3. Smart Cities
 “Smart Cities” : means many things
for many people, (depending on
what aspect of the city we are
touching upon).
 The one thing that remains constant
is that “being smart” to a large
extent is associated with
 having access to better-informed
decisions and
 actions that will enable cities and
people to do things differently
and tackle urban growth
challenges.
 Means relying on what information
and communication technology (ICT)
can offer.

4. Smart Cities Definition..
 In year 2007, Prof Rudolf Giffinger of Vienna University of Technology
formally coined the term “Smart City”
 Smart City uses technology and ICT to better quality & performance to
engage more effectively and actively with its citizens.
 The Smart City includes government services, transport, traffic
management, energy, health care, water and waste.
 The UK Department of Business, Innovation and Skills considers smart
cities a process rather than as a static outcome, in which increased citizen
engagement, hard infrastructure, social capital and digital technologies
make cities more livable, resilient and better able to respond to
challenges.
 The British Standards Institute defines it as “the effective integration of
physical, digital and human systems in the built environment to deliver
sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future of its citizens”.

5. Smart City Definition
 CISCO defines smart cities as those who adopt scalable solutions that
take advantage of information and communications technology (ICT) to
increase efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance the quality of life”.
 Wikipedia defines a city as Smart when investments in human and social
capital and traditional (Transport) and modern (ICT) communications
infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality
of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through
participatory action and engagement (Caragliu et al, 2009)
 Frost & Sullivan defines as “Smart cities are an evolved state of
urbanization where application of technology integrates diverse
individual entities such as buildings, utilities, authorities, infrastructure
and industries.”
In short, a smart city is one that uses information technology to solve urban
problems

 Local benchmarking and planning
 Informed decision making for policy makers and city managers
 Learning across cities
 Leverage for funding and recognition in international entities
 Leverage for funding by cities with senior levels of government
 Framework for sustainability planning
 Transparency and open data for investment attractiveness
 Comparable data for city decision making, insight and global
benchmarking

13. Standardization efforts in Smart
Cities
 In the wake of the World Smart City Forum, held on 13 July
2016,Singapore,representative of ISO,IEC,ITU,IEEE,CEN-CENELEC & ETSI
gathered for meeting initiated by the IEC.
 This meeting was a global first and part of an ongoing dialogue among
standard organizations
 The aim was to accelerate and better align Smart City Standardization work,
which is essential for successful Smart City deployment

14. Traditional Certification
ISO 27000 ,Clause 2.77
 ISO 27000 (Information
Security Management
Systems) (ISMS) Standards
 Potential cause of an
unwanted incident which
may result in harm to a
system or an organization
But what about
the city? The harm
is much wider!!

15. ISO 37210

16. WCCD (World Council on City
Data) http://www.dataforcities.org/wccd/; @wccitydata
 Discovering solutions for our rapidly urbanizing planet, the World Council on City Data (WCCD) is
the global leader in standardized city data - creating smart, sustainable, resilient, and prosperous
cities.
 As a global leader on standardized metrics, the WCCD is implementing ISO 37120 Sustainable
Development of Communities: Indicators for City Services and Quality of Life, the new
international standard; created by cities, for cities. The WCCD has developed the first ISO 37120
certification system and the Global Cities Registry™.

17. ISO 37120
 ISO 37120:2014 can be used by any city, municipality or local
government wishing to measure its performance in a comparable and
verifiable manner, irrespective of size and location or level of
development.
 ISO 37120:2014 is the first ISO standard for city indicators. It is being
developed as part of an integrated suite of standards for sustainable
development in communities.
 Scope of ISO/TC 268 - Sustainable development in communities include
requirements, guidance and supporting techniques and tools to help all
kind of communities, their related subdivisions and interested and
concerned parties become more resilient and sustainable and
demonstrate achievements in that regard.
 The proposed series of International Standards will thus encourage the
development and implementation of holistic, cross-sector and area-
based approaches to sustainable development in communities. It will
include Management System Requirements, Guidance and Related
standards.

18. ISO 37210
 Titled as “Sustainable development of communities -- Indicators for
city services and quality of life”
 It presents a set of (around 100) indicators to measure the
performance of city services and quality of life.
 The standard is applicable to any city, municipality or local government
that wants to measure its performance, in a comparable and verifiable
manner, irrespective of size and location.
 The standard is available at the ISO web site (at a price).
 A free summary can be obtained here (ISO preview facility).
A good start for measuring smart city initiatives. Need real time assessment of ICT
infrastructure.

