 International definition
“A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses information and
communication technologies (ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life,
efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that
it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic,
social, environmental as well as cultural aspects”.

“Internet of Things and its applications, including smart cities and
communities”
2 Working Parties
Established in WP1: Internet of Things (IoT) 7 Questions
June 2015
WP2: Smart cities and Communities (SC&C)

Tasks and objectives:

 Develop framework and roadmaps for the harmonized and coordinated development of IoT,
including M2M communications, ubiquitous sensor networks and smart cities and communities;
 Assess how the use of IoT has an impact on the smartness of cities;
 Study requirements and capabilities of IoT and its applications including SC&C;
 Develop standards, guidelines, methodologies and best practices to help cities (including rural
areas and villages) deliver services using the IoT, with an initial view to address city challenges;
 Cooperate with other regional and international standards-development organizations (SDO) and
industry forums.

 WP2: Smart cities and Communities (SC&C)
Q5/20: SC&C requirements, applications and services
Topics to study:
 SC&C related ecosystem, applications, services and use cases
 Studies that are directly related to SC&C:
smart grids water mobility logistic waste

healthcare e-government education transport utilities

 ICT requirements and the related communications technologies to be taken into account when
designing smart city services
 Efficient service analysis, strategic planning, deployment and implementation of SC&C, taking
into account different needs of developed and developing countries

Recommendations under study:

 Y.pops - Postproduction service of Smart Farming on the network
 Y.SC-Interop - Identifier service requirements for the interoperability of Smart City applications
 Y.SC–OpenData - Framework of Open Data in Smart Cities
 Y.SC-Residential - Requirements of Smart Residential Communities
 Y.smartport – Requirement of smart managements of supply services in smart port
 and more…

 WP2: Smart cities and Communities (SC&C)
Q6/20: SC&C infrastructure and framework
Topics to study:
 General reference models of SC&C
 Spatio-temporal modeling for SC&C
 Frameworks to identify the architectural and service compositions and views on SC&C
 Identification of entities, their functions, and reference points required to provide
support to SC&C applications and services
 ICT use for physical infrastructure

Recommendations under study:

 Y.frame-scc - Framework and high-level requirements of smart cities and communities

  Y.fsn - Framework and Service scenarios for Smartwork
 Y.infra - Overview of city infrastructure
 Y.ism-ssc - A Technical Framework of Integrated Sensing & Management for Smart Sustainable
Cities
 Y.isw-ssc - The Integrated Sensor Web Resource Metadata for Smart Sustainable Cities
 Y.SC-infra-TS - Telecommunication systems as infrastructure in smart cities and communities
 Y.SC-platform – Platforms interoperability for smart cities and communities
 Next SG20 meeting
 25 July to 5 August 2016, Geneva, Switzerland
 25 July 2016: Joint ITU/UNECE Forum on Smart Cities and IoT
 JCA – IoT and SC&C
 To co-ordinate the activity on IoT &
SCC across ITU-T Study Groups and to
coordinate with ITU-R and ITU-D.
 To provide a visible contact point IoT
and SC&C activities in ITU-T, to seek
co-operation from external bodies
working in the field of IoT & SCC
and enable effective two-way
communication with these bodies.
 Maintenance of a list of cross-SDO
IoT & SCC standardization items and
associated roadmap.
 14th meeting took place in Singapore on 21 January 2016
