ABOUT MCS

FACULTY AND STAFF

The Technical University of Madrid (UPM) is promoting a unique and cross-cutting postgraduate program between the schools of engineering and architecture that has already became an international benchmark. The Master in City Sciences is an advanced program that provides a holistic view on the development of the city.

DIRECTOR

Nowadays, the city is the first economic and social engine worldwide. It is the object of interest of the most important companies. Traditional university courses have failed to respond to the urgent demand of professionals with a technical and comprehensive vision of the urban phenomenon. Answering this demand, the MCS program integrates disciplines related with planning, energy, sociology, economics and all the new technologies and infrastructures that are the core of the functioning of the city.

José María de Lapuerta ACADEMIC COMMITTEE José María de Lapuerta, Javier Uceda, José Manuel Páez, Claudio Feijóo SPECIALTY AREA DIRECTORS Claudio Feijóo, Andrés Monzón, Mª Eugenia López Lambas, Jesús Leal, Javier García-Germán, Ginés Garrido, Francisco Burgos, Julio Lumbreras, Óscar García, Sergio Ramos, José Antonio Juncá, Diego Vizcaíno, José Antonio Herce.

Right from the start, students from all nations will be trained in city-related areas both in a theoretical and practical way, in order to achieve a high professional level. MCS is based on real projects that will be approached as case studies. This transdisciplinary approach has made that important international companies are involved in the MCS faculty, in the preparation of the final master thesis and in the possible subsequent employment. The international character and the pursuit of excellence are reflected in the workshops together with other international universities and in the quality of the faculty staff, which aims to have the best international figure of each field. MCS is committed to the highest level of education combining professors of international prestige and a thorough participant selection process in order to make the best out of this course.

AREA DEFINITION

COORDINATOR

The area is based on the idea that the intensive deployment and usage of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) contribute to improved wealth creation and social cohesion in the urban context. In particular, the most relevant trends within the ICT domain –mobile uptake, ultrabroadband deployment, Internet of Things, big data, social networking expansion and innovations in services, applications and content- are explored in this area.

Claudio Feijóo holds an MSc and PhD in Telecommunication Engineering and an MSc in Quantitative Economics. Currently he is professor at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) where he researches on the future socio-economic impact of emerging information society technologies, in particular, from an ultra-broadband, mobile and content perspective. He serves as Deputy Director at the Research Centre for Applied ICTs (CeDInt) at UPM. He is currently National Contact Point for ICTs under European Union’s Horizon2020 R&D programme, and he is the co-founder and coordinator of the ICT area in the international master programme on city sciences. He spent two years at the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies of the European Commission researching on the future prospects of mobile content and applications. He also directed the Chair in Telecommunications Regulation and Information Society Public Policies at UPM. He participated in the information society development plans and broadband deployment strategies while being adviser for the Spanish State Secretary on Telecommunications and Information Society. For three years he was also dedicated to launch a university spin-off devoted to the transfer of know-how in technology, media and telecommunications. He has been involved in numerous research, development and consulting projects, both public and private, in Europe, Latin America, North of Africa and Asia. He lectures regularly in international seminars and postgraduate courses and has authored more than 200 publications in books, journals and conferences. He is guest lecturer at IE Business School on digital business and disruptive ICT and member of the board of the International Telecommunications Society. 4

ICT. NEXT GENERATION INFRASTRUCTURES

SYLLABUS Next generation infrastructures (NGI) will support a renewed electronic communication structure where opportunities lie in the provision of ubiquitous ultra-broadband connectivity, novel applications, appealing contents and the general support to the sustainable development of all the economic sectors. From their deployment it is –much– expected a wealth of innovations, jobs creation and economic growth. In particular, within the city framework, NGI appear as the key technology for the provision of smart transportation, smart grids, Internet of Things, big data, open government and all types of new services and applications. However, beyond specific aspects of the urban context, the rise of what has been called the knowledge economy or new economy has reinforced the role of telecommunications as a strategic investment in urban areas. The consensus regarding the importance of telecommunications has changed the reasoning at play. It no longer includes the existence of an adequate infrastructure as a factor affecting local development. Instead, its absence is considered a sign of underdevelopment.

In this context, this module of the MCS will cover present and future NGI technological developments, techno-economic deployment scenarios in a urban landscape, citizens’ demands and expectations, and regulatory and policy-making options to promote their uptake. MAIN TOPICS: • • • • • • • •

Next generation infrastructures: basic concepts. Broadband. QoS. Fixed vs. wireless networks. Architecture of a telecom network. Methodology for next generation infrastructures deployment Fiber networks (FTTx), networks based on existing telephone networks (xDSL), Cable networks (HFC), Mobile communications networks (4G), Other emerging concepts (fixed-mobile convergence, ad-hoc networks, heterogeneous networks, mesh networks, etc)

ICT - IoT

INTERNET OF THINGS

MAIN TOPICS

Internet of Things (IoT) will be the supporting technology for any type of smart environment. It is based on a network of sensors on physical objects equipped with Internet protocols –therefore seamlessly integrated within Internet- and able to create communications networks automatically and send / receive information without direct user intervention –machine-to-machine communications, M2M. Data acquisition, data processing, wireless transmission and routing, and data fusion and consolidation are the basic building blocks of any IoT deployment.

