Smart Cities Are Built on
Biodigital Convergence Technologies and Standards

The very same international standards organizations guiding the development of Biodigital Convergence technologies are also guiding the development of Smart City technologies. More on who the international standards organizations are can be found on Who’s behind this agenda. The IEEE and IEC are the international standards organizations behind much of this.​

​

The IEEE and IEC design standards for the Biodigital Convergence. The IEEE and IEC also design standards for Smart City infrastructure.

Biodigital Convergence Standards:

Here is how the IEEE sets standards for the Biodigital Convergence. 

Here and here are how the IEC sets standards for the Biodigital Convergence. Also here. 

Smart City standards:

Here is how the IEEE sets standards for Smart City technologies:

• IEEE Standards for Smart Cities

• IEEE Smart Cities

• IEEE Smart Cities Initiative

• Networking architectures and protocols for smart city systems​

Here is how the IEC sets standards for Smart City technologies:

• IEC sets standards for Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and more, led by Francois Coallier

• IEC sets standards for Digital Twin, Biodigital Convergence, and more

• “Standards and Projects for the Metaverse”

• “Accessing the Metaverse”

• “Sports content is driving the metaverse”

• “Smart glasses for the metaverse”

​

By examining IEC reports and using the search bar on IEC’s website, it’s possible to see how virtually all municipalities use standards purchased from IEC related standards organizations. All the standards organizations work cooperatively and are interconnected. One of the standards organizations working close with IEC is NIST, and seems to be mostly responsible for Smart City infrastructure in the U.S.:

• Standards Set for Energy-Conserving LED Lighting

• NIST Smart Cities

• NIST Smart Cities and Communities, Cyber-physical Systems, and Internet of Things

• International Technical Working Group on IoT-Enabled Smart City Framework

• NIST is Requesting Public Input on Published Strategic Plan for Smart Cities Program​

Both the IEC and IEEE set standards for nanotechnology.

Here is how nanotechnology connects to Smart Cities:
