The modest aim of this conference is to raise awareness about the importance of building sustainable partnerships between official statistics, municipalities, academic institutions, citizens and businesses. Only then we can maximize the potential of data analytics for informed policy decisions on cities and, for the wellbeing of the people living, working and / or visiting them, and for the operation of the businesses with activity in and with them.

Smart Statistics can be seen as the future extended role of Official Statistics in a world impregnated with smart technologies. Smart technologies involve real-time, automated, interactive technologies that optimize the physical operation of appliances and consumer devices. Statistics themselves would then be transformed into a smart technology embedded in smart systems that would transform "data" to "information".

SMURBS is invited to present his own prespective and outcomes extracted so far.