In this context, this module of the MCS will cover present and future IoT technological developments, and main techno-economic deployment scenarios in an urban landscape.

M2M has been cited frequently as the next engine for growth of wireless. In fact, in 2020 between 12 to 50 billion machines are expected be connected with each other, a 12- to 50-fold growth from 2014. Within the urban landscape, IoT will be a key component of consumer electronics, intelligent buildings, utility sector, transportation and healthcare. From the perspective of citizens, IoT/M2M services will translate in a number of applications based on information provided by sensors and devices surrounding the user and supplying highly valuable context information.

IoT applications: intelligent buildings, utility sector, transportation and healthcare. Context / ambient intelligence. Future IoT technological developments Techno-economic deployment scenarios in an urban landscape.

In the case of industry –vertical- urban applications, the automotive sector (or “smart transportation”) is a paradigmatic case. Here, IoT/M2M involves sensors and connected devices that monitor the car as whole, the outside environment and traffic, as well as the driving itself. On a more macro level it also involves managing traffic and safety as a whole. In this sense, cars are forecasted to become the most connected machine we use and they are inherently mobile. For instance, emergency calling devices will automatically signal to emergency services when the car is involved in an accident or is in danger. 8

ICT - BIG DATA

BIG DATA Big data as a concept is loosely referred to as a term based on the size of some dataset, although there is no formal or informal demarcation above which a dataset shall be considered “big”, apart from some tacit agreement that this value is larger than some terabytes (as of 2014). Big data is also usually implied when considering the huge amounts of miscellaneous data stored by both public and private sector as a result of their regular activities. Both of those ideas—size and/or heterogeneity—hint at the problematic—but full of promises—management entailed by these data. In these senses the term has become increasingly popular in all types of policy declarations, initiatives and documents, whether scientific or not, and in particular in the domain of smart cities. Complementarily, there is another strand of definitions more akin to an economic perspective. Thus, big data can be defined as a set of processes, technologies and business models that are based on data and on capturing the value hidden in the data itself. Insisting in the value and business point of view, big data could be considered then as a new class of economic asset and the basis of a drift toward data-driven discovery and decision-making.

Also around the term big data, other concepts such as data science, data mining or data visualization have arisen. Probably “data science” should be highlighted as the global term encompassing all the others including big data itself. Data science would be different from statistics and other similar disciplines because of data increasingly heterogeneous and unstructured and the new processes required to analyse it. In fact, big data needs to be acquired, ingested, processed, persisted, integrated, analysed and exposed to produce results. Big data is also deeply linked to other related concepts such as “Internet of Things, (IoT)” or “open data”, which are also becoming increasingly popular on their own. IoT is an obvious source of big data. The second term makes reference data that is available and can be reused by anyone at no cost, subjected to a pre-defined license under which, the user/ distributor of the data has to provide appropriate credit to the primary owner of the data. Last but not least, in order to tackle with this relatively new discipline a new kind of professional has emerged, the data scientist, who combines the skills of software programmer, statistician and creativity to extract value from data. 10

ICT - BIG DATA

In this context, this module explores big data using practical cases to gain direct experience on the existing approaches to big data and their challenges within the urban framework. It seeks to create the framework for a City Science professional to be with/engage with a Data Scientist.

ICT - SPATIAL AND VISUAL ANALYTICS

SPATIAL AND VISUAL ANALYTICS Cities face a rapidly increasing amount of data that have radically influenced the manner in which we deal with information. Most of the time, data is stored without filtering and refinement for later use. However, raw data has no value in itself; instead, we want to extract the information contained in it. In this context data science and complexity theory can help cities formulate and evaluate policies to stimulate a balanced economic activity and a sustainable urban development. In particular, Spatial and Visual Analytics are among the most powerful tools aiming to cope with the information overload problem. This refers to the danger of getting lost in data, which may be irrelevant to the current task at hand, as well as processed and/or presented in an inappropriate way.

Furthermore, a visual analytics process combines automatic and visual analysis methods with a tight coupling through human interaction in order to gain knowledge from data. In this context, this module of the MCS will cover present and future research and technological development in the field of Spatial Analytics and Visual Analytics and its applications. It will also provide an overview of the ongoing work on visualization of data mining and simulation tools, among other related disciplines with a combined potential to support decision making in the urban environment.

