Full title and description

STB BS ISO 37153-2024 — Smart community infrastructures — Maturity model for assessment and improvement. This product listing refers to the ISO international standard (ISO 37153:2024, 2nd edition) and its national/adopted forms (e.g., BS ISO 37153:2024 and STB-labeled distributions used by some national catalogues/resellers).

Abstract

This document provides the basis, requirements and guidance for assessing the level of performance, process and interoperability of community infrastructure(s) using a Community Infrastructure Maturity Model (CIMM). It helps stakeholders identify gaps, set improvement targets and guide investment across infrastructure types (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT, and natural/green infrastructure) and across life‑cycle stages (planning, design, construction, operation, decommissioning).

Scope

ISO 37153:2024 establishes a maturity model and assessment framework (CIMM) to evaluate and improve the performance, processes and interoperability of community infrastructure. It is applicable to single or multiple types of infrastructure (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT and green/natural systems), to communities of any size or location, and across all relevant lifecycle stages from planning through decommissioning. The standard is intended to support measurement, benchmarking and investment decisions that enhance community outcomes and resilience.

Key topics and requirements

• Community Infrastructure Maturity Model (CIMM) — framework for assessing maturity levels and tracking improvement.
• Assessment criteria for performance, process and interoperability of infrastructure systems.
• Applicability across infrastructure types (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT, natural/green infrastructure).
• Guidance for stakeholders to identify gaps and set targets to guide investment and policy.
• Alignment with sustainable development and resilience objectives (contributes to SDG 11, 13 and related goals).

Typical use and users

Used by city and regional planners, infrastructure owners and operators, public authorities, urban/transport/environmental consultants, procurement teams, standards and policy-makers, and researchers to assess maturity, prioritise investments, compare options, and plan interventions that improve interoperability and community outcomes. National standards bodies and conformity assessment bodies may use the document when preparing national adoptions or guidance.

Related standards

ISO 37153 is part of the ISO Smart Community Infrastructure family. Related documents include standards and technical reports in the ISO 3715x / 3716x series addressing smart community frameworks, performance metrics, system-specific guidance and implementation practice (examples in the ISO Smart Community Infrastructure collection). National/adopted versions (BS, STB-labelled offerings from resellers) often appear alongside these related titles.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 37153:2024 is an international standard that provides a maturity model (CIMM) and guidance for assessing and improving community infrastructure performance, processes and interoperability. The listing title STB BS ISO 37153-2024 indicates the ISO standard and appears in some national/adopted or reseller catalogues under BS (British adoption) and STB (national catalogue labeling).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers a framework to assess maturity across infrastructure types (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT and green infrastructure), criteria for performance/process/interoperability, and guidance for setting improvement targets and guiding investment across the infrastructure life cycle.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: City planners, infrastructure owners/operators, municipal and regional authorities, consultants, policy-makers, procurement teams and researchers — anyone responsible for planning, managing or investing in community infrastructure and looking to benchmark and improve maturity and interoperability.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current. ISO 37153:2024 (2nd edition) was published in August 2024 and replaces ISO 37153:2017.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO smart community infrastructure family (ISO 3715x, 3716x series and related TRs) covering frameworks, specific infrastructure guidance and implementation support. Collections of related ISO smart community standards are offered together for practitioners.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Smart community, maturity model, CIMM, community infrastructure, interoperability, resilience, assessment, performance, sustainable cities.
