WELCOME TO BARCELONA

WELCOME TO citisense

As Mayor of Barcelona, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our city on the occa-

sion of the World Bank CitiSense 2013 Conference.

Barcelona is a city of culture, knowledge, creativity and innovation. As the

Mobile World Capital and a Smart City of reference around the world, we are

becoming an important start-up and technological hub in the south of Europe

and the Mediterranean.

This is an on-going process that we are building with the collaboration of public

institutions, private companies and international organizations, like the World

Bank, which help us to lead a global reference model for sustainable urban de-

velopment and the improvement of people’s wellbeing and quality of life.

I very much hope that your stay in Barcelona allows you to get to know better

all the attractions that have turned our city into one of the most visited in the

world: the Gothic quarter and the beautiful buildings of Modernism, the muse-

ums and the festivals, and a popular and creative gastronomy.

I wish you a very fruitful congress and hope that you also enjoy your stay in

Barcelona.

Xavier Trias

Mayor of Barcelona

Dear partners,

On behalf of the World Bank Group, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the

CitiSense conference.

Cities are where development challenges and solutions meet. 6.2 billion people

– or two thirds of the world’s population – will be living in cities by 2050. Cities

hold the key to tackling climate change. They account for about two-thirds of

the world’s energy consumption and about 70 percent of greenhouse gas emis-

sions. More and more people and assets in cities will be exposed to the forces of

nature, with potentially devastating consequences. Global economic costs from

flooding in cities could increase to up to $1 trillion a year.

Our increasingly urban world requires the latest thinking, innovative approach-

es, and ongoing collaboration. At this conference, together with our partners,

we’ve designed sessions to inspire new ideas and present concrete actions to

make cities hubs of innovation and prosperity which create opportunities for a

better life while fighting climate change.

The World Bank Group is actively working with cities to help them manage the

challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change. The Low-Carbon Liv-

able Cities (LC2) Initiative, launched in September by President Jim Yong Kim,

offers cities a suite of tailored tools and activities ranging from greenhouse gas

inventories and assessments to low-carbon investment planning and financing

solutions. As part of our efforts to help cities set themselves on a low-carbon

development path, at CitiSense we will announce the City Energy Efficiency

Transformation Initiative, which will help cities integrate energy efficiency into

their strategic planning, and find new opportunities to save money, improve

services, and reduce emissions.

CitiSense will also focus on cities as “co-creation platforms”, or enabling ecosys-

tems that foster better conditions for catalyzing innovation, experimenting with

urban technologies, and delivering public services collaboratively.

CitiSense is designed with you, and your cities’ needs, in mind. You are encour-

aged to interact with speakers, with representatives of the World Bank and our

partners, and, most importantly, with each other to forge meaningful engage-

ments moving forward.

Thank you for joining us in Barcelona. I hope that this marks the beginning of a

new stage in our collaboration, as we work together to build smarter and more

sustainable cities.

With best regards,

Rachel Kyte

How can technologies create a platform for innovation and improved service delivery in governments? This presentation highlights the latest thinking in leveraging

technologies for urban innovation.

How can we encourage re-use of civic technologies? Code For Europe demonstrates how a global applications marketplace can help cities capture, share, and re-purpose

proven technologies to improve service delivery.

As the 8th largest global urbaneconomy, Mexico City has the necessary infrastructure to generate important experiments and become a city capable of prototyping, testing and implementing ideas that can later be exported to other cities. It is within this con-

text that the Laboratorio para la Ciudad (Lab for the City) is born.

How can we leverage principles of open innovation - such as collaboration, co-creation, and citizen-centricity - to catalyze and implement new ideas? This presentation ex-

plores how we can foster inclusive and organic ecosystems to spur innovation in cities.

Building from his latest book “Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia”, Anthony Townsend will discuss how inclusivity and information-driven

decisions can guide cities of the future.

How we can use data to make it easier for cities and individual consumers to choose energy efficient products and services, and promote renewables on the grid.

What would happen if citizens were owners of their own data? This presentation dreams of intelligent citizens who can make their own decisions in an ideal world where small data permits the automization of personal processes and augments liberties.

