Implications for other stakeholders

Recommendations for sub-national and national governments• Encourage cities to use common, international metrics for ease

of benchmarking and comparison11 •Common metrics

• Support privacy, security and third-party authorised access to data policies

pitching opportunities that are not able to be quickly decided upon• releasing relevant datasets that foster the development of new

private-sector products and services

solutions
