The aim of the paper is to define a set of smartness and sustainability indicators applicable to Italian cities under the environmental, social and cultural dimensions. Following the DPSIR model, we select a bundle of indicators for three relevant sustainability domains (environmental, social, and cultural). Then, we define groups of homogeneous cities for each domain by using a two-step cluster analysis. Results show the existence of several groups of cities in the different domains, although persisting weaknesses characterize Italian cities within the European framework.

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to define a set of smartness and sustainability indicators applicable to Italian cities under the environmental, social and cultural dimensions. Following the DPSIR model, we select a bundle of indicators for three relevant sustainability domains (environmental, social, and cultural). Then, we define groups of homogeneous cities for each domain by using a two-step cluster analysis. Results show the existence of several groups of cities in the different domains, although persisting weaknesses characterize Italian cities within the European framework.
