The framework has been prepared based on the recogni�on and realisa�on of the growing importance of implemen�ng and building smart ci�es in Malaysia. The Government of Malaysia believes that smart ci�es provide the op�mal approach in future proofing the planning, building and management of ci�es to provide sustainable solu�ons to the many urban challenges including improving the efficient delivery of city services, reducing environmental pollu�on, and easing traffic conges�on. These aim to improve the quality of life of city communi�es. The document has been prepared to also fulfil the na�onal and global agenda of mee�ng the

objec�ves of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as making sure Malaysia is always in line with the global trends in urban development. The smart city framework document has also emphasised the need to develop and implement the Standards for Smart City with the objec�ve to establish indicators for the ranking of smart ci�es. The indicators would form a yard s�ck to measure and determine the level of smart city implementa�on in the future so that they are in line with global ranking standards. KPKT, through PLANMalaysia, is collabora�ng with Standard Malaysia to develop Malaysian Standard for Smart City Indicators in referring to the interna�onal document, ISO 37122 (Sustainable Ci�es and Communi�es- Smart City Indicators) as the benchmark for the smart city ranking exercise in line with the objec�ves of the Malaysia Smart City Framework.

The Smart City Indicators will be adopted by the local governments to evaluate the implementa�on of smart ci�es, set measurable targets and monitor progress towards their goals in achieving a smart city. The indicators specified in the standard are to be reported annually.