Visualization is a process to communicate content through different pictorial techniques in order to allow users to get information and gain knowledge from a specific topic or process. In the ICT context, it is mainly used as the most effective way to discover unexpected patterns and relationships among big and often heterogeneous datasets and/or to present / evaluate / explore / simulate / play with several facets of the real world. 14

AREA DEFINITION

SYLLABUS

The Transport and Mobility area will deal with the urban mobility challenges that cities are facing regarding the need of a sustainable and inclusive transport system. It will deal with transport planning and the relationships it has with urban planning, the use of ICT and the different kinds of mobility that are needed to foster in order to achieve a sustainable urban network.

Cities are at the core of the European and worldwide life and they are the engine running most of the economy. Most of the European citizens live in cities and 85% of the welfare is located in cities. But cities also suffer the aggressive impacts of non-sustainable mobility patterns. Therefore it is crucial to implement strategies to assure liveable cities, a healthy system and growing economies at the same time. That goal requires matching economic growth, quality of life and environmental protection in cities. To that end we need sustainable strategies to change our life styles to be less dependent of pollutant vehicles and to reduce the need of travel. The future of urban mobility faces two main problems; on the one hand, the growth and sprawl of urban population and on the other hand the already high and growing motorization rates. Urban mobility is vital for the functioning of the cities; however, the mentioned trends cause a number of negative impacts such as congestion, accidents or pollution.

TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY

Better transport solutions are a key element of a city in order to achieve its environmental, social and economic objectives and to meet the expectations of a changing society. Smart solutions for urban transport are being developed towards: offering seamless transport services for passengers and goods - improving traffic planning and transport demand management - reducing urban transport emissions and air pollution - improving public transport performance and making it cleaner safer and more efficient moving towards sustainable mobility and seamless multi-modality - identifying mobility needs and preferences and therefore improve the mobility of people and goods by collecting, processing and distributing information.

Smart cities could provide the technological base to deploy less car dependent mobility patterns. Information and communications systems will help to develop working, shopping, social trips in a more sustainable way. By planning the urban space with much control on the urban sprawl (expansion of cities), restricting the use of car in urban areas and developing intelligent public transport systems of high quality, a better and more efficient urban mobility networks can be achieved and thus, a better city for all. The Transport and Mobility area will structure its contents in seven topics; each of them will be developed with its theory and case examples. Students will solve a case study using the PLUTO software and it will be presented at a public jury. 1. Mobility trends The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is increasingly city based: by 2050 nearly 70% of the population will live in cities. Curbing mobility is not an option, so it is needed to face this challenge through sustainable mobility solutions.

TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY

2. Traffic and the city The increasing private car use has made traffic congestion one of the main striking problems in the city. To cope with this, traffic management and control (road capacity, accesses, parking, etc.) is one of the main tools for the city councils. 3. Mobility surveys Why and how people move? Mobility surveys are the key tool to know the mobility patterns in the urban areas: trip purpose, mean of transport, spatial distribution, scheduling, etc. This information allows mobility planning. 4. Public transport modes Networks design, main characteristics of the public transport modes, level of service and the interaction with the urban planning (Transit Oriented Demand schemes) are the key elements to be developed under this topic. 5. The liveable city Urban mobility planning is a challenging and complex task. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP), in contrast to traditional transport planning approaches, places particular emphasis on the involvement of citizens and stakeholders and the coordination of policies such as transport, land use, environment, economic development, social policy, health, safety, energy, etc. 6. Seamless and sustainable mobility Public transport interchanges are key elements for improving seamless mobility in order to make transfers short, easier and comfortable, especially in the urban areas where multi-stage trips are increasing. This topic will deal with the design, location, funding, etc. of urban interchanges. 7. City logistics Urban freight distribution has a striking impact on the safety, quality of life, environment and air quality of cities: freight vehicles represent 8-15% of total traffic flow in urban areas, accounting for

10-15% of the final cost of the finished product on average. 8. Modelling better mobility A view of current transport modelling processes to predict the long term impacts of new policy measures. It will include a brief explanation of the theoretical mathematical fundamentals and some practical applications. 9. Land use and transport integration All activities are interacting in a loop on the territory, using the transport system as communication channels. Therefore it is necessary to understand how they interact in a systemic way and the limitations and potentialities of the different transport networks. PLUTO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; training tool for modelling and forecasting transport and city developments Students are asked to develop their own city plan, including public transport services, traffic management and land development patterns. The global aim is to achieve a number of sustainability targets: less pollution, less accidents, less cost and better modal share. They will use Pluto which is a computer based simulation tool of land use and transport system in an urban area. It is designed to help explore the interaction of transport planning policies and to clarify the issues involved in the formulation, execution and evaluation of such policies. CASE STUDIES The course will present good/bad practices from a number of cities around the world: Europe: Madrid, Barcelona and Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), Grenoble (France), Yorkshire (UK) Latin America: Santiago (Chile), Curitiba (Brasil), Bogota (Colombia) North America: New York, Portland (USA)

STATEMENT OF INTENT The course aims to offer a platform for debating contemporary landscape architecture and urban design. It is structured around three overlapping lines which explore the definition and scope of these disciplines, construct a critical discourse around them and speculate about their future and the future of cities. We will examine their theories and practices, adopting a broad rather than exclusively internal vision of the discipline, and the module will be enriched with analyses of interventions in cities from the point of view of other experiences, therefore building bridges with topics discussed in other modules of the Master in City Sciences. The course will explore contemporary architecture, landscape and urban design but will relate these fields to others traditionally associated with civil engineering, geography, sociology, culture and history. This will not be done exhaustively due to the dimensions of the module and because the course, which essentially adopts a general, basic approach, will focus on a limited number of themes while nevertheless aiming to provide students with the most open and broadest possible overview of landscape and urban design, and to equip them with the key instruments for developing a critical outlook on urban reality and speculating in a more experimental way about the future of cities.

