Why We need Smart Cities ? Our world is increasing challenged

The evidence is clear

We need to be Smarter

We need to Understand…and Act Together

• By 2050, 2/3 of the earth’s population (6.4 billion) will live in cities

• Aging population leads to decreasing productivity

• Resource strain of energy, housing, transportation, jobs, public services, etc.

• Citizens demand higher transparency of Government

What is Smart City?

• The use of ICT ( Information and Communications Technology ) to

improve the quality of life and city services, making the city more

livable.

• Ultimate Goals:

- Enhance quality of life

- Foster sustainable growth


Model from Dr. Boyed

Copenhagen, Denmark Create a “zero emission city” by 2025


Sweden Eliminate all traffic-related deaths by 2025 – Vision Zero Program


London, UK FinTech Capital of the World


Dubai Improving its gross national happiness index


Singapore Global leader in “Smart Government”

Big Data + IoT + Location Analytics:

• All IoT sensors have locations

• The most common IoT sensors in Smartphones – GPS receiver

• All posts, photos and messages are tagged with phone or IP locations in social media

Spatial Big Data

80% of data is spatial Big Data in the form of spatial layers & attributes

Smart City services rely heavily on Geospatial Technologies to understand underlying patterns & trends

Without location, datasets are less valuable, or in extreme circumstances – meaningless

Spatial Big Data

80% of data is spatial Source of Spatial Big Data

• GPS-enabled devices , Satellite remote sensing

• Aerial surveying

• Radar , Lidar

• Sensor networks

• Digital cameras

• Location of readings of RFID , etc….

Manages both space and time information such as tracking of moving objects.

A spatiotemporal database is an extension of spatial database.

A spatiotemporal database captures spatial and temporal aspects of data and

deals with geometry changing over time and location of objects moving over invariant

geometry.

HK Smart City Blueprint (Released on 15 Dec 2017)


CSDI is the Critical Component of the Digital Framework for Smart City Development

(Source: Report of Consultancy Study on Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong, June 2017)

HK should fast track the implementation of CSDI

Develop CSDI (Common Spatial

Data Infrastructure) by 2023 to facilitate

sharing of geo-spatial data across

government departments and government-

to-business (G2B) applications, including

the launch of CSDI portal, 3D digital map,

electronic submission hub for building plans

- HK Smart City Blueprint -

CSDI ( Common Spatial Data Infrastructure)

CSDI works like a city brain

Support better decisions and

help realize greater

efficiencies

Open Data in HK

No legislation on Open Data yet

The license conditions of telco prohibit the operators disclosing the customer information other than the

necessary for providing telecom service, even it is aggregate and anonymous

The outdated policy undermines the treasure trove of data that telco sit on

• GeoInfo Map:

- A geospatial information service provided

by the HKSAR Government to the general

public

- To facilitate the searching and

understanding of geographical locations,

the built and natural environments, and

public facilities in Hong Kong

Hong Kong: To Develop a SDI

• DATA.GOV.HK

- A Public Sector Information

Portal for Hong Kong data

- Download some geospatial

data

- Offer historical data

- Provide some API access to

data

• Portal for Open-Source Geo-Spatial Data

from Esri China (HK)

- Utilized data of Data.gov.hk

- Over 100 types of layers and web maps

created

- Enhanced data visualization

- Provide data download in spatial format

- Provide APIs
