Just a bit less than one year ago in July 2020, Sparrow submitted its first contribution to ITU, proposing to develop a new ITU standard: ‘A Methodology for Next-Generation Urban Measurements’.

This proposal was accepted by ITU-T Study Group 20 and over the following months, Sparrow worked hard to identify the most important items for the future standard.

The latest version of the draft standard includes a general description of the need for urban measurements to assist cities in their self-assessments using KPIs, supported by a case study of cities working to introduce real-time assessments of environmental performance.

The main journey is just about to begin! Sparrow invites all smart city stakeholders to contribute to this case study to build a full picture of the exciting innovation underway in urban measurements around the world.
