Why standards are the key to success?

The process of digital transformation burst on the scene as a
means to ease integration of technologies and ICTs into the
urban ecosystem for streamlining operations, facilitating
decision-making and delivering a better quality of life to
inhabitants.

International standards can provide crucial guidance, and
technical and policy recommendations that urban stakeholders
can use to set their city’s priorities, navigate global challenges
and implement innovative solutions to accelerate digital
transformation and make cities and communities, and ultimately
countries, smarter and more sustainable.

Standards can accelerate digital transformation for more people-
centered cities that are inclusive for all citizens in terms of, for
example, gender, age and disability.
