This report provides a global perspective on how city platforms facilitate more efficient and effective control of public infrastructure and services, improve economic efficiencies, enable rapid development of new or complex services and play a critical role in the overall digital transformation of urban areas.

It also provides a layered model of the reference technological architecture, along with enabling solutions, and covers other such themes as the different regulations existing and contained in international instruments, the experience of certain cities with the implementation and operation of city platforms, not to mention a description of core challenges faced by cities in strategic, technical, and operational aspects, and the barriers encountered in the implementation of the city platforms. The report concludes by outlining the technical and non-technical challenges that cities are still facing when implementing the envisioned platforms along with the pivotal role of international standardization in addressing them.