The built environment constitutes a fundamental part of our lives and communities. In recent years, there has been a rising demand for energy efficient and environmen-tally sound buildings evolving from the debate on how to combat climate change. Lars Ostenfeld Riemann will outline some of the recent innovations in this field.

Open innovation is becoming the standard framework for understanding and mobiliz-ing innovation in companies. However, open innovation left companies and is driving change also in cities and in general the public sector. Not only the typical innovators but also citizens are the protagonists of this change.

Sergio will help us learn about the importance of visualization and how through it, citizens have helped to achieve great milestones such as the discovery of planets or weather forecasts. Intelligent citizens are also able to create public value, including in areas in which the governments cannot.

How can we leverage technologies to empower citizens and organizations in their cities? Jorge Soto will discuss tools and initiatives that close feedback loops between governments and their citizens in order to increase transparency and efficiency.

The implementation of energy efficiency has been far short of the potential due to a number of barriers, including those related to financing energy efficiency projects. This session will look at international experience on financing energy efficiency and present examples from different institutions.

This session is a moderated discussion on the financing barriers that need to be ad-dressed for investment decisions (e.g., transaction costs, collateral and bundling/size of project), what may be the key considerations and lessons to address the key pitfalls and risks and ensure success.

This panel will review global best practices for cities to improve services, reduce costs, and leave greener footprints using innovative energy efficiency programs.

• Efficient Mobility Solutions

Graduated and postgraduated in economics at the Federal University of Rio (UFRJ) with a Master’s Degree in Applied Politics from the FIIAPP in Madrid and a Master in Economics from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF), Pedro Paulo began his public service in the early 1990s working with Eduardo Paes. Since then, he has become the head of the city’s borough of the West Zone, Secretary for the Environ-ment and member of the State Assembly. After coordinating Paes’ election campaign in 2008, Pedro Paulo was chosen to be the City Hall’s Chief of Staff. As such, he has been responsible for the implementation of the high performance management structure – the first step of which was the design of a Strategic Plan that establishes priorities and short and long-term goals for all different areas of the municipality, such as health, education and transport. All public work-ers that match their annual goals receive a bonus. This kind if management assures the greatest possible efficiency for the public service and has led to a huge number of successful projects, such as the Rio Operations Centre, the construction of the BRT TransOeste, the creation of the 1746 Hotline and the revitalisation of the port area.

co-creating citiesAn Open Innovation Approach to Tackle the Urbanization Challenge

For the first time in history more than half of the world’s popula-tion lives in cities. Over 90 percent of urban growth takes place in the developing world, adding an estimated 70 million new resi-dents to urban areas each year. Demand for services in urban areas is therefore increasing exponentially, which is posing a grave chal-lenge for city governments. Cities face a conundrum of growing demand for more and better services with fewer resources.

The solution to this conundrum comes in part through technology. Cities are turning to technology to improve the management and provision of city services. However, technology by itself is not a panacea for city problems. Open innovation approaches can help apply, enhance and compliment the impact of technologies t by engaging citizens—the users of city services--to be an active part of the solutions to these problems, to help improve city services, and become change agents in their own communities. Citizens are essential to manage city neighborhoods: they have a better under-standing of their communities’ needs, and aspire to have an active say in the solutions to the problems that directly affect them in their daily lives. This type of citizen engagement can be achieved with cost-efficient tools: using readily available technologies, such as mobile phones, together with open source solutions. By combining the citizens’ will and energy with cost-effective technologies, city governments can provide more and better services while incurring less cost.

The World Bank ICT Sector Practice is proposing a framework to help cities in emerging economies implement this this type of open innovation approach. The Co-Creation for Cities framework looks at the city as an ecosystem, whereby city government, private sector, universities and cit-izens collaborate to develop and implement better and more efficient city services. This framework follows a five step process:

City services can be improved by using simple open source technology solutions. However, these solutions need to be tailored to the specific city problems and targeted users, and made available to city officials in the form of a public good. Most local government officials do not have the time or the resources to review and access these open source solutions. To solve these problems and introduce cost-effective technology tools at city-level, the World Bank team works closely with city officials to ideate solutions that would have a tangible and real impact for the city, through interactive and dynamic workshops. This ideation process takes a practical approach through hands-on group iteration exercises and exposes city officials to rel-evant examples from other cities that can be adapted to achieve real impact in their cities. The outcome of this process is a number of key technology solutions that solve real problems and enhance existing city service deliv-ery; and increased capacity and know-how for city officials to replicate this process for other city service needs.

