4.2 Needs for a harmonized metrics
Demerit of the proliferation of
indicators
Complexity in the international trade of infrastructure
- It is difficult to compare multiple proposals (buyers)
- It is inefficient to provide different proposals using different
indicators for different customers.(vendors)
Closed methodology
- The evaluation methods of some indicators are black-box
Standardization on smart urban infrastructure metrics
・Promote the development of environmental technology
・Promote the international trade of infrastructure
・Promote the diffusion of advance technologies
