International Registry of Certified Cities and Communities
ISO 37101
The Excellence Framework for Sustainable Cities and Communities
Urban Communities
As communities pursue the aims of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, they are generally seeking to implement systems and tools to effectively manage these efforts. The ISO 37101 family of standards provides the guidance necessary to define and systematically implement policies, procedures and projects necessary for smart and resilient sustainable development.



The Registry
In support of the above, the International Registry of Certified Cities and Communities (IRCCC) has been established to define and facilitate the effective implementation of the necessary international conformity assessment framework that is required for the cities to achieve their Sustainable Development objectives.

Managed by the Smart Planet Association (SPA), the International Registry of Certified Cities and Communities (IRCCCC) shall recognize those communities that are committed to:
- Managing sustainability and fostering smartness and resilience in our city/community, while considering our territorial boundaries;
- Improving the contribution of our city/community to sustainable development outcomes;
- Assessing the performance of our city/community in progressing towards sustainable development outcomes and the level of smartness and of resilience that they have achieved;
- Fulfilling the compliance obligations that apply to our city/community.
