PAS 180:2014

This PAS defines terms for smart cities, including smart city concepts across different infrastructure and systems elements and used across all service delivery channels.

It covers information, processes, methodologies and applications.

This PAS is aimed at UK city leaders. It can also be helpful to leaders of communities other than at city-scale – including both smaller urban areas and larger regional-scale initiatives – and for city leaders outside the UK. However, the prime intended audience, for whom the guidance has been developed and tested, is UK city leaders, including:

1. policy developers in city authorities – both those responsible for the authority’s service design, commissioning and delivery role, and also those responsible for its community leadership role, in particular:

   • elected leaders;

   • senior executives of local authorities (including chief executives, chief information officers and directors of key departments);

   • senior executives of other public bodies with a city-wide remit;

2. other stakeholders interested in leading and shaping the city environment, including:

   • senior executives in the private sector who wish to partner with and assist cities in transformation of city systems to create shared value;

   • leaders from the voluntary sector organizations active within the city;

   • leaders in the higher and further educations sectors;

   • community innovators and representatives.