The module consists of eleven lessons that will create a broad repository of knowledge and references and help students to understand the basic issues, to ask themselves critical questions and to establish links with the topics discussed in other modules of the Master in City Sciences. The structure will be broken down into three cycles, ten lessons in total, plus an introductory lesson. The sessions will be based on reading assignments and the discussions sparked by them, in-depth analyses of case studies, and contributions from guest lecturers who will enrich the lessons with parallel, complementary visions of urban design and landscape.

OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE

INDEX

In keeping with contemporary urban patterns, ecological demands and urban infrastructures, this module in the Master in City Sciences will examine the most important writings from a selection of key critics and discuss methods, models and systems for gaining an insight into the urban design and landscape theories of the 21st century. Meanwhile, the analysis of a set of contemporary case studies will demonstrate the practical application of these theories.

0. Introduction 1. An Approach to Madrid as Urban Metropolis 2. Monumentality and Urban Renewal 3. Infrastructures in Cities 4. Urban Ecologies 5. Reconfi gured Voids 6. Urban Acupuncture

The purpose of the course is to help students to identify and interpret elements of urban landscape practice. Reading assignments, discussions, presentations by guest lecturers and analyses of practical cases and strategic proposals will provide students with a basic introduction to the design of urban space and landscape. By the end of the course they will be able to articulate their own experience and intellectual preoccupations and propose imaginative alternatives to contemporary practice by establishing a nexus between landscape and urban design and all the other disciplines studied in the Master in City Sciences.

SYLLABUS Urban environmental issues This lecture introduces the main environmental issues at urban scale serving as a starting point for discussion of strategic approaches to solve them. The main problems are those threats to present or future human well-being, resulting from human-induced damage to the physical environment, originating in urban areas. This includes: environmental problems such as ambient air pollution, inadequate waste management and pollution of rivers, lakes and coastal areas; extra-urban impacts such as ecological disruption and resource depletion in a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surroundings, and emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases; and regional or global environmental burdens that arise from activities outside a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries, but that may affect people living in the city. Air quality management Air quality is an important issue with direct implications on urban planning, mobility and public management in general. Meeting air quality standards in urban environment is essential but also very challenging since both population and emissions concentrate on urban environments. Effective measures and strategies to improve air

quality in the city must take into account the influences of most of the emission sectors involving different pollutants and a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. Additionally potential negative impacts on productive activities as well as social and economical costs play an important role. This module uses the Madrid case study as an illustrative example of a real problem and the development of a local air quality strategy. The lecture includes the description of the case, highlighting the main objectives, challenges and constrains both technically and policy wise. Air quality modeling Air quality modeling is one of the main tools for the development of an urban air quality plan. In this course, the main type of models are briefly reviewed and discussed to understand the combination of modeling techniques needed to meet the requirements of the case study. The students are asked to propose an air quality model considering their limitations, reliability, input information, needs for calibration and evaluation, costs, etc. The solutions are discussed and compared with the option selected for the Madrid city pointing out the rationale for that choice, the model setup, main results and options for future improvements. 26

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Special attention is paid to the criteria needed to understand the information conveyed by the simulations by reflecting on the uncertainty and representativeness of the results.

Despite meeting the legal standards, public health is the ultimate target of urban air quality plans. The course includes a succinct background on air pollution and health and the different methodologies to assess urban exposure. The lectures include a very recent real case study in the UK.

and services (products). This is achieved, in some cases, through common sense, in others using quantitative tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Such life cycle tools equally help quantify and communicate the benefits of different waste management strategies, including the potential for important reductions in e.g. greenhouse gas emissions associated with recycling, energy recovery, and bio-composting. This lecture is focused on providing the students appropriate tools and knowledge to stimulate life cycle thinking in the context of Municipal Solid Waste Management.

Materials cycle in the city

Municipal Solid Waste Management

It is essential to move away from the simple waste concept towards the sustainable management of resources, especially within the city. This requires life cycle thinking (LCT), which is supported through high value end-of-life services, knowledge, and education. Life cycle thinking in urban decision-making is necessary to avoid the unintentional shifting of burdens amongst different types of impacts on society and the environment, between different regions, as well as between the different upstream and downstream stages in the life cycles associated with the provision of goods

This module uses three case studies as illustrative examples of Municipal Solid Waste Management considering relevant variables influencing the technological selection (i.e. population served, urban design, city development level, etc.). A variety of cases are selected from Latin America, Asia and Europe areas. Each lecture includes the description of the case, highlighting the main objectives, challenges and constrains both technically and policy wise.

