Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
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 the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
A compact city is an urban design concept that invites people back to a small area in a city where
the population has decreased or is decreasing. Modal shifts of passengers from public to private
transportation have resulted in people moving out of the city centre into the suburbs, since private
transportation enables movement without dependent time schedules and fixed routes. The problems
associated with public transportation are mainly related to station or stop intervals, service frequency,
approaches to stations/stops and service routes and networks. Furthermore, large-scale shopping
malls and hospitals are frequently constructed outside cities. Such a situation accelerates the outflow of
residents, resulting in the de-urbanization of city centres. Downtown, the public realm and community
safety fall into decline, causing more people to move out to the suburbs. This negative spiral continues,
changing the character of a city.
One way to pre-empt the deterioration of a city centre is through the creation of a compact city. The
concept behind compact cities is that facilities for citizens, such as shopping malls, offices and hospitals,
are placed in a small target areas. These facilities are connected to one another by short-interval, high-
frequency public transportation which can be easily accessed by citizens. Additionally, this type of
transportation reconnects citizens living in the suburbs to the urban centre, with service lines laid
radially in relation to the suburbs surrounding the area. This transportation network successfully
attracts people into a target area from its periphery and retains them therein. This is a solution to
the problem of declining city centres, utilizing smart transportation to resuscitate small downtown
areas. This document describes a way to organize smart transportation to create a compact city that
regenerates a declining urban centre and rejuvenates its economic, physical and social infrastructure.

Smart community infrastructures — Smart transportation
for compact cities
1 Scope
This document describes criteria to help plan or organize smart transportation for compact cities. It
is intended to apply to cities facing a decline in population. Smart transportation can be applied to the
issue of population loss as a means of attracting people back to the city.
