Hitachi's vision for the Smart Sustainable City seeks to achieve concern for the global environment and lifestyle safety and convenience through the coordination of infrastructure. Smart Sustainable Cities realized through the coordination of infrastructures consist of two infrastructure layers that support consumers' lifestyles together with the urban management infrastructure that links these together using IT.

FG-SSC Agreed Definition of a Smart Sustainable City

Agreed definition of SSC:

“A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses information and communication technologies (ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects.”



Objective To give municipalities and interested stakeholders a general overview to apply SSC concepts to their cities;

To present a guide for the implementation of SSC based on an intensive use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies).

Scope It is intended to be as general and inclusive as possible, so it can be of used by any city in the world whether its size or location, both in developed and developing countries;

The concepts and definitions presented in this document are in alignment with the rest of technical reports produced by the FG SSC.

Highlights Includes the definition, attributes and technical specifications for a SSC;

Proposes a vision for SSC implementation.

Important dates

Approval to be sought in December 2014
