This is part of IEC's lead-up to first World Smart City Forum — partnership between IEC, ISO, and International Telecommunication Union (ITU). ANSI will serve as supporting organization of said forum, which will be held July 13, 2016 in Singapore, and also supports smart cities through ANSI Network on Smart and Sustainable Cities (ANSSC).
