Smart Cities
Publications
As part of DIN’s Smart City activities, several publications have been produced in recent years that, among other things, list standardization needs and provide accompanying information on specific topics and standards.
The third impulse paper presents the results of the third series of workshops on the topic of “Smart City”, specifically on the topics of „Digital systems for climate-neutral communities“ and „Data in the community”. Following the two workshops, representatives from municipalities, industry, science, and leading municipal associations presented the current status of the respective topics and formulated concrete recommendations for action and needs for standardization. In addition, the impulse paper summarises the discussions and findings of the DIN DKE Innovation Conference 2022 themed “The green and digital transformation of communities” focussing on the topics of climate change, resilience and the circular economy in the community and identifies various needs for standardization in this field. The original impulse paper is only available in German, but a summary is also available in English. | |
The second impulse paper summarizes the results of the second workshop series on the topic of “Smart City”, specifically on the topics of „Digitization under exceptional conditions“, „Securing the future of cities and communities through sustainability and circular economy,” and “Resilience in cities and communities”. In the follow-up to the three workshops, representatives from municipalities, industry, science and leading municipal associations presented the current status of the respective topics and formulated concrete recommendations for action and standardization needs. The original impulse paper is only available in German, but a summary is also available in English. | |
