Developing a smart strategy
To support the use of smart technologies in your place, you should consider:
- developing a smart place strategy, vision, and/or action plan
- including the role of smart technologies in your place strategies and plans
- conducting an assessment of the current state using the Smart Places Maturity Assessment Framework.
This can help you to document problem and outcome statements, and consider the role of smart solutions in addressing them.
Consider referring to the relevant standard ISO 37101:2016 Sustainable development in communities to help you at this stage. This standard provides an overall framework for defining sustainable development. Read more about standards and smart places.