AREA DEFINITION

SYLLABUS

This module considers the discussion on ecology and energy as an opportunity to reconsider the way cities are conceptualized. Existing perspectives which give priority either to its spatial structure or to the way cities function is being superseded by a more consistent and holistic view which overlays its structure (spatial structure and built systems), performance (climate and use through time) and its connections and exchanges with the environment.

The Post-modern conceptualization of cities has understood urbanization processes as a collection of independent fragments with distinct urban logics —from historic city centers and ensanches to suburbs— and as an artificial phenomenon developed in isolation from the territory in which it sits. Under this perspective urban development is fueled by economic development, forming constellations of fragments which have grown independently from the energy, matter and information flows that form the natural region where it is located. As a result, not a single conceptualization of the city has managed to understand in the same terms the urban realm and the natural territory. However, in the last years this view is being challenged by the growing interest in ecology and ecological thinking in the ongoing urban, social and design debates. Drawing on past references such as the Odum brothers or Ian McHarg is challenging the once precise distinction between the non-human and human realms —nature and society, science and culture— which is in turn making explicit the exisiting entanglement between the city and its natural and social backdrops. 30

ECOLOGICAL URBANISM

The aim of the course is delineate this new understanding of the city. To achieve this end, scientific and technical knowledge will be merged with its cultural contextualization. These two tracks, the technical and the theoretical, will crisscross throughout the course to transmit a critical perspective on energy and sustainability that can propel effective applications on design. The module overlaps the lecture, seminar and workshop format. Based on case-studies, it includes an array of guest professors –featuring not only the design fields but other disciplines such as physics, ecology and applied engineering– among which speculative debate will be fostered. The module will be structured in the following blocks: 0. Introduction: Ecological Urbanism 1. Ecological Planning Since the 1960s the science of ecology has played an important role in the field of urbanism. These sessions will explore he role ecology has played first in the field of ecological planning and then in the field of landscape ecology to redefine the way in which cities are conceptualized.

2. Geography and infrastructure During the last years the field of urban infrastructure is being redefined under the lens of ecology. From the scale of cities and urban regions to entire continents, the infrastructure which services it needs to be assessed from the vantage point of ecology. And this does not only mean analyzing infrastructures from an ecological dimension but, more importantly, understanding geography as an artificial infrastructure that needs to be designed and managed. 3. Metabolic City During the last decade there has been a growing interest to apply to cities the concepts and processes of the metabolism of natural ecosystems to cities. If the energy, matter and information flows which a city establishes with the wide range of scales it interacts with –from the region where it sits to the global geography— are understood, it can be redesigned to enhance its ecological, economic and social urban metabolism. The objective is to discuss which are the new design potentials urban metabolism is opening, and assess to what extent these can overlap with existing spatial, social and economic design strategies. 31

4. Urban Meteorology

Madrid, Spain; Cape Town, South Africa.

Up until recently microclimate design has focused on exploring the atmosphere within buildings. However, in the light of phenomena such as climate warming or heat-island effect, urban microclimate is gaining momentum. These sessions will discuss how the interactions between existing macroclimatic patterns and the spatial, material, economic and biological systems which form a city can be designed to achieve urban microclimates which meet human comfort demands.

COURSE DESCRIPTION The general aim of this course is to explore the social morphology of cities and the local governance in relation with services provision in a globalized society where there is a rapid change of social needs. The social morphology: considering the social cleavages, and the different daily practices of social groups, the dynamics of urban society and social services provision with the uses and transformations of urban public. The access and use of local services: analyzing the specific characteristics of the local services in relation with the different social spaces in the city, taking into account their relation with the cultural and economic diversities of these spaces; considering the local services both from the supply and the demand sides, and the characteristics of the inhabitants of these spaces. Special attention is given to the question of the proximity and the distance of the services in relation to its impact in the local welfare. The urban governance: all these topics are approached taking into account from one side the perspective of the inhabitants of specific areas, and from the other the dynamics of their neighbor-

hoods. It will consider the diversity of the inhabitants in terms of its social and economic position, age, gender, ethnic or national conditions and other criteria relevant in each case, such as the type of household in which they live. The course also examines the structure of local power in different European countries and the system of decisions in the context of the current multiscale distribution of competencies. It will devote special attention to the citizens’ participation and the different ways of its organization, as well as the formation and dynamics of the local social movements. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The main aim of the course is to enrich the student´s analysis of the city and its capacity to plan the distribution of the social services, the way in which they are produced and to analyse its impact on daily life of people, considering also the ways of the local decision system and its organization in relation to the satisfaction of the social needs of the population. It is also intended that the students become an active part of the learning process by: 36

