The second edition of Ericsson's Networked Society City Index ranks 25 of the world's largest cities according to their ability to transform ICT to social, economic and environmental benefits.
The top three cities in the index - Seoul, Singapore and Stockholm - have successfully met many social, economic and environmental targets by making extensive investments in ICT. Singapore, for example, is aggressively driving innovation in e-health, and is a pioneer in traffic-congestion management. Seoul, meanwhile, is using ICT to realize many environmental benefits of high tech initiatives.
