To succeed in the post-COVID world, urban leaders need access to evidence-based analysis showing the innovative technologies, solutions, and business models that will work best, particularly when the next disruption hits.

ThoughtLab, in collaboration with a global coalition of business, government, and academic leaders has aimed at providing city decision-makers with an evidence-based roadmap to building the smart city of the future. Called Smart City Solutions for a Riskier World, this research initiative explores how 167 cities—with diverse populations and economies—use smart innovation and public-private partnerships to drive results.

"Our discussions with global city leaders have made it clear that the pandemic has been a catalyst for remarkable technological, business, and social change, which will continue even after the health crisis ends."

Regional Scorecards

COVID-19 has accelerated the need for cities around the world to adopt innovative solutions to achieve their social, environmental, and economic goals. But the priorities and solutions vary by region—and within regions, based on a city's population size, development maturity, and other factors.

To help city leaders compare their practices and progress against those of peers, ThoughtLab has developed regional scorecards for 167 cities across six world regions: Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and North America.

To understand citizen perspectives on smart, sustainable programs, ThoughtLab created a real-time, AI-enabled Citizen Sentiment Tracker.
