• Adopting ICT in order to enhance livability, workability and sustainability (Smart Cities Council, 2013).

• A city where the conditions of all its critical infrastructures are monitored and integrated (US Office of Scientific and Technical Information).

• An instrumented, interconnected and intelligent city (IBM, 2010).

• A city seeking to address public issues via ICT-based solutions on the basis of multi-stakeholder and municipality-based partnership (European Parliament, 2014).

• A city that links physical capitals with social one in order to enhance the quality of services (Corriea and Wunstel, 2011).

• Integrating the physical, IT, social and business infrastructures into a single framework so as to leverage the collective intelligence of a city (Harrison et al., 2010).

• Automating routine functions as well as monitoring and planning the city to improve the efficiency, equity and quality of life for its citizens (Batty et al., 2012).

The Snapshot

• Aim: to provide information about what stage councils are at with regards to smart cities activities.

• Report objective: to provide a starting point for Local Councils to develop strategies to improve and benefit from other smart city projects.

• Method: Contact as many of the MLGG as possible to collect information through surveys and interviews, collecting secondary data through scanning council on-line materials, news resources, and other websites.

Potential Collaboration projects

• There are a number of areas where collaboration between councils could be fruitful.

• These will be detailed in the final report but include: • Asset Management • Smart Parking • Smart Parks • Growth Modelling

University of Adelaide 30

Deeper Themes – the Interviews

• In terms of Smart Cities themselves, the two major themes dominating this topic were:

• Awareness, Culture, and Attitude (including the need for education on these) • Finding or having an appropriate Starting Place for developing as a Smart City

• With a third theme: • The need for a common / agreed-upon Definition

• The starting place is essential but a positive culture was vital.

University of Adelaide 31

Leadership

• Executive leadership and senior management are essential. • Councils who have advanced in their journey speak of sponsorship,

support, or vision. • The absence of this is seen as an impeding factor.

University of Adelaide 32

What drives a Smart City initiative?

• Two most important: • Wanting a broader understanding • Saving money and resources

• Greatest impediments to achieving an initiative: • Lacking agility and the ability to keep up with technology • Insufficient human resources • Budget constraints

University of Adelaide 33

Collaboration is seen as essential

• That is: • Between councils • With the University • With citizens

University of Adelaide 34

Ways to make initiatives work better:

• Embed them in daily practice • Use them to make better decisions, making them work for council

and citizen • Improve operations as well as visible outcomes • Enhance connectivity • Think about the future • Carry out benchmarking • Look around for what is going on in the sector locally, internationally,

and in the standards.

University of Adelaide 35

Policy Considerations

• Common grounds for data collection and measurement (homogenisation of data). Sharing information – lessons learn/dashboard

• Creation of working groups (industry, academia and government) to facilitate smart city projects / Increase innovation process through idea cross-fertilisation

• Identify South Australian strengths in order to become a leader in smart city projects around the world. Creation of a South Australian Smart City Strategy.

• Share resources to increase smart city project performance (economies of scale and scope)
