Abstract

This paper shows how sustainable and smart strategies can be implemented in
cities and how these strategies influence, and are influenced by, performance
measurement systems. Drawing upon the Foucauldian notion of governmentality,
the authors present the case of Gothenburg in Sweden, where they interviewed the
key actors involved in a new sustainability strategy. Translating strategy into
performance measurement systems requires collaboration across organizational
boundaries and considerations of financial goals and social and human aspects.
