Relationship with other publications

This PAS is issued as part of a suite of BSI publications related to smart cities:

• PAS 180 , Smart cities – Vocabulary defines terms for smart cities, including smart cities concepts, across different infrastructure and systems elements and used across all service delivery channels;
• PAS 181 , Smart city framework – Guide to establishing strategies for smart cities and communities gives guidance on a good practice framework for decision-makers in smart cities and communities (from the public, private and voluntary sectors) to develop, agree and deliver smart city strategies that can transition their city’s ability to meet future challenges and deliver future aspirations;
• PAS 182 , Smart city concept model – Guide to establishing a model for data interoperability provides a framework that can normalize and classify information from many sources so that data sets can be discovered and combined to gain a better picture of the needs and behaviours of a city’s citizens (residents and businesses);
• PAS 183 , Smart cities – Guide to establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services, gives guidance for decision-makers from the public, private and third sectors on establishing a framework which can support the sharing of city data and the creation of interoperable information services;
• PAS 185 , Smart cities – Specification for establishing and implementing a security-minded approach will specify requirements for establishing a framework for the security-minded management of smart cities and their associated infrastructure, as well as of data, information and services used to deliver city services;²⁾

• PD 8101 , Smart cities – Guide to the role of the planning and development process gives guidance on how the planning and implementation of development and infrastructure projects can equip cities to benefit from the potential of smart technologies and approaches.

This PAS complements these publications by showing how the city-wide, strategic-level approach to the development of a smart city programme, as described in PAS 181 and PD 8100, should be applied at the level of an individual smart city project. PAS 180 provides the core glossary for terms used in this PAS.
