What is a Smart City?

How do I make a City Smart? – Ingrediënts!

Examples of Smartness

Questions

What is it about today?

There we go!

Dumb

=

“showing a lack of intelligence”

Or

“not having the capability to process data”

(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

What is Dumb…

The Evolution of Dumbness …


Transition to Smartness…


“A city that makes extensive use of information and communications technologies, including mobile networks, to improve the quality of life of its citizens in a sustainable way. A Smart City combines and shares disparate data sets captured by intelligently-connected infrastructure, people and things, to generate new insights and provide ubiquitous services that enable citizens to move around easily, improve the efficiency of city operations, enhance security, fuel economic activity and increase resilience to natural disasters” (GSMA, 2013)”

What is a smart city?


How does a smart city operate? (sense–analyse–predict–actuate)

Sensing Analysis Act(uat)ing

Predicting

raw events

raw events

future events

meaningful

events

• Data creation • Controlling / alerting /

notification / routing of

objects and people

• Data usage


Almost everything can be made SMART…

So in principe boundless possibilities

Ingredient 1. Use Cases (ideas) and Business Cases


Dumb thing

+Micro computer (Arduino / Raspberry Pi / MEMS)

+ Sensors and Actuators

+ Internet connection

+ Digital identity (avatar)

= Smart Thing

Ingrediënt 2. Smart Things

+ + + + +


Measuring is Knowing…

“Quantified City” Sensors (BIG) Data

Transparancy (“open unless” policy)

Linked Open Data gives maximum possibilities for development of Smart Cities (combining data sets)

No transparancy can lead to initiatives where citizens start to monitor on their own (Geluidsnet, Fukushima)

Smart Cities create BIG Data Smart use of BIG Data

Ingrediënt 3. Open Data


Front End applications (Apps for users)

Back End applications (CEP engines, ESBs)

Ingrediënt 4. Apps!


Multi disciplinairy teams with smart thinkers, builders, makers, tinkerers, developers, database experts, designers and other specialists that can realize smartness

Smart users (using the smartness)

Learn people how to use new technology

Create awareness on what is available

Provide hardware at low cost for Citizen Science (e.g. iSPEX, Smart Citizen Kit, Air Quality Egg)

Ingrediënt 5. Smart People


Creative working spaces and test locations

Fab Labs (building smart objects and small scale testing)

Living Labs (testing concepts indoor + outdoor)

Ingredient 6. Smart Places (werkplaatsen)


Financing and sponsoring of

A Smart City framework (basic infrastructure)

Ideas and initiatives (fab labs, living labs, open data initiatives, hackathlons, etc.)

Sponsoring of Hardware (e.g. smart citizen kits)

Support governance of promising results

Ingredient 7. Sponsors


Create awareness (stimulate participation)

Publicity for smart city initiatives in town

Compete in smart city awards

Ingredient 8. Publicity


Think about possible consequences…

Security, Privacy, Intellectual property, Liability

Ingredient 9. Smart Issues


Create a Vision on how the future of the city has to look like

Ingredient 10. Smart Future


The ingredients all together

1. Ideas, Use Cases, Business Cases

2. Smart Things (Technology)

3. Linked Open Data

4. Apps!

5. Smart People en (multi disciplinairy) Teams (golden triangle)

6. Smart Place(s) (“workrooms”)

7. Sponsors (governance, finance)

8. Publicity (initiatives, awards, create awareness)

9. Smart Issues (liability, privacy, …)

10.Smart Future (vision)

How do I make my city smart?
