Assessed urban performance against indicators of human and social capital, creative class presence, environmental quality, and municipal information and communication technology (ICT) access.
The concentration of a creative class and higher educational attainment levels correlate positively with urban economic wealth.
Access to and utilization of ICTs within public administration, alongside active urban environmental management, demonstrate positive correlations with overall city competitiveness.
