随着世界人口的快速增长，全球能源需求呈指数级增长，技术进步需要比以往任何时候都更具弹性的基础设施，因此迫切需要在智能城市中开发创新的能源系统。本文介绍了一种新的模型来评估城市的智慧。智慧城市的特点是评估8个主要领域，包括经济，环境，社会，治理，能源，基础设施，交通和流行病弹性。通过评估几个关键参数来评估每个域，这些参数反映了任何给定城市中该域的状况。所有指标都是可以衡量和评估的，这使这种方法更可信和准确。该模型已在全球20个城市应用。将智能能源指数提高25%，使所有城市的智能经济指数翻一番。此外，人均GDP提高50%，智能经济指数略有上升。智慧治理与智慧经济存在正线性关系，p值为0.004。蒙特利尔的智慧城市指数最高，为0.8，而阿布贾最低，为0.3。社会经济和能源领域是必须改进的关键领域，以实现更高的智慧城市指数得分，从而实现弹性和智慧城市。
As the world population grows rapidly, the global energy demand increases exponentially and the technological advancements require more resilient infrastructure than ever, there is a strong need to develop innovative energy systems in smart cities. This paper introduces a novel model to assess cities for their smartness. A smart city is characterized by assessing 8 main domains including economy, environment, society, governance, energy, infrastructure, transportation, and pandemic resiliency. Each domain is evaluated by assessing several key parameters that reflect the condition of that domain in any given city. All indicators are measurable and can be assessed, which gives this approach more credibility and accuracy. This model has been applied on 20 cities worldwide. Enhancing the smart energy index by 25 % results in doubling the smart economy index for all cities. Furthermore, enhancing the GDP per capita by 50 % results in modest increase in the smart economy index. Smart governance has a positive and linear relationship with smart economy with a p value of 0.004. Montreal has the highest Smart City Index of 0.8 while Abuja has the lowest of 0.3. Socioeconomic and energy domains are critical domains that must be improved to achieve higher Smart City Index scores and therefore resilient and smart cities.
