This work aims to understand the applicability of several recent ISO standards concerning cities’ sustainability. Among these standards, we highlight the ones related to sustainable cities and communities, namely ISO 37123:2019 - Indicators for Resilient Cities, ISO 37122:2019 - Indicators for Smart Cities and ISO 37120:2018 - Indicators for City Services and Quality of Life. Furthermore, among the long list of indicators presented in each standard, we are concerned with the ones related to transport and how they can represent a step forward in sustainable mobility promotion. Unfortunately, only a few works have dealt with this validation type. Therefore, using a NUTIII from Portugal - the Coimbra Region, a group of selected indicators concerning transport was applied to a group of municipalities. Unfortunately, the results show that most of the data needed is unavailable, and many indicators cannot be easily calculated. However, when calculated, this group of indicators can be used to compare cities’ attractions and advantages, being a precious tool to promote sustainable policies around regional cohesion and equity. Furthermore, this work can also contribute to advice regarding local applications of universal rules.
