INTRODUCTION
In recent years, research about relationship between information and communication
technology (ICT) and cities, focused on imagining the future of urban planning, has been one
of the most interesting topics in the industry. The concept of smart urban planning (SUP) has
indeed gradually emerged with the development of smart cities. The "smartness" of urban
planning describes the intensive use of digital technologies to optimize the urban planning
process. The concept of "smart city" has been implemented and developed all over the world.
In order to construct a smart city successfully, knowing how to implement SUP for smart cities
is essential, because SUP for smart cities is the foundation of smart urban construction.
However, at present, reaching a consensus on the overall architecture of standards of SUP for
smart cities is still challenging. The direction and user requirements of standards development
is not clear, which affects the development and application effectiveness of international
standards of SUP for smart cities.
Aiming at addressing the above problems, a systems approach to collect and analyse SUP for
smart cities use cases is put forward. The purpose of this document is to collect SUP for smart
cities use cases globally, to sort out the current situation of SUP for smart cities both
domestically and internationally, including methods, framework, ideas, and GAPS model, and
to analyse the needs of SUP for smart cities work and its stakeholders.
Understanding the use cases makes it easier to describe SUP for smart cities clusters and
highlight use cases' commonalities. All use cases that are selected have actual legitimacy.
Planning requirements are extracted from the use cases, and recommendations are given for
future standardization items related to SUP for smart cities. Collecting the use cases provides
SUP for smart cities to validate the SUP for smart cities reference model and reference
architecture.
The target users and practitioners for this document include the following stakeholders who
have interest in SUP for smart cities:
1) smart city planners and service providers, who can learn about SUP for smart cities needs
and how to implement the ideas;
2) government agencies and heads, who can use SUP for smart cities and implement in future
works;
3) citizens that want to have a better understanding of SUP for smart cities;
4) SUP for smart cities operators who shall understand the requirements;
5) regulators who are responsible for developing and managing SUP for smart cities and
related regulations.
The IEC SRD 63320 series contains two parts:
• IEC SRD 63320-1 which gives a high level analysis;
• IEC SRD 63320-2 which gives a use case analysis.

4 Approach for use case collection and analysis
The IEC SRD 63320 series adopts a top-down approach to generate and collect the use case
of smart urban planning, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Approach for use case collection and analysis
Firstly, a thorough study of smart urban planning is necessary at the beginning of use case
collection and analysis. The purposes of the work of SUP high-level system study include
identifying sub-systems, identifying basic stakeholder needs, and developing a SUP use case
template for sub-system based on IEC TR 62559-1 and IEC 62559-2.
Secondly, generate and collect a list of use case about smart urban planning following the use
case template. Develop a list of significant user stories based on the collected use case. In
each corresponding area, one user story is generated for one specific stakeholder. Each user
story follows the same template, which includes one stakeholder (as a specific type of user), a
specific situation (when), a goal (I want to), and a reason (so that).
Thirdly, break down each element of the use case, including stakeholders, user stories, etc.,
and establish the use case database of smart urban planning.
Lastly, conduct an integrative analysis based on the high-level use case database, and identify
the standard gaps for smart urban planning and requirements a family of smart urban planning
standards.
This document focuses on the third and fourth steps of the work approach.
5 Use case databases construction
5.1 General
Smart urban planning refers to a digital and intelligent urban planning system, in which
advanced technologies are applied in all aspects, from pre-planning phase, planning phase and
post-planning phase. Specifically, this document addressed the application area of:
1) planning tool inventory,
2) stakeholder identification,
3) urban data collection,
4) urban data analysis and interpretation,
5) parametric planning,
6) strategy analysis and comparison,
7) present for review,
8) approve and publish,
9) planning conditions formulation,
– 10 – IEC SRD 63320-2:2025 © IEC 2025
10) supervise implementation, and
11) dynamic monitoring.
Based on each of these application areas, we analysed the involved human actors and non-
human actors. With reference to the urban planning process, we studied their possible decisions
and actions, and the rationale behind. In Clause 5, we will first analyse the use cases for each
application area to derive the related stakeholders with their user stories. The user stories focus
on a statement explaining what the stakeholders are supposed to do, and what they need, under
what kinds of certain circumstances. The structure is "as a" (title), "when I am" (situation), "I
need to" (motivation), "so that" (outcome), allowing for a better integration of each stakeholder's
motivation into a specific scenario for each use case, thus analysing their roles and thus
understanding the mechanics of SUP's operation.
Considering the non-human actors that are interacting with the functioning of each application
area, we observed the application of smart urban planning systems in them, which rely on the
collaboration of multiple non-human actors, so that we continue to examine the use cases
discussed above and summarise the non-human actors involved in each application areas,
outlining their functional requirements and non-functional requirements. The tool requirement
will centre on a statement explaining what the non-human actors are supposed to do, and what
kind of achievement it should strike, with what kind of requirement it should satisfy. The
structure is "When the" (title and situation), "it should" (function requirement), "so that it can"
(outcome). The detail is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 – Approach to database construction
Table 1 shows the dataset of use case analysis: covering the 11 application areas mentioned
above, a total of 47 use cases were collected and then summarised into 81 human actors, 153
user stories, 39 non-human actors and 86 tool requirements.
The five database details on use cases, human actors, user stories, non-human actors, and
tool requirements are in Annex A.

