Full title and description

Information technology — Smart City ICT reference framework — Part 1: Smart city business process framework. This part defines a generic business-process framework oriented to smart-city–specific processes; it identifies (but does not detail) generic processes that are common with commercial organisations.

Abstract

ISO/IEC 30145-1:2021 specifies a high-level, technology-neutral business-process framework intended to help city planners, CIOs and ICT architects describe, align and plan smart‑city processes. It focuses on the smart‑city–specific processes (rather than all generic organisational processes) and is intended to sit within the broader Smart City ICT reference framework series.

Scope

This document provides a generic business-process framework that isolates smart‑city–specific processes (for example: city governance and service orchestration, cross‑domain process flows linking transport, utilities, public safety, health and environment, and city-level planning processes). It intentionally does not prescribe detailed commercial or enterprise business processes; instead it shows how smart‑city processes can be modelled, classified and related within an ICT reference framework to support interoperability, governance and lifecycle planning.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of smart‑city business processes (identification of smart‑city–specific vs. generic processes).
• Process viewpoints useful to city CIOs: strategic, operational and technical alignment.
• Relationships between cross‑domain city services and orchestration patterns for ICT platforms.
• Requirements for documentation, traceability and linkage to knowledge‑management and engineering components of the 30145 series.
• Guidance for mapping city roles, stakeholders and governance to processes to support interoperability and sustainable outcomes.

Typical use and users

Urban CIOs, city planners, systems architects, vendors of smart‑city platforms, integrators, standardisation bodies and researchers use this standard to (a) create a common process vocabulary for a city, (b) align ICT investments with city business flows, and (c) map cross‑domain services for interoperability and planning.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC 30145-1:2021 is Part 1 of the Smart City ICT reference framework series and specifies a generic business process framework tailored to smart‑city processes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the definition, classification and high‑level modelling of smart‑city business processes, including how those processes relate across city domains and to ICT platform concerns; it does not provide detailed enterprise process models for non‑city commercial activities.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: City CIOs and planners, ICT architects and vendors working on smart‑city platforms, systems integrators and standards practitioners use it to align strategy, governance and inter‑domain process orchestration.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As published in May 2021 this is the current first edition (status: published/active). Users should check national/ISO/IEC catalogues for any later amendments or revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO/IEC 30145 is a multi‑part Smart City ICT reference framework. Other parts (for example Part 2 and Part 3) cover knowledge management and engineering frameworks respectively and complement the business process guidance in Part 1.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Smart city, business process framework, ICT reference framework, interoperability, governance, service orchestration, city planning, sustainability.
