Sustainable cities and communities — Urban settlements — Guidance for a flexible approach to phased implementation of ISO 37101

This document provides guidance for a more flexible implementation of ISO 37101. This can be appropriate for smaller urban settlements or those dominated by a specialised function. Others can be starting on their journey of maturing sustainability from a very low-level base, or aim to explore sustainable development in a gradual, phased way due to limited resources. Some will want to rapidly initiate action that will have an immediate impact to demonstrate value and stimulate wider support. It provides practical toolkits to achieve implementation (e.g. policies and economic incentives, technical tools, and self-assessment checklists). This document applies to urban settlements of any composition and type.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. W

Introduction
ISO 37101 establishes a management system for the sustainable development of cities and communities. It is
applicable to urban settlements of any size and characteristicIt aims to be applicable to all urban settlements
of any size and characteristics. However, it is considered that the context, size and characteristics of certain
urban settlements is sufficiently different for there to be a need for additional guidance to facilitate a more
flexible and appropriate implementation of ISO 37101. This document provides relevant guidance, tools and
methodologies to allow for these specific circumstances and, more generally, to also facilitate the initial stages
of sustainable development, or a planned phased implementation, of ISO 37101, where this is needed.
However, it is perceived that the context of urban settlements has specificities and characteristics for which it
is useful to provide additional guidance for their implementation. In this way, this document provides
guidance, tools and methods to carry