5.2 Planning tool inventory
Smart urban planning platform is a digital platform, a tool which is the key to construction of
smart city and the basic support for the pre-process of urban planning. It can realise the
integration and sharing of various information services including government data, industry data
or private sources, provide dedicated analysis tools needed for planning strategies, and enable
urban planning publicity, inquiry, information release and information feedback from the citizens
and to the public. With quick access to urban information, planners can coordinate better with
relevant agencies to facilitate integrated planning.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, planning tool inventory
consists of 6 use cases, seen in Annex A:
1) daily maintenance and development of the planning repository (UC-01);
2) daily supervision of the planning inventory (UC-02);
3) sharing of mass urban data (UC-03);
4) access to urban analytical models (UC-04);
5) access to the urban planning toolbox (UC-05);
6) customised development of urban planning tools(UC-06).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), planning tool inventory involves 11 stakeholders, who
are city operations official (HA-01), government official (HA-02), urban public sector and official
(HA-05), internet platform company (HA-10), artificial intelligence company (HA-11),
construction industry(HA-16), data engineer (HA-18), software engineer (HA-19), engineer of

Figure 3 – Element map of planning tool inventory
5.3 Stakeholder identification
The application of stakeholder identification to the smart urban planning (SUP) aims to make
appropriate decisions on urban planning by identifying the stakeholders' interests, domain,
specificity and concerns, as well as managing the relationships, communication and conflicts
between stakeholders; introduce useful stakeholder identification methods to help planning
project teams have a clearer idea about the structure of information among the stakeholders,
and to help them identify which stakeholders or groups of stakeholders should be engaged
more; and establish a transparent platform or channel supporting communication, collaboration
and interaction to ensures that the project team can work from a range of locations to enter
information about specific engagement activities and stakeholders based on identified
stakeholders.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, stakeholder identification
consists of 7 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely management and maintaining of urban data
repository (UC-07); customised data analysis (UC-08); city data and stakeholder information
provision (UC-09); urban and regional data analysis tool provision (UC-10); inputting 2D and
3D data based on planning intentions (UC-11); potential stakeholder identification (UC-12);
visualization of urban data presentation (UC-13).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), stakeholder identification involves 9 stakeholders, who
are government official (HA-02), urban platform authorities (HA-03), urban planning decision
maker (HA-04), investor (HA-12), business owner (HA-13), real estate developer (HA-14), data
engineer (HA-18), urban planner (HA-21) and citizen (HA-27). In addition, 15 user stories are
sorted out around them.
In terms of smart tools (non-human actors), stakeholder identification involves 3 tools, which
are urban data resource platform, urban data tool platform (NHA-01) and 3D visualization
platform (NHA-04). In addition, 6 tool requirements are sorted out around them.
The relationships between the above elements are mapped to illustrate the interactions of
various human and non-human actors (Figure 4). The diagram connects their user stories and
requirements to better understand their motivations and roles.
Figure 4 – Element map of stakeholder identification
5.4 Urban information collection
The application of urban information collection to the smart urban planning (SUP) aims to collect,
collate, story, clean different types of primary or secondary data and invoke them in order,
including demographic, geographic, economic, social, transportation and other relevant data;
obtain primary information through field surveys, interviews with stakeholders, etc.; obtain
secondary information by contacting relevant authorities such as the government statistics
department, planning bureau, land bureau, private companies, etc.; collect not only traditional
government data, but relevant crowdsourcing data, Internet data, cell phone signalling, etc. as
well; exchange and share information among different departments; and make quality check of
the collected data to ensure the authenticity and availability.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, urban information collection
consists of 4 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely collection and entry of interview data (UC-14);
bulk access of data from data platforms and IoT data collection (UC-15); cleaning of urban data
(UC-16); bulk access of public data (UC-17).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), urban information collection involves 10 stakeholders,