The use of technology solutions can improve individual city services, but a comprehensive utilization of these tools will require the use of basic platforms and infrastructure to limit silos and allow for data sharing and common interfaces. Such support infrastructure can be a major investment for the city. With the development of an organic roadmap that incorporates all city service needs, required investment can be sequenced and bring maximum results. To develop this organic roadmap, the World Bank works with city officials to support them in setting a future aspirational goal of technology implementation in city management and service delivery. To do this foresight exercise, the Bank will first partner with cities where the state of technology development is fairly advanced. Once the future goal is established and the appropriate technology scenario is developed for city management and services, the World Bank together with city officials creates the roadmap. The roadmap will provide a plan to evolve city infra-structure and platforms (incorporating open data requirements for co-cre-ation of solutions) , which will adapt investments to city needs and budget

constraints. This road map provides a reference guide that can be adapted as the city evolves in the application of an increasing number of technology solutions.

Technology tools can help improve city services by directly engaging cit-izens and other city stakeholders to be part of the solution, and, with the Internet of things and citizens as sensors, provide close to real time data for more informed decision making. Beyond city governments and citizens, such technology tools and service delivery solutions will be open to all city stakeholders that show interest and commitment in solving the city’s prob-lems. Through open innovation competitions, such as hackathons or app challenges, the city can bring together unusual partners—city government, universities, civil society and community of local developers--to co-create solutions, leveraging technology tools, and together solve challenges their cities face. The World Bank works with the city government and stake-holders to design such an open innovation process, adapted to the local circumstances to harness the greatest impact. This process aims to spark the creation of a community of innovation to solve city-level problems. To build on the momentum that the co-creation process generates, there

is a need for a space, an Urban Innovation Lab, that facilitates the ongoing interaction between all stakeholders; a space where new ideas and solu-tions can be tested in a fail-safe environment. The Urban Innovation Lab serves as an anchor of open innovation for city stakeholders, led by the city government. This Lab can host the rapid prototyping process, through a co-working space, and offer practical training and advisory based on living lab and urban lab methodologies. The Lab would sustain dynamic open innovation between all city stakeholders and serve as a test bed for local innovation. The World Bank partners with experts from leading urban and living labs to tailor the lab design to the local urban environment and help create a local community of innovation for the benefit of the city’s ecosys-tem.

Finally, cities that have gone through the previous 4 steps, can create a network to share, use and reuse applications and practices. Through such a network they can maximize the reach and value of the solutions they develop by sharing them with their peers, as well as learn from and build on experiences for other cities. Such networks could also connect with already existing networks in Europe (for example, the European Network of Living Labs or the Open Cities initiative) and in the US. The World Bank can support cities to join such international city networks that apply open innovation and co-creation approaches. The ultimate goal of this activity is to create a global network for open innovation at city-level where all city ecosystems can benefit from each other’s inventions and developments.

city energy efficiency transformation initiative

Is it possible for cities to spur economic growth while enhancing energy efficiency? Which municipal sectors offer the greatest po-tential for energy cost savings? How can mayors introduce policies that save money, expand services and contribute to the global response to climate change? And where can urban planners find private sector investment to finance innovative energy efficiency programs?

The World Bank’s new City Energy Efficiency Transformation Initiative

(CEETI) offers city governments the support with which to answer these

critical questions. It is a joint initiative by three World Bank units—the

Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the World Bank

Institute (WBI), and the Information and Communication Technologies

Unit (ICT), in partnership with the Global Buildings Performance Network

(GBPN) and the Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program

(CLASP). CEETI helps urban leaders integrate energy efficiency into the

core of city planning through programs to build their capacity, map out city-

wide efficiency strategies, and facilitate access to development financing.

