The Model is a self-diagnosis tool that identifies any city or territory's current situation concerning the dimensions and sub-dimensions where a smart city initiative can be undertaken.
The data and information generated from the implementation of the Model, supports the decision-making process since the Model generates a recommended roadmap for the efficient use of IT in the development of the initiative.
The Model will indicate a maturity level of six possible levels: Basic, Isolated, Coordinated, Connected, Integrated and Optimized. Similarly, it proposes the generation of a Smart Cities Index, which results from the weighting of three measurements proposed in the Model:
1. Measurement of capacities: It allows knowing the local public entity's degree of skills to formulate and execute the initiative.
2. Measurement of perception: Consultation was carried out with citizens to determine their opinion regarding the city's different dimensions.
3. Measurement of results: It measures the results of the actions carried out by the local authorities.
The Model gives cities the ability to understand and solve their challenges and problems or their citizens' needs.
