APEC smart city research
activities call for an
integrated basis that can
become a reference point
for the joint efforts of APEC
economies aimed at
sustainable development
and low-carbon future.
Employing the best
international experience
and practices will assure
more cohesive strategy for
the local governments and,
therefore, effectiveness of
the state policies and
measures in urban
development.

Relevance of Project
Realising that APEC smart city research activities need
a standard and reference indicators system for construction and maintenance of smart cities,
the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation officially announces
a new APEC research proposal of the Russian Federation:
“Elaboration of Smart City Indicators System as a Guideline and a
Common Framework for Implementation of Smart City Initiatives in
the APEC Region”
3
Objectives of Project
To develop the standard and reference indicators system for
construction and maintenance of smart cities in the APEC
region
To elaborate the technical conformity assessment
programmes and conformity assessment system for integral
elements of smart cities (energy management, smart
transport, ICT platform, water management solutions)
To elaborate technical regulations for smart technologies
(smart metering technologies, wireless sensor networks, etc.),
contributing to the information technology and digital
economy development
Success in meeting these objectives will ensure the regulatory cooperation among APEC
Economies toward smart city development

Alignment
The proposed project is in line with APEC current strategic objectives
and priorities:
1. Focus on low-carbon society and sustainable development is reflected in two
recent EWG meetings in Malaysia (EWG 43, March, 2012) and the USA (EWG
44, November, 2012) discussions and reports in the framework of:
-
APEC ENERGY SMART COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE (ESCI);
-
APEC SMART GRID INITIATIVE (ASGI);
-
LOW-EMISSION ENERGY SUPPLY, INCLUDING CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE, AND BIOMASS;
-
FACILITATE A TRANSITION TO A LOWER ENERGY ECONOMY.
2. Included in the “Action Agenda to move APEC toward an Energy Efficient,
Sustainable, Low-Carbon Transport Future” and work plan for 2011-2013
-
"WE ALSO UNDERLINE THE SUCCESSFUL PROGRESS OF THE APEC LOW-CARBON MODEL TOWN (LCMT) PROJECT, WHICH
WAS PROPOSED BY JAPAN AND ENDORSED BY THE NINTH ENERGY MINISTERS MEETING (EMM-9). IN ORDER TO REALIZE
A LOW-CARBON ECONOMY, IT IS VITAL THAT WE IMPLEMENT LOW-CARBON TECHNOLOGIES IN A COMPREHENSIVE
MANNER TO TARGET AN ENTIRE TOWN. WE EXPECT BEST PRACTICES OBTAINED BY THIS APEC PROJECT TO SERVE AS
MODELS TO THE WORLD”.
3. The task of promoting the values of low-carbon and sustainable way of living is
a substantial and integral part of EWG strategic goal