SOCIETY AND GOVERNANCE

a) Familiarizing with the approaches, theories, concepts and analysis related with socio political perspective and its three dimensions considered in the course: the social structure, the access and use to housing and local services and the urban governance. b) Examining the main problems and challenges related to the local governance in relation with specific social spaces and neighborhoods, combing quantitative and qualitative methods, and using different technical tools. c) Writing a small essay in relation with the topics analyzed. d) Proposing several interventions as a result of the analysis. METHODS -Lectures and class discussions. -Conferences of the specialists in the fields. -Reading provided texts. -Visits to the city to learn by the observation. -Analysing statistics and implementing the precise methods to evaluate the efficiency of the local governance and the provision and use of social services. -Conducting qualitative research (fieldwork, interviews). EVALUATION MODALITIES Students will produce two types of papers. First, an individual essay where there is an explanation of the theme taking into account the readings, theoretical classes and other activities. Second a collective assignment work made by teams. Evaluation criteria for the papers include: clarity of the central question and general structure of the paper, readability of the text and precision of the vocabulary, depth of the developed arguments and comments on literature, references of figures and sources BIBLIOGRAPHY Students are provided with a long list of references that are the main ones upon which this course has been constructed. Some of them will be compulsory to read. There will be a minimum number of readings for each theme of the program.

INTRODUCTION The Entrepreneurial Thinking and Management Area is focused on presenting a set of tools to show the students different strategies to explore their potential for the benefit of the cities, as they will be their managers in the future. In addition a number of study cases of innovators in the context of cities thanks to the provision of new services available for citizens are presented as a source of inspiration. Cities today face increasing challenges when it comes to providing advanced (digital) services, or becoming the playing field for third party stakeholders that form the so-called entrepreneurial ecosystem. Therefore, one of the biggest challenges for a city lies in becoming a place where innovation happens and flows, offering the necessary elements to openly attract and concentrate innovation from stakeholders and allow the rapid provision of services and applications where the city is the perfect test bed. Then the objective is to provide inspirational knowledge to support students to be proactive and make the difference through the identification of relevant topics in the future for cities, the gaps to be solved and the innovative proposals that will address them.

For that purpose, the paradigm of entrepreneurial thinking and management is followed in order to bring students some light to guide ideas and transform them into projects in a context of maximum uncertainty and limited resources. In this context, the Venture Lab aims at guiding students to transform their ideas into real projects for the benefit of the cities that can have an opportunity to impact in our daily lives. For that purpose a set of practical workshops is designed to cover all specific needs and support to define a solid proposal, counting on the experience of practitioners and professionals in the field of entrepreneurial management, business models, strategy, marketing, human resources, finance, technology and operations. All students participate in the Venture Lab by developing their projects in groups, as a mean to experience the process of creating value in form of new services and applications, and applying their knowledge and experience in a real initiative.

SYLLABUS The energy is crucial for our lives. The modern society and our quality of life are based on the extensive use of energy. Today, there is a continuous objective of reducing the power consumption without losing quality of life. At the same time, the presence of clean energy resources is becoming more necessary every day. A mix of conventional electrical generators (gas, hydroelectric, nuclear,…) together with a very spread generation based on wind, solar, bio-mass and others will provide our future energy. Since the amount of energy will be higher to power new loads such as electrical cars, it is crucial to improve the efficiency of all the equipment. Moreover, the presence of millions of sensors and detectors that will monitor and control our environment will force to use new forms of supplying energy. Especial attention should be paid to buildings and electric cars since they are very energy demanding loads. This module is divided in several topics. The fundamentals of each topic will be taught by distinguish professionals covering the basic concepts and the key issues.

1. Energy efficiency The objective of reducing CO2 emissions in the future only can be achieved combining clean energy resources and reducing the energy consumption. In the last years a great effort has been done in increasing the efficiency of home appliances and office equipment with initiatives such as Energy Star. Now the efforts are focused on lightning since it represents a great percentage of the electrical energy consumption. However, the implantation of measures for energy efficiency requires great investments that are not easy to obtain. Long-term financial plans should be designed to face this challenge. 2. Renewable energy The look for the energy of the future (clean, secure and cheap) is still on the way. In the meantime, there is a great development of the technology around the renewable energies (solar, biofuels, biomass,…). From the technique to the Regulations and masket, renewable energy sources that can be integrated in the city will be covered.

3. Smart Grids and dc grids

6. Wireless power and energy harvesting

The current electricity grid is based on AC distribution. This generation of electricity is based on rotating machines that produces an AC current being the high power plants located far from the cities. This technology is mature and today’s efforts are focused in the integration of the small, distributed and non-easily-predictable renewables energies such as wind and solar (Smart Grids). An interesting alternative arises for the cities: the massive use of small photovoltaic panels (PV) in every roof allows the generation of energy at the point it will be used. The energy generated by PVs is DC and there is a chance of saving a lot of energy if it is directly used by the home appliances, skipping the standard conversion to AC.

