As one of the anchor programs of the GCI, within the John H.
Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, the GCIF hosts a network
of 255 cities across 82 countries committed to building standardized city
indicators for performance management including a database of comparable
statistics that allow cities to track their effectiveness on everything from
planning and economic growth to transportation, safety and education. With
initial backing from the World Bank, this fully integrated University of
Toronto project has resulted in the creation of ISO 37120 – the first
international standard on indicators for sustainable cities. The GCIF global
network, supports the newly constituted World Council on City Data – a sister
organization of the GCI/GCIF – which allows for independent, third party
verification of ISO 37120 data.
