Summary of BSI's Smart Cities Advisory Group identified a number of issues where barriers to smart
activities city implementation can be reduced and progress accelerated through provision of
standards. The benefits of this approach will include sharing of good practice on devel‐
opment and implementation of new service models, identifying common solutions to
technical problems, setting out the preconditions for interoperability of data and city
systems and describing ways in which risks can be managed and mitigated.
BSI’s smart cities standards work provides a foundation of knowledge to help establish a
common vision for smart cities. The first stage of work has focused on establishing a
common understanding of the benefits of smart cities and the approaches that can be
taken to improve city performance. Specific projects include:
 Providing an overview description of a smart city to provide a basis for com‐
municating the benefits of smart cities to key decision makers (PD 8100 – pub‐
lished and available online for free)
 Establishing common terminology for smart cities, promoting a shared under‐
standing of concepts (PAS 180 – published and available online for free)
 Preparing smart city planning guidelines to set out how major new residential,
retail and business developments can support the wider plans of that city to be‐
come smarter (PD 8101 – published and available online for free)
 Setting out principles for economic assessment and funding of smart city initia‐
tives, covering the potential business models and means of procurement (Re‐
port available for free at www.bsigroup.com/smart‐cities/smart‐cities‐
economic‐assessment‐and‐funding‐initiatives/)
 Providing a decision‐making framework for smart city leaders, setting out how
to deliver a smart city project (PAS 181 – published and available online for free)
 Developing a smart city data concept model to promote the sharing of data be‐
tween different agencies within a city (PAS 182 – published and available online
for free)
 Mapping the current smart city landscape across different standards bodies in‐
ternationally and sharing best practice (Free report at
www.bsigroup.com/smartcitymapping)
 Contributing to ISO standards on sustainable community development, global
city indicators and infrastructure metrics

 In the second phase of work, starting in 2015, BSI is collaborating with the Fu‐
ture Cities Catapult to create the City Standards Institute (CSI). CSI is currently
identifying further issues that should form the basis of a more detailed stand‐
ards programme beyond 2015, addressing specific practical issues and risks that
will be encountered in the roll‐out of smart city programmes. Specific projects
that are being considered include:
 Identifying a set of core datasets for cities, their applications and benefits
 Developing a decision making framework for sharing data and information
