Full title and description

ISO/TR 37152:2016 — Smart community infrastructures — Common framework for development and operation. This Technical Report provides a high‑level, common framework to support planning, development, operation and maintenance of community infrastructures so they function coherently as a “system of systems” within smart communities.

Abstract

ISO/TR 37152:2016 outlines a common framework for the lifecycle (concept, planning, development, operation, maintenance, redevelopment and feedback) of smart community infrastructures. The framework is intended to help harmonize individual infrastructure subsystems (for example energy, water, transportation, waste management and ICT), clarify functions and roles, enable orchestration between subsystems and support performance measurement using KPIs.

Scope

This Technical Report presents a framework for developing and operating smart community infrastructures so that multiple infrastructure types operate consistently and interoperably as parts of a wider community system. It covers lifecycle stages from conceptual design through planning, development, operation, maintenance and feedback, and applies to single infrastructures or combinations (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT and others). The framework addresses stakeholder perspectives, organizational arrangements, methods for analysis and design, documentation and the use of performance metrics.

Key topics and requirements

• Common framework for lifecycle management of community infrastructures (planning → operation → maintenance → feedback).
• Clarification and orchestration of subsystem functions so infrastructures work together as a “system of systems.”
• Stakeholder roles and responsibilities (planners, developers, operators, suppliers, community actors) and recommended organizational arrangements.
• Guidance on analyses, design methods and documentation to support harmonized development and operation.
• Incorporation of metrics and KPIs for performance measurement, monitoring and continuous improvement.

Typical use and users

Intended users include municipal planners, infrastructure developers, utility and service operators, system integrators, technology suppliers, policy makers and consultants involved in designing, implementing or operating smart community infrastructures. The report is used as a conceptual and organizational reference to align processes and responsibilities across infrastructure domains and to support KPI‑based evaluation.

Related standards

ISO/TR 37152 sits within ISO/TC 268’s work on sustainable communities and smart city topics and complements other ISO 371xx documents. Relevant related standards include ISO 37101 (management system for sustainable development in communities), ISO 37120 (indicators for city services and quality of life), ISO 37122/37123 (indicators for smart and resilient cities) and subsequent ISO documents addressing maturity models and assessment for smart community infrastructures (for example ISO 37153 on maturity assessment). These related standards provide management system requirements, indicator sets and assessment approaches that align with the framework in ISO/TR 37152.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TR 37152:2016 is a Technical Report that defines a common framework for the development and operation of smart community infrastructures to ensure consistent, orchestrated functioning of multiple infrastructure subsystems within a community.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers conceptual and practical elements of lifecycle management (from concept and planning through operation and maintenance), stakeholder roles, orchestration of subsystems (energy, water, transport, waste, ICT etc.), documentation practices and the use of KPIs to measure performance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Municipal planners, infrastructure developers, utility operators, system integrators, suppliers, consultants and policy makers implementing or coordinating smart community infrastructure projects.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO/TR 37152:2016 is published and remains a Technical Report (Edition 1, 2016). Users should check for later related standards or revisions in the ISO 371xx family (for example newer assessment and maturity documents published in subsequent years) to ensure they apply up‑to‑date guidance alongside this TR.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the body of ISO work on sustainable cities and communities (ISO 371xx series) developed under ISO/TC 268. It complements standards such as ISO 37101, ISO 37120, ISO 37122/37123 and related technical reports and assessment standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Smart community infrastructures, lifecycle framework, system of systems, orchestration, KPIs, planning, operation, maintenance, energy, water, transport, waste, ICT.
