A definition of Smart Sustainable City
A Smart Sustainable City is a city that meets the needs of its present inhabitants,
- without compromising the ability for other people or future generations to meet their needs, and thus, does not exceed local or planetary environmental limitations, and
- where this is supported by ICT

Challenges for Smart Sustainable Cities
Development of assessment methods to ensure that cities identified as Smart Sustainable Cities are in fact sustainable;
Complementing mitigating measures to avoid rebound effects;
The relationship between top-down and bottom-up initiatives needs further exploration;
Strategies for strengthening city governments’ competences are needed;
Governance models for smart sustainable city development must be considered.