Sensors will be very common. We will use sensors to measure environmental indoor and outdoor physical variables such as temperature, humidity, wind, CO2, nitrogen oxides, … but also to measure traffic density or to detect the presence of people or free parking places. All these elements should be powered and in many cases the connection to the conventional grid may penalize their deployment. The alternatives are twofold: to harvest energy from ambient (radio waves, movement, solar…) or to supply the energy in a wireless mode. These two alternatives are being widely explored in these years because they will have a great impact in the success of the sensors networks.

4. Buildings A great part of the energy is used in buildings. The urban context, the neighbourhood attributes, the climate conditions plays an important role on energy consumption of buildings. Zero Net-Energy buildings are becoming a reality and they will be analyzed reviewing the main constrains and trade-offs. The presence of electrical dc grids with storage could be one of the key factors to reduce energy consumption in the future. 5. Electrical vehicles The mobility in the future cities will be based on electrical vehicles (cars, motorbikes, bikes, …). The electrical grid in the cities was not designed knowing the huge amount of energy required to recharge all these vehicles. A lot of new infrastructure should be built to allow the connection of the loads and also at the point of generation. In addition to this, the energy stored in the batteries of the vehicles can be returned to grid (vehicle to grid) to provide the extra energy during the peak consumption hours. The presence of thousands or millions of batteries connected to the grid will play a very important role to stabilize the grid considering the variable nature of the load and the variable generation of the renewable energies.

Session 1: Introduction to module.

Session 2: DC grids.

The main concepts about energy such as type of energy, usages, producers, consumers, etc, will be reviewed. A special attention will be paid to browse the efficiency of the main systems that consume energy. Also, in this lesson, a review of the speakers and topics of this module will be carried out.

The public ac grids are an essential infrastructure for our way of living. The availability of the electricity at every place and at every time is something very valuable. In the last years, the development of elements such as solar panels, electric vehicles, power electronics, batteries,.. offer a new possibility for the electrical distribution. In this lesson, the feasibility of a low voltage dc grid for buildings and small grids will be analyzed.

RENEWABLE ENERGY BUSINESS Carlos García Suárez

INTRODUCTION There is little doubt now that our economic future is going to be supported by an energy system that will mostly based on renewable energy. Much of it will be based on renewable electricity, in an increasingly electrified world, but there will a significant growth of second and third generation biologically produced liquid fuels for transportation applications. On the demand side, we could expect some progress in activities leading to reduce the energy intensity of our economy like the smart grid technology and the energy efficiency programs. While some might still see this just like a trend, the reality is that these move is already creating major business opportunities in all five continents. Some countries have advanced much into such scenario. For example, Germany has more than 17,000 MW installed of solar capacity and the German Federal has planned 66 GW of installed solar PV capacity by 2030. Even today, in not so sunny Germany we have can see how some days the solar facilities have provided around 20% of the total energy demand in the country. This is no longer a game, but big business. Spain, the fourth largest country in the EU, is already producing around 40% of its electricity using renewable energy sources. Even the USA who has been slow in catching up with the trend it is today hosting massive solar projects and wind projects (more than 50 GW of installed wind capacity by 2012). In Europe, the perspective of gigantic off shore wind facilities in the Baltic and North Sea is going to definitively alter the energy equation in northern Europe. And in the south of Europe, solar projects in Italy and Spain are just paving the way for massive solar projects in Northern Africa and in the immediate future Middle East. Saudi Arabia, for example, plans some 50 GW of renewable energy capacity for 2030. But maybe even more indicative is the fact that renewable energy projects are not longer just in the realm of developed and wealthy countries. Today China leads the world in new install energy ca-

pacity and India’s Rajasthan might become a key center for Concentrated Solar Energy projects. Even Latin America is finally showing increasing activities with countries like Brazil, México and Chile leading, but with others following. And most of this amazing development can be justified on just a few facts: 1. the cost of renewable energy electricity is going down so quickly that in many cases it is already cheaper than the cost of energy produced with traditional fossil technologies 2. the improvements in technology, via increased efficiency and reliability is yet to deliver impressive results in the next few years OBJECTIVES The course has several objectives: 1. Help students understand the dynamics of the renewable energy sector from a global perspective, jumping into many examples derived from the most active markets today . 2. Provide students with enough business, regulatory and technological background as: a. to facilitate their entry into the renewable energy sector (i.e. to get employment in the sector or to start their own energy venture) b. to help them and encourage them to deepen in specific aspects of the business, technology or geographically wise This is not a technical course but a business course on the renewable energy sector. Yet, the course will cover some technology issues, as technology is a key driver of the renewable energy business and the basic concepts and trends need to be understood. Yet this approach is conceived and taught so that any interested person, irrespective of his/her former academic training should be understanding and participate. 43

COURSE CONTENTS

PROGRAM

The course adopts a global perspective, i.e. tries to provide an overview of the renewable energy sector worldwide. For example, the regulatory systems in place in Europe are explained in detail to illustrate the so called “feed-in tariff” system, but other regulatory systems that are relevant to the business in other parts of the world are also covered (green certificates, quota systems, tendering, etc.).

