Enabling digital transformation in smart sustainable cities – Master plan

2) Financing model: Even though there are various methods to fund a project, and these
methods may vary in each city, common criteria should be included when using such
methods. These include stability, diversification, balance and adaptability. The members
of this committee should be people who have worked on the development of the master
plan first hand. However, this should reinforce the competences in budgetary control, and
should be able to specify the agreements and develop a communication plan.
3) Evaluation model: For this model, it is important to differentiate the evaluation of
specific SSC projects or examine a holistic vision of SSC developments. Furthermore,
the constant monitoring of external factors and the choice of evaluation methods of key
issues is needed. By doing so, it is possible to obtain better control of the evolution of the
economic execution plans, deadlines and the upgrading of existing KPIs.
4) Dissemination and communication: The master plan will be followed by a communication
strategy in order to maintain interest in the process. Instruments such as the creation of a
corporate image for the project, outreach publicity, publication of technical documents
(etc.) will support this objective.