25. The ITU Technical Spec on Smart
Sustainable Cities
 The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Focus Group on Smart
Sustainable Cities (FG-SSC) published the technical specification “Key
performance indicators related to the sustainability impacts of information
and communication technology in smart sustainable cities”, on March 2015
 The work on SSC is being continued by the new ITU-T Study Group 20 on
“Internet of things (IoT) and smart cities and communities (SC&C)”, which
provides a unique platform to influence the development of international IoT
standards and their application as part of urban-development master plans.
 The technical specification is much like the ISO 37120 ,adopting some of its
provisions on suggested metrics. ITU specification is generally “narrower”
than ISO, going deeper in some ICT issues.
 The specification is available free of charge, here (doc format, at the ITU
website).
 My view: a valuable resource, open and reusable, able to shed some light
in the ICT-related issues of a smart city. Of course, measurement indicators
are the target / not a cookbook of practices.

26. ITU Activities on IoT & Smart
Sustainable Cities

27. ITU – SSC (Smart Cities &
Communities)
 ITU-T Study Group 20 (SG20) is
responsible for the development of
international standards to enable the
coordinated development of IoT
technologies in smart cities, including
machine-to-machine communications and
ubiquitous sensor networks. This Study
Group is also involved in studies relating to
big data aspects of IoT and smart cities
and communities.

28. Towards IOT Enabled Smart Cities

29. Dubai Smart City Dimensions (Smart
Dubai, 2016)
Dubai the first city in the world to have analysed the smartness and
sustainability of its urban services taking the ITU standardized KPI’s.

31. UFSSC (United for Smart Sustainable
Cities) – new UN Initiative
ITU and UNECE launched "United for Smart Sustainable Cities" (U4SSC)
in response to the Sustainable Development Goal 11: "Make cities
and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".
U4SSC is now an UN initiative supported by CBD, ECLAC, FAO, ITU,
UNDP, UNECA, UNECE, UNESCO, UN Environment, UNEP-FI, UNFCCC,
UN-Habitat, UNIDO, UNU-EGOV, UN-Women and WMO.
U4SSC advocates for public policy to encourage the use of ICTs to
facilitate and ease the transition to smart sustainable cities.
U4SSC serves as the global platform for discussions on smart
sustainable cities.
The Sustainable Development Goals 11, otherwise known as the Global Goals, build on the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs). Adopted on 1 January 2016, these universally applicable 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, seek to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities, tackle climate change and address a range of social needs
like education, health, social protection and job opportunities over the next 15 years

32. Sustainable Development Goals
•Flipbook on "Connecting cities and communities with the SDGs"
•Flipbook on "Enhancing innovation and participation in smart sustainable cities"
•Flipbook on "Implementing SDG11 by connecting sustainability policies and urban planning practices through ICTs"

33. ITU-T FG-DPM
New Focus Group on Data Processing and Management to support IoT
and Smart Cities & Communities
 Objectives: FG – DPM will promote the establishment of data management
frameworks and will also:
 study trust in data management frameworks including digital identification and
certification;
 investigate the role of technologies to support data management and emerging
trends including blockchain;
 identify challenges in the standardization activities for data processing and
management.
 Deliverables to ITU-T SG20:
 Guide containing the required definitions of terminologies and taxonomy for
data processing and management.
 Draft Technical Reports/Specifications to address DPM standardization gaps

34. The ITU Technical Report on Smart
Sustainable Cities
 The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Focus Group on Smart
Sustainable Cities (FG-SCC) published the technical report “An overview of smart
sustainable cities and the role of information and communication technologies”,
in 2014
 The 40-pages long technical report is a well-structured description of the smart
city concept, trying to describe the intervention areas and some relevant ICT
enablers.
 The technical report is available free of charge, here (doc format, at the ITU
website).
 My view: a rather comprehensive but introductory resource. Valuable as a
training material / guide, will not enlighten the expert. Although it contains
some example technologies, it fails short from an all-inclusive map of smart
cities technologies.

35. BSI Smart City Standards Work
The UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has
commissioned BSI (The British Standards Institute) to develop a standards
strategy for smart cities in the UK. The strategy identifies the role of
standards in accelerating the implementation of smart cities and providing
assurance to citizens that the risks are being managed appropriately.
Following the various modules :

36. BSI PAS 181
 The British Standards Institute (BSI) has published the PAS 181 “Smart city
framework – Guide to establishing strategies for smart cities and
communities” as a practical guide for smart city development, in 2014
 The document contains a 12-areas map for smart cities (e.g. energy, water,
waste, etc) and a comprehensive action framework for planning and managing
smart city interventions.
 The document is available for free download here, or as paperback at a price.
 My view: one of the best all-around documents for smart city design and
development. I definitely use the actions framework in my lectures towards
municipality staff. Yet, not an all-inclusive list of interventions with a model on
how to choose, but still one of the best quality material out there.

