Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that
are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of
technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also
take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for

ISO/IEC 30146:2019(E)
Introduction
Smart city is a concept that has been widely used by city administrators, planners and implementers
for decades. Although the precise definition of smart city has not been agreed upon among different
international standardization organizations, the significance of information and communication
technology (ICT) as indispensable key enablers is universally recognized. During the global development
of smart cities, the issue of effectively adopting ICT in smart city programs as key enablers has become a
common focus among scientific research institutions, industries, city administrators and construction
[1][7][8]
implementers. This document supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals .
It is an urgent and important task to develop standard evaluation methods and indicators focusing on
the area of ICT within the smart city, with which the city stakeholders can understand the smart city
performance from the perspective of ICT. The evaluation methods and indicators focus on the individual
efficient functioning of different systems, infrastructures and facilities. In addition, they also provide
the guidance on how cities function holistically and facilitate innovation and growth in an integrated
and coherent way.
The purpose of establishing smart city ICT indicator systems and conducting smart city evaluations is
to guide and promote a systematic construction of a smart city. The indicators can be used as a whole
package to evaluate a smart city holistically. The package can also be tailored as individual parts when
evaluating cities or certain aspects of cities. The indicators can be used to:
— evaluate the city ICT preparation state before starting the smart city construction;
— evaluate the effect of city ICT during and after the smart city construction;
— compare the smart city construction between cities in the area of city ICT in a certain area to
promote smart city healthy competition and development.
This document establishes criteria to evaluate in making cities smarter. This document can be used
to evaluate the level of smart city development. It is applicable to city, municipality or the local
government. For city administration organizations, it can be used for self-evaluation and to develop
corresponding ICT strategies to make cities smarter. For related evaluation agencies and scientific
research institutions, it also provides guidance and reference in developing smart city ICT indicators.
The indicators in this document are consistent with the overall work of ISO/TC 268/WG 2 on smart city
indicators.

5 General architecture
The general architecture of smart city ICT indicators is shown in Figure 1. From the figure, the taxonomy
of indicators in this document is defined.
Figure 1 — General architecture of smart city ICT indicators
Smart city ICT indicators are classified as performance indicators and capability indicators. The
smart city performance indicators include citizen service level, efficient governance level and liveable
environment level. The smart city capability indicators include the smart facility level, information
resource level and cyber security level.

ISO/IEC 30146:2019(E)
The system of smart city ICT indicators is categorized into two dimensions and each dimension includes
three levels. First-level and second-level indicators are basic classifications of indicators. Third-level
indicators are specific indicators which are used in the smart city evaluation process.
6 General principles
6.1 Indicators selection
The design principles of the smart city ICT indicators are provided as below:
— Clear and unambiguous
— Each indicator needs to have a clear definition and measurement method.
— A measurement method needs to be a simple formula.
— Scientific and reasonable
— The indicators need to reflect the connotations and characteristics of the smart city.
— The quantity of listed indicators needs to be reasonable. There is no need to have too many
indicators.
— Representative
— The indicators need to be citizen oriented and performance oriented. A large proportion of
performance indicators are related with citizen benefits and citizen experience.
— The indicators need to take the vision of the city into account.
— Collectable and quantifiable
— The indicators need to be objective, not subjective.
— The indicators need to have a clear data source.
— Consistent
— The indicators need to be in line with related International Standards.
— Continuously updated
— The indicators need to be continuously updated with the development status of the smart city.
6.2 Indicators description
In this document, tables are used to describe the indicators. Each table has 4 columns named by number,
indicator name, description and measurement method.
The system of smart city ICT indicators includes three levels, as shown in Figure 1. This document uses
“L1” to “Ln” to represent the first-level indicators. For example, it uses "L1" to represent the first-level
indicator. “L1.1” represents the second-level indicator which is categorized into the first-level indicator
“L1”. “L1.1.1” represents the third-level indicator which is classified to the second-level indicator “L1.1”.
When specifying the measuring method of each indicator, a hundred-mark system is adopted in this
document.
