768 ITU‐T's Technical Reports and Specifications A sustainable society should have a manageable wealth gap, and an open channel for citizens. It should be appealing, free and have a democratic environment for people to discuss and co‐operate. This section checks if ICT is helping to increase social coherence and citizenship consciousness. D5.4 Governance This part investigates ICT applications in various administrative affairs and checks if they are helping to improve anti‐corruption as well as government openness and efficiency. 6.3.6 D6 Physical infrastructure The ICT impact on D6 Physical infrastructure would be evaluated in 11 categories: infrastructure/connection to services – piped water (D6.1), infrastructure/connection to services – sewage (D6.2), infrastructure/connection to services – electricity (D6.3), infrastructure/connection to services – waste management (D6.4), infrastructure/connection to services – knowledge infrastructure (D6.5), infrastructure/connection to services – health infrastructure (D6.6), infrastructure/connection to services – transport (D6.7), infrastructure/connection to services – road infrastructure (D6.8), housing – building materials (D6.9), housing – living space (D6.10), and building (D6.11). This part would focus on the improvement of the important municipal infrastructures. D6.1 Infrastructure/connection to services – piped water Municipal pipe networks, such as water, electricity, gas, and heating pipes, etc., stretch out to every corner of the city. There are various kinds of pipe networks which play an important role in the functioning of the city. These systems are colossal, complex and arduous to maintain. Moreover, they are not risk free, some even has a potentially fatal danger like the gas pipe network. Therefore, there is an urge for smart cities to upgrade their municipal pipe network maintenance with modern smart technologies. D6.2 Infrastructure/connection to services – sewage Sanitation is an important public service to prevent diseases from spreading. This part is mainly concerned with ICT’s impact on (CDC), sewage systems as well as garbage disposal and recycling. D6.3 Infrastructure/connection to services – electricity This part is about the infrastructure of electricity at the city level. D6.4 Infrastructure/connection to services – waste management This part is about the infrastructure of waste management at the city level. D6.5 Connection to services – knowledge infrastructure This part is about the knowledge infrastructure such as education, and culture at the city level. D6.6 Infrastructure/connection to services – health infrastructure This part is about the infrastructure of health care at the city level.
