This paper provides the key elements to
develop an integrated approach for measuring and monitoring
city performance globally. The paper reviews the role of
cities and why indicators are important. Then it discusses
past approaches to city indicators and the systems developed
to date, including the World Bank's initiatives. After
identifying the strengths and weaknesses of past
experiences, it discusses the characteristics of optimal
indicators. The paper concludes with a proposed plan to
develop standardized indicators that emphasize the
importance of indicators that are measurable, replicable,
potentially predictive, and most important, consistent and
comparable over time and across cities. As an innovative
characteristic, the paper includes subjective measures in
city indicators, such as well-being, happy citizens, and trust.
