scope:

This International Standard gives guidance for decision-makers in smart cities and communities (from the public, private and voluntary sectors) on how to develop, agree and deliver smart city strategies that can transform their cities' ability to meet future challenges and deliver future aspirations. The International Standard does not describe a one-size-fits-all model for the future of cities. Rather, the focus is on the enabling processes by which innovative use of technology and data coupled with organizational change can help each city deliver its own specific vision for the future in more efficient, effective and sustainable ways. NOTE - As such, this International Standard addresses key practical challenges in helping cities to implement ISO 37101, the management system for sustainable development of communities. However, it can also be used separately from ISO 37101.
