2. The Smart City ideal
Information capture across the city combined with data analysis at a city level allows resources to be monitored and controlled in real time

3. BSI Smart City Standards Strategy
Standards for smart cities are needed to:
Allow the development of replicable solutions
Increase confidence in procurement of infrastructure and services
Provide good practice for developing smart cities
BSI’s smart city standards strategy aims to accelerate the development of smart cities, by working with cities and their partners to find common solutions
Phase 1 of the programme is helping cities to take the first steps
Phase 2 aims to help create the long-term smart city market

4. The city’s vision and development goals are the starting point

The city’s vision and development goals are the starting point
Cities face common challenges, but the priority varies from city to city.
Bristol: carbon reduction, inclusive green-digital economy
Birmingham: carbon reduction, traffic management
Glasgow: integrated services across health, transport, energy and public safety

5. Standards to support city objectives
To evaluate options, cities need strategic frameworks and metrics:
BS 8904:2011 Guidance for community sustainable development provides a framework for setting priorities in line with the needs of the community
PAS 2070:2013 provides a methodology for measurement of Green House Gas emissions at a city level
ISO TC 268 Smart cities and communities is working on city indicators and infrastructure metrics
Future work is needed to develop a methodology on assessing city performance

6. City developments need to allow for future uses of IT

City developments need to allow for future uses of IT
Holistic planning needs to take account of future city potential Multi-party projects need a shared vision and benefits realization plan User needs and behaviours have to be incorporated in the design

7. Standards for developing smart city projects
PD 8101 Planning guidelines for smart city developments: to enable new developments to be planned with smart city requirements in mind. Publication: May 2014
PAS 181 Smart City Framework: Providing guidance for decision-makers in smart cities and communities on delivery of smart city projects and programmes. Publication: February 2014

8. Smart city framework - PAS 181 Aims
PAS 181 Smart City Framework
Establish a good practice framework for city leaders (from the public, private and voluntary sectors)
To develop, agree and deliver smart city strategies that can transform their city’s ability to meet its future challenges and deliver its future aspirations
Focus on the enabling processes by which new technologies coupled with organizational change can help deliver the diverse visions for future UK cities in more efficient, effective and sustainable ways

9. Four key components of the Smart City Framework

10. Creating a shared understanding between stakeholders
Success depends on creating a common understanding and shared goals between all stakeholders, inside and outside the city boundary:
City authority
Public and private sector delivery partners
National service providers and commissioning authorities
Businesses
Residents of the city and the surrounding area

11. Understanding between stakeholders – current projects
PD 8100 Overview description of a smart city - in preparation
PAS 180 Smart City Vocabulary to establish common terminology that can be used across services and delivery channels. Publication: February 2014
Smart city standards map to identify existing standards across all standards bodies

12. Sharing data across the city
19/09/2018
Sharing data across the city
Sources of
Information &
data
Service
Delivery
Channels
Bringing together data from the built environment, local authority databases and user-generated data

13. PAS 182 – Smart city data concept model
• Catalogue data holdings leading to improved discovery and re-use
• Reduce ‘re-collection’ of data that already exists
• Re-use patterns and components that act on a concept
• Enable re-use of data, services and solutions between agencies
• Promote a ‘master data’ approach where definitive and authoritative information is published for each concept
• Support requirements definition and procurement
19/09/2018

14. Further interoperability challenges
Key areas identified for future standardization:
The need to define what is the requirement at the Framework Level: the Interoperability Ecosystem.
A General Guide covering infrastructure and data use in cities
A Code of Practice for Open Data covering definition and access
A requirement for technical specifications for a Digital Consumer Unit
Alignment with standards programmes on BIM, internet of things, open data will be critical
19/09/2018

15. Procurement and developing the business case
Smart city projects are hard to fund using a conventional return-on-investment model
Good practice on developing a fundable business case is needed
Performance standards for smart city components and services will help in procurement
New approaches to collaboration in city projects should be formalized
19/09/2018

16. Managing risks and resilience
Smart cities will need to address the concerns of citizens:
Standards exist or are being developed for information security (ISO 27001), data protection (BS 10012) and privacy management in the cloud (ISO 27017)
Standards are needed for accessibility of digital services and resilience of city systems
19/09/2018

17. The smart city standards landscape
Standards should codify the knowledge that cities need to:
Develop smart city strategies
Implement better organizational processes
Develop new products and services