37. BSI PAS 182
 The BSI PAS 182 “Smart city concept model. Guide to establishing a model for data
interoperability” is aimed to be a practical guide for tackling the data-related
challenges of Smart Cities, published in 2014
 The document describes a preliminary data model, to describe several aspects of
smart cities, including indicators, actors, infrastructure and other information
elements.
 actors, contains a 12-areas map for smart cities (e.g. energy, water, waste, etc) and a
comprehensive action framework for planning and managing smart city interventions.
 The document is available for free download here, or as paperback at a price.
 My view: although can be of some use, as an indicative catalogue of data elements
for (smart) cities, it fails very short from the target of “achieving interoperability”. For
that, much more are needed at the ontological and semantic level (e.g. controlled
vocabularies, extended metadata schemas, core components, etc) that can however
be adopted by standardization documents like the National Interoperability
Frameworks.

38. BSI PAS 183
 This PAS gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework
for sharing data and information services in smart cities.
 It covers:
 types of data in smart cities;
 establishing a data sharing culture;
 data value chain – roles and responsibilities;
 purposes for data use;
 assessing data states;
 defining access rights for data; and
 data formats/format of transportation.
 The document is available for free download here, or as paperback at a
price.

42. Other standards
Other relevant standardization attempts for Smart Cities are the following documents,
from BIS and ISO:
 BIS Smart city terminology (PAS 180)
 BIS Smart city overview document (PD 8100)
 BIS Smart city planning guidelines document (PD 8101)
 Research on smart infrastructure projects (PD ISO/TR 37150)
 A specification for KPIs for smart infrastructure projects (PD ISO/TS 37151)

44. Standardization Agencies in other
countries
India : BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)
SIS- Swedish Standards Institute
KATS - Korean Agency for Technology and Standards

45. Smart Cities standards in India
 National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM)
partnered with Accenture to prepare a report called ‘ Integrated ICT and
Geospatial Technologies Framework for 100 Smart Cities Mission’ to
explore the role of ICT in developing smart cities, after the announcement
of the Mission by Indian Government.
 The report, released in May 2015, lists down 55 global standards, keeping
in view several city sub -systems like urban planning, transport,
governance, energy, climate and pollution management, etc which could
be applicable to the smart cities in India.
 Though NASSCOM is working closely with the Ministry of Urban
Development to create a sustainable model for smart cities , due to lack of
regulatory standards for smart cities, the Bureau of Indian Standards
(BIS) in India has undertaken the task to formulate standardised
guidelines for central and state authorities in planning, design and
construction of smart cities by setting up a technical committee under the
Civil engineering department of the Bureau.

46. Smart Cities –Indicators (ISC
3.020.20 ) (17 Sectors)
 The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has constituted the Smart Cities Sectional
Committee, CED 59 for development of Indian Standards related to Smart cities with
the following scope –
 As a part of the above ambitious project of formulation of standards on Smart Cities
taken up by BIS, the following draft standard is hereby issued in wide circulation for
eliciting public comments
 First issued as a Preliminary draft (P Draft) on 01 Feb 2016, modified/updated and
issued as a modified P draft on 30 Sept 2016 ;
 Last Date for comments: 29 Nov 2016
 While preparing this Indian Standard, necessary guidance has been derived from
'ISO 37120:2014 Sustainable Development of Communities: Indicators for city
services and quality of life', duly modulated by the standards notified by various
statutory and other authorized agencies in India.
 The Core Indicators described in this Indian Standard are considered essential for
steering and assessing the performance management of city services and quality of
life.
 The Core and Supporting Indicators are classified into themes according to the
different sectors and services provided by a city.

62. Summary on Standardization
 During the last 18 months, smart cities standardization has done some
noticeable steps, providing a handful of documents for several smart city
aspects
 The metrics aspect appears to be the more progressed in documentation,
although ICT indicators and municipality-internal elements do not have the
proper attention, yet.
 An all-inclusive map of possible interventions is still missing, which is more
the work of researchers than standardization bodies.
 The ISO, ITU and BSI are most widely accepted and recognized standard
setting bodies regarding Smart Cities currently. However, national standard
setting organisation of several other countries like Spain, China, Germany,
Singapore, etc. are in the process of developing smart cities standards for
building safe an d secure smart cities in their respective countries, and have
been listed here .

63. Conclusion