Figure 5 – Element map of urban information collection
5.5 Urban data analysis and interpretation
Urban data analysis and interpretation involve the collection, modelling, and analysis of data to
extract insights that support data-driven decision-making, enabling governments to enhance
overall performance. In smart urban planning, urban analysis encompasses various approaches,
methods, and procedures that aid in our understanding of cities and urban life. It also supports
public and civic leaders in their efforts to build smart, sustainable, and inclusive cities. From
the planning repository where multi-technologies are employed, data regarding urban planning
are input to data analysis platform, where technologies such as big data analysis, simulation
modelling and analysis, and multi-source heterogeneous data fusion are utilised. These
technologies aim to overcome the limitations of traditional urban analysis, which often suffer
from inconsistencies, limited quantification, and limited data resources.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, urban data analysis and
interpretation consists of 4 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely provide analysis tools for further
urban analysis (UC-18); provide analytical results to city operations departments (UC-19);
provide and displaying analytical results to planning departments (UC-20); provide analytical
results to investors (UC-21).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), urban data analysis and interpretation involves 7
stakeholders, who are urban public sector and official (HA-05), statistical department (HA-07),
business owner (HA-13), real estate developer (HA-14), data engineer (HA-18), urban planner
(HA-21) and academic researcher (HA-24). In addition, 13 user stories are sorted out around
them.
In terms of smart tools (non-human actors), urban data analysis and interpretation involves 2
tools, which are urban planning repository, data analysis platform (NHA-05). In addition, 8 tool
requirements are sorted out around them.
The relationships between the above elements are mapped to illustrate the interactions of
various human and non-human actors (Figure 6). The diagram connects their user stories and
requirements to better understand their motivations and roles.
Figure 6 – Element map of urban data analysis and interpretation
5.6 Parametric planning
By utilising modelling technology, parametric algorithms, and deep learning, parametric
planning facilitates quick and simplified generation of planning schemes. It combines computer
and software with urban design, providing practicality and potential for addressing complex city
systems. With the incorporation of deep learning technology, simulation and modelling
technology, and parametric modelling technology, parametric planning brings efficiency and a
fresh perspective to planners. This enables them to design cities in a more anticipatory and
adaptable manner, where urban planner just input parameters they need.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, parametric planning consists
of 3 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely automatically generate planning scheme through
parametric design (UC-22); display planning scheme and collect feedback from all parties for
scheme optimization (UC-23); operation and maintenance of the database and platform (UC-24).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), parametric planning involves 4 stakeholders, who are
urban planning bureau (HA-08), data engineer (HA-18), urban planner (HA-21) and academic
researcher (HA-24). In addition, 13 user stories are sorted out around them.
In terms of smart tools (non-human actors), parametric planning involves 2 tools, which are
urban planning repository (NHA-05); parametric software (NHA-07). In addition, 6 tool
requirements are sorted out around them.
The relationships between the above elements are mapped to illustrate the interactions of
various human and non-human actors (Figure 7). The diagram connects their user stories and
requirements to better understand their motivations and roles.

5.7 Strategy analysis and comparison
The analysis and comparison of strategies or proposals serve as smart assistants to explore
the positive or negative effects of different planning schemes and evaluate planning options
during the initial development of potential planning schemes. With the aid of simulation and
modelling technology, as well as virtual reality technology, the simulation analysis platform and
the planning repository can more efficiently integrate knowledge from the planning domain and
generative adversarial networks. Additionally, it provides advanced visualization techniques
that assist urban planners in comparing different schemes and assessing their potential impact.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, strategy analysis and
comparison consists of 4 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely simulate micro urban elements
to reflect any possible impacts of different planning strategies (UC-25); operation and
maintenance of the database and platform (UC-26); analyse possible impacts of different
planning strategies and do comparative analysis among them from multi perspective (UC-27);
formulate the optimal planning strategy by collecting views from all parties and make
modifications (UC-28).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), strategy analysis and comparison involve 8
stakeholders, who are government official (HA-02), urban planning bureau (HA-08), investor
(HA-12), real estate developer (HA-14), data engineer (HA-18), urban planner (HA-21),
academic researcher (HA-24) and construction practitioner (HA-25). In addition, 14 user stories
are sorted out around them.
In terms of smart tools (non-human actors), strategy analysis and comparison involve 4 tools,
which are urban planning repository (NHA-05); urban regional repository (NHA-10); simulation
analysis platform (NHA-08); 3D visualization platform (NHA-04). In addition, 11 tool
requirements are sorted out around them.
The relationships between the above elements are mapped to illustrate the interactions of
various human and non-human actors (Figure 8). The diagram connects their user stories and
requirements to better understand their motivations and roles.

5.8 Present for review
The present review sector in urban planning projects involves considering the impact on the
surrounding environment and the capacity of municipal infrastructure, as well as soliciting
feedback from officials and the public during the planning review stage. Potential technologies
for the review sector include 3D model index comparison techniques, which aid in data analysis
and understanding, and visual presentation and interaction techniques such as virtual reality
(VR) and augmented reality (AR), enhancing citizen's understanding. Those technologies are
employed inside the city information model platform and the urban planning result database.
Automated review is generated with the processing of the platform and the planning results
uploaded by urban planner, which can address potential errors in manual approval, the
complexity of reviewing large amounts of planning data, ensure alignment with existing
infrastructure, and improve public understanding of planning blueprints.
Based on collation and analysis in perspective of use case level, present for review consists of
4 use cases, seen in Annex A, namely build the automated planning approval system of urban
planning (UC-29); automated review of the consistency of planning schemes and specifications
(UC-30); finalize the planning scheme and manage the data generated throughout the process
(UC-31); operation and maintenance of the database and platform (UC-32).
In terms of stakeholders (human actors), present for review involves 5 stakeholders, who are
urban planning decision maker (HA-04), urban planning bureau (HA-08), data engineer (HA-
18), academic researcher (HA-24) and citizen (HA-27). In addition, 14 user stories are sorted
out around them.
In terms of smart tools (non-human actors), present for review involves 3 too
