IEC SRD 63326:2025 This framework provides a brief of City Needs and Smart City Framework, explains the importance of it in supporting Smart Cities, specifies the vision, mission, and the role of the proposed New Working Group of City Needs Framework, and explains the approach which would be adopted, and the operating principles. This context has occurred after the intelligent movement, while the time right to conclude the framework that supporting policies and standardization have a positive effect on the urban growth. This document discussed the special structure of cities and reviewed the performance, creating the framework with methodology about smart cities requirements. The framework methodology help stakeholders (governments, private companies, universities and research institutions, and civil society and so on) across clearly when looking at the micro-foundations view. Helping governments and developers, understanding the rules well, finding the high-efficient way to achieve the goal, helping citizens could living better, the problems while could be solved, helping researchers could know the smart projects exploration.

IEC STRD 63320-2:2025 The purpose of this NP is to collect the use case of smart urban planning for smart cities, analyze the collected use cases of smart urban planning (categories analysis, functional analysis, stakeholder needs analysis, etc.), bring out the requirements of relevant standards of smart city in the future, and put forward relevant suggestions.

IEC SRD 63302-1:2025 provides use case collection and analysis, identifies the market relationships of relevant stakeholders, scopes out capabilities and a reference model of intelligent operations centre (IOC) for smart cities, and proposes the requirements for standards development in this field.
Digital solutions are accelerating the integration of real world applications in urban areas, including city governance, healthcare, environment, traffic, education, security and so on. However, many smart solutions are still implemented within single-domains. Isolated city services, data flows and data need integration. To be effective, the coordination of data and service requires an overarching framework coupled with an intelligent operations centre. The first step to identify solution options is by collecting and analysing relevant use cases.
IOC is tailored to provide urban managers, enterprises and citizens with access to operational and organized solutions. Based on city-level database and new technologies, such as big data, AI, cloud computing, blockchain etc., IOC processes city information and provides innovative services for urban managers, operators and other stakeholders. Compared with single-domain systems, IOC can better support monitoring and visualizing, decision making and cross-domain cooperation. IOC will play an important role in integrating city services such as police, health services traffic management and rescue services, including but not limited to the following methods.
a) The centralized operations dashboard and mobile application will allow real-time monitoring and information processing to improve response to emergencies.
b) The centralized and intelligent platform will enable noticeable improvements in the management of public safety, like crime prevention, emergency response, threat prevention and response, and traffic management.
c) The IOC's technologically advanced analysis, integrated communications, GPS and video surveillance capabilities will help residents and domain (energy, water, horticulture, waste and security) supervisors to collaborate in a smarter way.
d) The integrated data visualization, near real-time collaboration and deep analytics it provides will help agencies prepare for problems, coordinate and manage response efforts and enhance the efficiency of services,
e) IOC will enable residents to report issues such as broken street lights, electricity failure, water wastage, etc. and check resolution status using their mobile devices.
Currently, IOC solutions are being implemented in different cities around the world, and the stakeholders of these smart cities face similar challenges, including cross-domain cooperation, monitoring and visualizing, intelligent analysis, user-oriented experience, etc. The provision of standardization should be considered as one of key factors to support IOC development, including the development of the conceptual model, data exchange, IT infrastructures, services, and so on. This document focuses on collecting and analysing use cases from diversified areas, with the goal of developing consensus-based descriptions of IOC features and capabilities across all stakeholders, and uses this to scope out the standardization requirements related to the field of IOC.
This document is for use by authorities, solution providers, utilities, citizens, and other relevant stakeholders, to identify good practices regarding IOC, and how they can implement them.

IEC SRD 63301-1:2024 provides an overview of water systems in smart cities, establishes a general approach for use case collection and analysis, and identifies major stakeholders and application areas for high-level analysis of water systems.
The construction of a smart city can create benefits for a society and its stakeholders. Water is a critical resource to support urban development and its sustainable use is recognized as a UN Sustainable Development Goal. Water infrastructure development, water management efficiency, water supply resilience, and the safe operation and use of water are important focal areas for smart cities.
This document focuses on water systems management, specifically water security whether directly from a natural source or via man-made infrastructure. Information and communications technologies (ICT) and electro-technologies can provide greater visibility and control, however their application does depend on the characteristics of individual water markets. Technology is not a panacea for resolving all issues and problems.
A gap exists in effective coordination and clear orientation and how industry and stakeholders are engaged within it.
Major stakeholders of water management and use include citizens, the water authority (government), and organizations (associations, business groups, utility companies). Each stakeholder has different and competing interests, market relationships and touch points to water system infrastructure, processes, operations, management and use.
Modelling these complex interactions into a systems architecture is a valuable exercise in understanding the issues, gaps and opportunities for sustainable water management.
This document focuses on use case collection and analysis to elicit requirements to support technical committees in preparing sustainable water management standards for cities and communities.

The IEC SRD 63273 part 2: 2024 develops the list of user stories and the database of use cases, conducts integrative analyses of the use cases, scopes out the requirements of city information modelling standards and provides recommendations for IEC and other standards development organizations (SDOs) regarding urban planning and management using city information modelling.

IEC SRD 63320-1:2023 In recent years, research on the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and cities, focused on imagining the future of urban planning, has been one of the most interesting topics in the industry. Smart urban planning (SUP) for smart cities is a relatively new concept and has not received much attention around the world. The “smartness” of urban planning describes the intensive use of digital technologies to optimize the urban planning process. The concept of "smart city" has been implemented and developed all over the world. In order to construct a smart city successfully, knowing how to implement SUP for smart cities is essential, because it is the foundation of smart urban construction. However, at present, reaching a consensus on the overall architecture of standards of SUP for smart cities is still challenging.
This part of IEC SRD 63320 explains the definition, development goals and theoretical models of smart urban planning use case collection and analyses. This document identifies the key application areas of smart urban planning and determines the stakeholders and the relationships among them in the guidance of use case template.