The three-year initiative will assist selected cities throughout the entire process from assessing their energy efficiency potential to developing bankable energy efficiency projects or investment programs to designing targeted interventions in areas such as public lighting, buildings, water utilities, power and district heating, and urban transport. When implement-ed, these energy efficiency measures can help improve public services and lower municipal energy bills, as well as contribute to job creation, economic growth and the city’s competi-tiveness, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

CEETI builds on experience gained from implementation of the Tool for

48 49Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE), which was created by ESMAP to measure energy efficiency across a range of municipal sectors and pinpoint actions that can improve energy use and save cities money. Since its creation, TRACE has been deployed in more than 25 major cities around the world, including Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Skopje (Macedonia), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Surabaya (Indonesia), and Nairobi (Kenya). It also builds on the lessons of extensive work by the World Bank’s regional units, particularly in the East Asia and Pacific region—through the Sustainable Urban Energy and Emissions Planning (SUEEP) Program—in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and in the Latin America and the Caribbean region.

CEETI will work with cities where there is a high potential for the develop-ment of urban energy efficiency programs, and a commitment from author-ities to support such programs.

The first year of the program will support the integration of energy efficien-cy planning into decision-making, building the capacity of urban planners, promoting learning and exchanges between cities, and facilitating part-nerships with potential financiers. This will include capacity building over a period of about 6 months, including hands-on training for city officials on how to assess energy efficiency opportunities in the public sector, create energy efficiency plans, and finance and implement programs.

The second and third years of the program will consist of dedicated techni-cal assistance supporting cities to develop specific energy efficiency plans and investment programs, pre-feasibility studies as well as policies and institutions. This phase will support the implementation of transformation-al energy efficiency programs.

Mayors are pragmatists, not partisans; innovators, not ideo-logues. We are responsible for delivering results, not debating politics. And as the world becomes increasingly more urban, the importance of bold local action—particularly on climate change— will continue to grow.

- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

World Bank Group Support to Cities

With its focus on urban energy efficiency, CEETI is a key com-ponent of the World Bank Group’s approach to cities as engines of growth and sustainable, low-carbon development. CEETI will integrate energy efficiency into city planning and develop pipe-lines of bankable energy efficiency projects, build capacity, and facilitate access to development financing.

CEETI works closely alongside the recently-announced World Bank Low-Carbon and Livable Cities (LC2) initiative, which sup-ports cities in their climate-smart development through activ-ities aimed at planning (e.g., community scale emissions inven-tories; design of climate action plans and associated city-level capital investment plans) and finance (e.g., city-focused cred-it-worthiness training program and development of innovative financing solutions). The case of Rio de Janeiro exemplifies how these two initiatives work together. Based on the outcome of the TRACE study in Rio supported by ESMAP, the City of Rio has identified two potential investments in energy efficiency: efficient public street lighting using LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) and energy efficiency retrofits in municipal buildings (schools and hospitals). ESMAP then provided technical and financial assistance with the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) for a detailed feasibility study that will provide implementation and financing options for these two projects. Similarly, cities participating in CEETI could benefit from credit-worthiness training and access financing through LC2.

CEETI will also cooperate with the International Finance Cor-poration (IFC), the World Bank’s private sector arm, to provide expertise in private buildings.

Working together, these initiatives enable the World Bank Group to deliver a comprehensive package of assistance best suited to each city’s priorities, capacities, and set of circum-stances.

50 51CEETI will also include:

• An Energy Efficiency Innovation Competition that will provide incen-tives to entrepreneurs and ICT businesses/teams to develop solutions to city level energy efficiency challenges. Technology developers with ex-perience working on urban planning and energy efficiency in developing country cities will be invited to develop applications or other ICT solutions that address key energy efficiency challenges that cities face.

