素里进入全球Smart21 Communities of 2015半决赛名单，300个提名城市只有21个进入了半决赛，其中来自加拿大的有３个，美国５个，澳大利亚４个，台湾４个，巴西、日本、哈萨克斯坦、肯尼亚、新西兰各１个。第一名将在今年６月份选出，上一次的冠军是多伦多。

该奖主要考虑５项智能化城市指标：宽带接入、知识型工作人口、创新、数字化、营销和推广。

素里的“智能素里战略”（Smart Surrey Strategy）主要包括：

• The “My Surrey App”, a convenient alternative for residents to engage and interact with the city. The app acts a portal for all Surrey apps and also includes features such as news, events, facility locations, job listings, bike routes, and parking.

• Citywide Wi-Fi service in partnership with Shaw Communications Inc. which will soon be offered free at more than 40 locations throughout the city, including recreation centres, and a number of parks, civic buildings and public spaces.

• An Open Data Catalogue, comprising more data sets than any other municipality in Canada, available free on the City website. The catalogue includes datasets on crime, financial information and restaurant inspections.

• The "Surrey Request App" which enables citizens to report issues, including litter, graffiti, potholes, street light outages, and park maintenance.

• Innovation Boulevard, a partnership of health, business, higher education and government which is creating new health technologies to improve peoples' lives in the areas of medical devices, independent living and digital health.
