Positive comments about the tool
The success of the indicators reporting depends on getting the most accurate information presently available. The guiding principles for all data collecting are that it should be the best available, the latest available, and the fully documented one.

Negative comments about the tool
Major problems concern the large number of government agencies holding the data and the different arrangements for the provision of urban services in different countries, particularly those with a federal system.