•Dedicated Expert Technical Assistance for cities that demonstrate an interest in implementing energy efficiency programs. A World Bank team will work hand-in-hand with the city to overcome energy efficiency barriers to help ensure successful implementation and delivery of energy efficient urban services.

lc2low-carbon livable cities (lc2) initiative

The World Bank Group’s LOW-CARBON LIVABLE CITIES (LC2) INITIATIVE supports the cities of the developing world in their efforts to set themselves on a low-carbon and resilient development path. Leveraging the expertise of its many partners, the World Bank Group has designed a series of planning and financing tools that can be tailored to cities’ needs and help them tap their full emissions reduction potential.

Applying a climate lens to cities’ devel-

opment plans means that energy savings

resulting in lower carbon emissions will

free up budget for other sustainable

investments, resilient infrastructure will

withstand the forces of nature, and citi-

zens will have cleaner air to breathe.

By reaching 300 of the largest developing country cities, the Initiative has

the potential to improve the lives of over 700 million people in the cities it

will help, and billions globally as emissions are reduced.

PLANNING: When it comes to planning, the first step is to understand

the problem at hand. A recent analysis by World Bank staff found that

only about 20 percent of the world’s 150 largest cities have even the basic

analytics needed for low-carbon planning. A critical part of the Initiative

is to build that evidence base by helping cities quantify greenhouse gas

emissions associated with economic activity and consumption. City-level

greenhouse gas inventories will provide municipal governments with a

snapshot of their emissions profile and enable them to identify the mix of

policies and investments that will help them achieve their full emissions

52 53reduction potential.

FINANCING: Smart planning is only one part of the solution. As cities

grow, municipal governments need to broaden and deepen sources of

financing, moving beyond traditional public funding to access much larger

private pools of savings, particularly in domestic capital markets.

The first step to get finance flowing is to make municipalities more attrac-

tive to private investors and help them access markets. The initiative offers

a unique City Creditworthiness Training Program to help municipal govern-

ments set themselves on the path to access local capital markets directly.

However, achieving creditworthiness is a long-term process. To address

short term financing needs, the Initiative will also leverage the World Bank

Group’s expertise to develop innovative financing solutions enabling mu-

nicipalities to access financing at better terms.

tracetool for rapid assessment of city energy

Cities face the difficult challenge of maintaining economic competitiveness,

and improving and expanding municipal services in the face of limited bud-

gets. Energy efficiency (EE) can help cities relieve some of the budgetary

pressure by reducing energy costs, thus freeing resources for municipal

services. EE can also help improve the quality of services, such as improved

lighting, transport, and building maintenance. The Tool for Rapid Assess-ment of City Energy (TRACE)is a decision-support system de-signed to help cities quickly identify and harness EE opportunities. It targets underperforming sectors, evaluates improvement and costsaving

potential, and helps prioritize actions for EE interventions.TRACE focuses

on the municipal sectors with the highest energy use: passenger transport,

municipal buildings, water and wastewater, public lighting, power and heat,

and solid waste.

TRACE was developed by the Energy Sector Management Assistance

Program (ESMAP), a global technical assistance program administered by

the World Bank, and was designed to involve city decision-makers in the

deployment process. TRACE starts by collecting benchmark data, contin-

ues with a two-week on-location assessment with technical experts and

decision-makers, and concludes with a final report to city authorities with

specific recommendations on EE opportunities tailored to the city’s needs.

TRACE MODULES

TRACE consists of three modules: energy benchmarking, which compares

the target city with peer cities globally; sector prioritization, which ranks

sectors according to their EE potential; and intervention selection, which

functions as a “playbook” of global best EE practices that the city can con-

sult for actual implementation design.

54 551. ENERGY BENCHMARKING

This module has a database of 28 key performance indicators collected

from 93 cities around the world. Examples include citywide indicators

(such as energy consumption per unit of the city’s GDP) and sector-specific

variables (such as electricity consumption per light pole). City authorities

can compare their city’s performance against peer cities on any of the key

performance indicators. They can also choose the comparison cities based

on population size, climate conditions, human development index, and any

other criteria.

2. SECTOR PRIORITIZATION

This module uses three functions—potential for improvement, sector ener-

gy spending, and city authority control—to prioritize sectors. The “potential

for improvement” indicates the scope of EE improvement that the city may

realize if it were to match the average of better-performing comparator

cities. The “sector energy spending” captures the total amount of money

that the city spends in the sector on energy. The

“city authority control” allows the user to specify the degree of influence

the city authority has in the sector.

