Cities to Watch

Smarter Cities keeps an eye on cities that are working hard to improve their environmental sustainability. Cities can be smarter by finding innovative ways to encourage change for the better, such as encouraging public-private partnerships, implementing carbon reduction policies, or educating citizens about how to reduce their energy footprints, both at home and around the city.

Our Cities to Watch list features cities of all sizes that we think deserve special mention. Numbers on the map correspond to a city's overall rank in its population category. Beyond our annual rankings, we will present regular features on innovative cities, with updated profiles and photos, to keep up with the latest that cities of all sizes are up to. Check back regularly to see how this list changes and grows over time.
