About
This dataset presents an analysis of global smart city initiatives, interpreting how cities like Calgary and Edmonton perform against global leaders. It leverages insights developed from globally-recognised indices, which themselves originate from open datasets. The purpose of this data is to evaluate various aspects that define smart cities, understanding how data and automation are integrated into urban living to enhance the resident experience. The data was compiled from existing open datasets and indices, not originally collected or parameterised by the current sharer.
