A new global study of 167 cities by ESI ThoughtLab entitled Smart City Solutions for a Riskier World uncovers key findings about how the most successful cities have advanced both their economic and sustainability goals even in the face of the global pandemic.
What they found is that cities that are rebounding from the pandemic have made economic recovery faster when they make better use of city data to drive better decisions and advance their smart cities initiatives and progress toward their sustainable development goals.
