to the essential 8 criteria of economy, governance, technology, health, transport, environment, living and sustainability.

智慧城市指数、标准、指标和排名:深入调查和分析

智慧城市有很多指数和排名机构。然而，大多数排名都有自己特定的评估标准和排名方法。目前，对智慧城市进行全面、公正的评价还没有统一、普遍接受的方法。这是一个问题，因为没有一个排名是被广泛接受和普遍同意的。这不仅会造成混乱，还会让人不知道应该遵循哪些索引。本文对主要组织编制的6个当前智慧城市指数(IMD-SUTD智慧城市指数、AT Kearney全球城市指数、IESE动态城市指数、EasyPark未来城市指数、mori基金会全球电力城市指数和智能生态城市指数)进行了检查、讨论和比较。突出了这些指标和排名的共性和差异，揭示了这些指标和排名的准确性、全面性、缺点、接受度和使用情况。最后，除了经济、治理、技术、健康、交通、环境、生活和可持续性这8个基本标准外，还提出了新的评价因素，并提供了其背后的基本原理。
