There has recently been a conscious push for cities in Europe to be smarter and more sustainable, leading to the

orts using robust assessment frameworks. This paper ranks 28 European
capital cities based on how smart and sustainable they are. Using hierarchical clustering and principal com-
ponent analysis (PCA), we synthesized 32 indicators into 4 components and computed rank scores. The ranking
of European capital cities was based on this rank score. Our results show that Berlin and other Nordic capital
cities lead the ranking, while So
fi
a and Bucharest obtained the lowest rank scores, and are thus not yet on the
path of being smart and sustainable. While our city rank scores show little correlation with city size and city
population, there is a signi
fi
cant positive correlation with the cities
’
GDP per inhabitant, which is an indicator for
wealth. Lastly, we detect a geographical divide: 12 of the top 14 cities are Western European; 11 of the bottom
14 cities are Eastern European. These results will help cities understand where they stand vis-à-vis other cities,
giving policy makers an opportunity to identify areas for improvement while leveraging areas of strength. [-]
