The CEN-CENELEC-ETSI ‘Smart and Sustainable
Cities and Communities Coordination Group’
ITU-T Forum
Geneva, 13 October 2014
Monica Ibido,
Programme Manager, CEN and CENELEC Management Centre
The Context
 Cities are ‘driving forces’ in generating European
economic and sustainable growth
 Expected to deliver ‘more and new’ services, be
globally competitive and meet the EU 20/20/20
energy and climate goals
 Need for a holistic approach to the economic,
environmental, and social challenges that cities are
facing
 The EU is expected to invest around €200m for Smart
Cities in the next two years and standardization?
European Standards – evolution
…meeting stakeholder needs
Smart and Sustainable Cities and
Communities’ Coordination Group
- The SSCC-SG was set up at the end of 2012 as a CENCENELEC Coordination Group
- The Secretariat of the Coordination Group is provided by
AFNOR (FR); Chairperson is Mr Jean-Félix, Managing
Director of Syntec Ingénierie, and Vice-President of EFCA
- ETSI joined in 2014 to cover the ICT aspects
Smart and Sustainable Cities and
Communities Coordination Group
The SSCC-CG membership
Members and Observers compose the SSCC-CG
Members: representatives from relevant CEN and
CENELEC and ETSI Technical Committees, ETSI
Secretariat, CEN and CENELEC Advisory and Coordination
bodies, CCMC, partner organizations of CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CENELEC National Members with an interest
Observers: representatives from ISO (ISO/TC 268
‘Sustainable development in communities’), IEC, ITU, the
European Commission/EFTA, interested organisations
Scope of the SSCC-CG
-
Coordinate standardization activities and foster
collaboration around standardization work
-
Advice CEN and CENELEC (Technical) and ETSI
Boards, on European interests and needs, relating to
standardization on Smart and Sustainable Cities &
Communities
-
Not elaborate European standards but make
proposals/recommendations
-
Take into account existing ISO/IEC/ITU deliverables and
activities in view of consistency at international level
Activities of the SSCC-CG
It will work by consensus on:
 Strategic coordination
 Technical coordination
 Foster interested parties’ mobilization and support
(networks of cities, industries, etc..)
 Synergies with the EU initiatives on Smart Cities
-
Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform
-
European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities (OIP)
Deliverables and timing
- Mapping of relevant International, European and National
initiatives
- Mapping of stakeholders and interested parties in Europe
- Mapping of topics and issues to be dealt with, within the
scope of smart and sustainable cities and communities
 Roadmap presenting the outcome of the 3 Tasks Groups
 Recommendations for follow-up actions and for the
possible creation of a Technical Committee(s) for future
standardization work
Tasks completed by the end of 2014 - reporting to the CEN
and CENELEC (Technical) and ETSI Boards
The context setting framework
Development of a
“context setting framework”/common
reference framework”
providing a common understanding of
how a city works and a common way to identify
the key issues, challenges and opportunities
faced by cities
Why to have a common model
• To make it easier for people implementing smart
city projects to find useful standards that already
exist and identify more precisely what other
standards are needed
• To identify gaps and priorities where further
standardization is needed
• To help in the co-ordination of global smart city
standards work
• Evolution of the GridWise approach

The methodology

Mapping out city purposes towards different city
systems

Map out the city systems, the infrastructures
connecting them and the city actors involved

Identify the most appropriate set of layers of
integration to use to map out the interdependency
between the city systems

Analysis of Case Studies for definition and review
of relevant layers
Develop generic Use
Cases

SSCC-CG activities
•
Running workshops on the context setting framework
(November 2013, January 2014 and May 2014)
•
Creation of User Story template
and collection of Use Cases
•
Further testing by NSBs and
revised as necessary
•
Use SDOs to fill in the database of User stories and
existing initiatives (ex. Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform)
Outcome of the workshops
• The concept setting framework useful for mapping
smart city standards
• It can be used as basis for developing a smart city
reference architecture
• Review as many case studies of smart and
sustainable city and community projects as possible
• Use synergies with existing initiatives to get more
case studies

The ESOs Challenges
-
Common definitions and global concepts understanding
Technologies as key enablers – enlarge the
standardization scenario
A ‘context setting framework’ to be developed, tested and
shared
Find out a common way to the
National/European/International level initiatives
Bring (city) stakeholders on board …including citizens
Education and awareness raising
Promote self-assessment as the best approach for
progress measurement
- Play a role !