3. INTERVENTION SELECTION

TRACE contains a set of 60 EE interventions that combines a blend of both

high-level strategic programs and specific activities that the city can pur-

sue. These recommendations are supported by a database of 191 global

case studies that link to additional resources and software tools that can

help the city implement EE measures. Each recommendation is rated on

three attributes: (i) energy savings potential, (ii) initial implementation cost,

and (iii) speed of implementation. These are used to help the city prioritize

activities in an action plan.

In order to synthesize recommendations appropriate for a city, TRACE

enables the user to match city capability to the capabilities required to

implement each recommen-

dation. City officials can

then select a set of recom-

mendations deemed socially

and economically viable. A

detailed analysis is available

for each recommendation

to help users quantify the

potential energy savings for

each EE action.

TRACE IN ACTION

As of June 2013, TRACE has

been deployed in 25 cities in

Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe,

and Latin America.

• In Turkey, TRACE helped define the Sustainable Cities pillar in the

World Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy for Turkey for 2012-15. Since

then, the TRACE findings have informed the World Bank’s US$300 million

programmatic lending to cities in Turkey.

• In Brazil, TRACE was implemented in Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte.

In the latter, the findings have been incorporated in the city’s strategy and

the “traffic optimization” recommendation has been implemented. In Rio

de Janeiro, the World Bank’s Presidential Cities Task Force is preparing

specific investments in the public lighting and buildings sectors, which were

identified by TRACE as having the largest EE potential.

• In Vietnam, the World Bank used TRACE to create city-level case

studies, the results of which were subsequently used to create Sustain-

able Urban Energy Program Guidelines for cities across the East Asia and

Pacific region.

Getting Started with TRACE

TRACE can be downloaded from http://esmap.org/TRACE. ESMAP provides training to cities or implementing agen-cies that are planning to use TRACE. The training can be conducted in person or via video link. A TRACE e-learning course was created in partnership with the World Bank Institute. The course is available at http://einstitute.worldbank.org/ei/course/trace-how-use-tool-rapidassess-ment-city-energy. The course is available for free with online registration. Additional-ly, ESMAP offers facilitated online courses for free to those planning to use TRACE. These are offered at a specified time to users around the world.

56 57• In Romania, a World Bank team is deploying TRACE in seven fast-grow-

ing cities as part of the Romania Regional Development Program funded by

the European Union. TRACE is being used to identify the specific invest-

ments to be funded under the program.

• In Kenya, TRACE is being used to identify EE investments and prepare

Nairobi’s EE action plan.

code for resiliencecommunity-driven innovation for disaster resilience

Natural disasters affected the lives of over 2 billion people in the first

decade of this century alone. Together these disasters set the global

economy back nearly USD$1 trillion in damage to lives, infrastructure, and

livelihoods.

At a time when the incidence of reported natural disasters is rising steadily, how can we increase resilience to natural disasters?

Code for Resilience, a project of the World Bank’s Global Facility for

Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), is partnering local technolo-

gists with global experts in disaster risk management to envision new apps,

platforms and tools that enhance community resilience to natural disasters.

The project, generously supported by the Government of Japan, is orga-

nized into three phases:

The collection of locally-relevant and ICT-actionable disaster risk

management “problem statements” (October-January);

One- to two-day “hack-a-thons” held in select cities around the

globe that team technologists up to create “hacks” that aim to

solve these problem statements (February); and

An online contest that encourages technologists to continue

developing, testing and refining their products (March-June).

Grand prize winners of the Code for Resilience online contest will be

announced at the World Bank’s Understanding Risk conference in London,

England in July 2014.

The Code for Resilience follows two preceding World Bank strategic “hack-

athons” in the water and sanitation sectors that together have organized

events in over 50 cities with more than 1,000 developers leading to dozens

of new technology tools, some of which are now being used by the World

Bank and client governments.

Those interested in hosting a local Code for Resilience event are invited to

The world is changing. Cities need to be smarter than ever in order to

develop economic and environmentally sustainable and to improve the

quality of life for all.

