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:
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
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.:
-
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:
Paul Stannard, Chairman of The World Nano Foundation at Davos talks about this topic here:
“Nanotechnology's impact on the smart cities of the future”
How nanotechnology can benefit smart cities
The World Economic Forum (WEF) presents a clear example of the connection between Biodigital Convergence technologies and Smart Cities:
“This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.”
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, by Klaus Schwab (WEF)

Other examples of Smart City technologies connecting to the Biodigital Convergence technologies:
Integration of Blockchain in WBAN (IEEE)
See information relating to this from the preceding page here: Quantum Blockchain Technologies.
“The aim of this white paper is to highlight the impact of wireless wearable multimodal recording [Wireless Body Area Network/ WBAN] in healthcare, reviewing the most important applications in today's smart cities.”

Key Enablers of IoT Strategies in The Context of Smart City Innovation
It is not necessary to become an expert in all these technologies to understand this one simple and important point: the people behind human augmentation technologies known as the Biodigital Convergence are the same people behind Smart Cities technologies.
There are a lot of dots to connect. Once we are able to connect them, we can then begin disconnecting them. That is the aim and title of this website, which brings us to the next section: “What You Can Do” to disconnect the dots.
