Standardization roadmap for smart sustainable cities
Executive summary

This Technical Report is a deliverable of the ITU‐T Focus Group on Smart Sustainable Cities (FG‐SSC),
and is one of two Technical Reports on standardization activities, gap analysis, roadmap and
suggestions to ITU study groups for smart sustainable cities (SSC). The report is intended to outline
a concise roadmap of standardization on the content provided in the “Technical Report on
standardization activities for smart sustainable cities”.

This Technical Report proposes a framework of standards which are needed for the life‐cycle of
building SSC. By classifying four categories and several areas in each category of standards, the SSC‐
related standard needs are offered as “tasks” in every area. The corresponding gaps are analyzed,
and relevant standards developing organizations (SDOs), consortia and forums are listed as
“relationships”.

This Technical Report is structured around four main sections. Section one provides the scope of the
report. Section five proposes a framework of standards, four structured categories (i.e. SSC
management and assessment, SSC services, ICT, buildings and physical infrastructure). Section six
presents SSC related SDOs activities. Section seven outlines SSC‐related standard needs, gap analysis
and relevant study groups of SDOs, consortium and forums.

The standardization roadmap presented in this Technical Report provides a valuable suggestions to
ITU‐T SG5 for future work on SSC. It also helps other study groups of ITU and SDOs to understand
the areas of the set of FG‐SSC deliverables that can serve as the basis for the development of
standards in this field.
