[Urbanstudy] BIS releases standard for smart city indicators

[srinivas kodali]

Bureau of Indian Standards has released a draft smart cities standard and
is inviting comments for changes.

http://www.bis.org.in/sf/ced/CED59(10000)_30092016.pdf

It adopts the ISO 37120:2014 which was released 2 years ago. Incidentally
the main ISO standard evolved from a global partnership for city indicators
http://www.cityindicators.org/ and Bangalore was already part of this
effort. Technically bangalore has adopted the standard already.

The draft has some good indicators like crimes against women, employment,
but has its limitations too. In transport there are no indicators for
walking like sidewalks, zebra crossing. Hope some of you send your comments
and stress on various important issues of cities.
