Dataset normalization for low carbon cities in a multi-criteria evaluation model

Data in this article are related to a paper entitled "Towards a Generic Multi-criteria Evaluation Model for Low Carbon Cities". This paper sets out a framework for data normalization in a multi-criteria evaluation model that was tested and validated in 15 cities. Data deals with measurable indicators such as GDP per capita, CO₂ emissions per capita and public buses per capita. In addition to published papers, selected World Bank and Siemens reports were useful to operationalize and identify low carbon cities.
