Some city facts
Cities account
for about twothirds of global
energy
demand.
Buildings
produce a
fifth of the
world’s CO2
emissions.
Cities produce
up to 70% of
global
greenhouse
gas emissions.
Buildings account
for roughly 40%
of the world’s
energy use.
An estimated
80% of global
GDP is
generated in
cities.
Cities challenges vs citizens interests
Cities face quite similar challenges, most of them related to sustainability

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
June 2015
WP1: Internet of Things (IoT)
7 Questions
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:

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.
