What KPIs would indicate most “forward-thinking” cities?


What metrics would you consider to be the KPIs for gauging the forward-thinking nature of a city?

Some examples: - miles of bike lanes - ratio of car-free zones - in-place privacy policies regarding user data from CCTV and other source - transportation infrastructure spending

Most of my thoughts circle around transportation but I'm sure there are many important metrics outside of transportation that I'm unaware of. I'd love to hear what you think and also any great reading would be cool too.
