Rapid urbanization, climate change, pandemics, conflicts and digitalization are the major trends that are shaping urban environments. Cities are rapidly deploying technology to modernize their operations and to address a wide range of urban challenges. An intergovernmental process to develop international smart city guidelines, building on existing agreements and standards, could help promote good governance and facilitate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the commitments in the New Urban Agenda.
