There is a dramatic urban surge ahead for virtually all African cities. This will continue to create profound challenges for city leaders as they plan for the demanding, constantly changing realities of caring for the needs and demands of their citizens. Surprisingly, there are few places leaders can look to find objective measurements comprehensive enough for the broad considerations of the city along with a framework to compare to other cities.
As cities emerge from the impact of COVID-19, it has never been more important to be able to determine the state of a given city at any point in time. CitiIQ provides the platform where meaningful, human-scale data integration is made available. We know urban growth and development (and changes in population dynamics) mean that decision-makers must determine the best course of action for policies within their circle of responsibilities. Cities are comprised of many diverse groups and communities each of which needs different information about what is important to them.
We have extended our Africites Special…….
CitiIQ is a comprehensive system that objectively measures the overall health and wellbeing of a city. Driven by 114 Indicators, CitiIQ uses an evidence-based methodology to score 35 essential elements, or Considerations of any city, within five prioritized Dimensions including Basic Needs, Competitiveness, Opportunity, Livability, and Destiny. The Indicators draw on a significant range of data sources that are acquired as part of the CitiIQ service. Using an intuitive online dashboard, a city’s measurements are readily available to clients through a cloud-based annual subscription.
The CitiIQ system is easy to use, economical, and effective with no need to purchase new software or abandon existing metrics. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, CitiIQ also provides a practical way for a city to mark progress toward SDG achievement.
Strong benefits come from establishing a city measurement framework to enable an ongoing, comprehensive, objective and comparable way to chart the progress of one’s city. To make sure you have been able to process the decision of using CitiIQ to measure your city, we are pleased to offer the Africities 9 Summit Special pricing.
