Separate Services into Those That Deliver Direct Benefit and Those That Are
Enablers
The 16 services can be divided into those that deliver direct value and benefits
and those that act as enablers to allow the other services to deliver the value.
This does not suggest that the enabling services have no value; rather it indi-
cates that their value is closely related to the support of the other services.

Describe Assumed Configurations for Direct Benefit Services
While detailed designs are not available when considering a generic smart city,
it is necessary to describe the high-level configurations that are assumed for
cost and benefit estimation purposes. These can be likened to high-level system
architectures that describe the overall components and explain the basis for the
benefits and cost estimates.
