Due to the growing role of the smart city topic and number of smart city developments the preparation of sufficient indicator systems and methodologies is more necessary than ever. Without the indicators, the project execution and measurement are not possible, therefore more and more methodologies are prepared at a strategic or decision-making level. These indicator systems can be applied universally or globally, independently from the geographical location, size or other features of the cities or the projects. This essay provides an overview of several high-level indicator systems and methodologies and analyses contents and structures. After the presentation of the methodologies the essay summarises the opportunities for possible application, sets out a practical introduction and proposes the preparation of a complete methodology, which can be used as a framework for any city to create its own indicator system.