The Smart City Expo World Congress brings together leaders, specialists,

managers and experts involved in Smart City initiatives worldwide. Its main

objective is to create a meeting point for private businesses, public admin-

istration, entrepreneurs and research teams to share experiences, pool

ideas, and network and inspire one another to continue developing ideas

and initiatives to shape the future of cities.

This event has become the industry leader in smart cities. Its position as

the benchmark event gives it enormous convening power.

The Smart City World Congress is built around the concept of a “Smart

Society for innovative and sustainable cities”, integrating the underlying

themes of Energy, Technology, Innovation, Smart Society, Collaborative

City, Sustainable Built Environment, Governance, Economy, Mobility, and

City Resilience & Security.

The event is composed of an Exhibition Area, showcasing innovative com-

panies and reference cities already implementing the smart city initiative,

and the World Congress, which sees the most relevant speakers to explain

and debate pioneering approaches.

CitySDK aims at creating open uniform interfaces between the cities and

across the borders. SDK (Service Development Kit) refers to the tools that

technology companies provide for their developers. The same concept is

now introduced to cities to help them better utilize the know-how of the

developer communities in developing city services.

The Project focuses on three Pilot domains: Smart Participation, Smart Mo-

bility and Smart Tourism. Solutions of these domains are tested in Helsinki,

Amsterdam and Lisbon, and replicated in other European cities such as

Barcelona, Istanbul, Lamia, Manchester and Rome.

CitySDK offers great benefits for cities as well as developers. It is a col-

lection of tools and knowledge that will allow easy and rapid development

of transferable and interoperable Smart City services and applications. In

CitySDK a set of European cities work together to produce common tools

for the developers. Participating cities have in total a population of over 30

million inhabitants – offering countless opportunities for innovative com-

panies, entrepreneurs and developers to create applications and services

that will improve the quality of life of the citizens.

The SCEWC is an innovative event that has become the world reference meeting point on Smart Cities.

Helping cities to open their data and givingdevelopers the tools they need, the CitySDK aims for a step change in how to deliver services in

urban environments.

MyN is a project funded by the European Commission aiming at the co-cre-

ation of sustainable neighbourhood services to address people’s Wishes,

Interests and Needs.

MyNeighbourhood combines user driven open innovation methodologies,

design thinking and innovative approaches for sustainable user engage-

ment such as Gamification to create a sense of belonging and identity

among neighbourhood dwellers and lead them to identify and creatively

solve their own common problems.

The ultimate aim of MyN is to kick-start a viral effect wherein neighbours

and friends (within cities and across Europe) will use the open MyN Plat-

form to reconnect with one another, share new ideas, create new ways of

interacting and help make their daily lives‘ smarter. Through the combina-

tion of three core components: Urban Living Lab, Neighbourhoods and

Sustainable solutions, MyN aspires to start the development of a Human

Smart City at the scale of Neighbourhood.

co-creating sustainable neighbourhood services to address people’s wishes, interests, and needs.

Commons for Europe aims to identify the needs of public administrations

and citizens, promote the creation of new applications that can provide

innovative services and share the results openly among multiple European

cities.

The project aims to jointly create mobile and web applications that will

enable improved services, reduced costs and greater transparency. To

achieve these goals, the team led by ESADE Business School works with

seven European cities and their public institutions to identify the types

of new services that could benefit citizens and meet their needs through

innovation.

The Consortium has already set up a team of technical experts in new tech-

nologies to develop web and mobile applications that can offer this type of

services.

To achieve its objectives, the project intends to create an organisation

called Code for Europe – similar to Code for America – in order to channel

the efforts and imagination of promising young developers. The applica-

tions will be designed to operate in any of the seven cities involved in the

programme, but they will also be made available to any other European city

that expresses interest in them.

Promoting collaboration among cities across Europe is crucial to prevent

“reinventing the wheel” and to be able to implement multiple solutions for

common problems. To accomplish these goals, Commons for Europe has

developed Europe Commons, a new marketplace for civic innovation that

features apps and digital services aimed at improving the lives of communi-

ties.