Session 1: Renewable energy business projects From a project idea to construction The permiting process How to build large scale renewable energy facilities Project finance issues EPC issues Performance issues

The course is quite ambitious as far as technology coverage is concerned. It tries to cover a variety of technologies applicable to electricity generation (solar, wind, biomass, hydro, ocean) and to transportation applications (biofuels). As the scope of the course is wide, should not expect to become experts in any of the mentioned fields but rather to acquire a sense of what matters and what does not matter, an ability to detect business opportunities and to identify dead ends in the sector. To be clearer, the course will cover: Technology aspects and trends Market aspects and trends Regulatory aspects and trends Financial aspects Business opportunities Environmental aspects Again, it is important to emphasize that; the course has been conceived so that no technical or scientific background is necessary (to be clear you do not need to be an engineer or a scientist). All lessons should all be self contained and accessible for a regular MBA student irrespective of their former academic background.

BUILDINGS Jorge Rodríguez

Session 1: Buildings’ energy and urban form. Up to 70% of delivered energy is, arguably, subject to the influence of land use planning. While the most influential studies have had a strong focus on transport to consistently report on the benefits derived from mix of uses and urban containment, less attention has been given to the influence of the urban context on buildings’ energy demand. This lecture focuses on the relations between specific aspects of urban form, from regional to neighbourhood attributes, and the energy performance of buildings. Bibliography: 1.

Session 2: Urban Energy Index: a simple tool for preliminary assessment. In this session, Urban Energy Index (UEI), an assessment model for urban planning, is presented. The UEI aims to provide a functional methodology for the energy analysis of alternative urban spatial strategies. It should not be regarded as an ultimate assessment tool but as an instrument to investigate the relative performance of existing or proposed urban structures. The UEI has adapted well established calculation procedures from building physics to the assessment of blocks, neighborhoods or cities. It has been conceived for simplicity, flexibility and legibility so as to encourage its utilization at the various stages of the planning process. Variables at building scale are initially assigned default values to focus on genuinely urban parameters, such as building density or land coverage, which are more familiar to planners. Results are given as heating, cooling and lighting loads in buildings. They can be obtained as the mean value for the study area or plotted as heat maps. The integration of the model in Geographic Information Systems greatly expands its potential use, enabling synergies with rapidly evolving research disciplines. Bibliography: 1.

This session tackles the challenges of urban travel, the associated impacts and the trends that have been identified in recent years. Energy and carbon emissions associated to urban travel are put into perspective. The basic concepts, such as activities and modes of transport, are explained and discussed. A second part focuses on how aspects of urban morphology and socioeconomic variables may influence travel patterns in cities. This is not a straightforward task as results from previous studies are mixed and rather controversial. An introductory explanation of the main research methods, with an especial attention to Land Use and Transport Interaction models (LUTI), precedes a review of precedents. Finally, two case studies in London and Barcelona are used to challenge mainstream theories and some of the myths of the compact city.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS IN SMART CITIES: GOALS AND VIABILITY Paulina Beato

Session 1. Role of Smart Cities on Reducing GHG Climate Change puts pressure on the global society and claims for new efforts in order to reach agreed emission targets. Cities are huge and increasing producers of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a focus of attention due to their significant participation in the total GHG emissions and their capacity to reduce them. Smart cities of the future may benefit from regional and on-site renewable energy generation and from a fully integrated design and management of their energy systems. Increasing opportunities for private firms in smart technologies in the low carbon goods and services will appear through public procurement. For example, fitting of public sector building stock; smart energy grids and broadband access; electric vehicle charging infrastructure; installation of heat networks; and onsite renewable energy generation. The role of large buildings as active nodes in thermal and electric energy systems, providing energy generation, load shifts, and energy storage capacities beside their main functionalities will bring enormous opportunities and challenges to private companies. Session 2. Challenges and Obstacles for Developing Energy Efficient Cities Smart cities require integrated solutions to ensure an energy efficient city development. Grids, energy efficient buildings, energy supply systems, transport and the behavior of citizens will inevitably lead to considerable energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions, which is the final aim. Therefore, public sector involvement is required. The public sector funding capacity is limited due to high public deficits of municipalities and the lim-

its set on municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt. Therefore, strategic planning, integrated municipal departments and procurement processes will need to be backedup with innovative financial mechanisms to attract the private funding to support the transformation of energy use. Innovative low carbon products and services for smart cities should be supported by market measures including: innovative financial schemes and facilities, the development of new business models, the standardization and labelling of products and services However, the main problem is financing. The main obstacles for financing in cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformation through private financing are the following: High risk perception for innovative solutions and energy efficiency measures Uncertain policies on energy prices and uncertainty on fossil fuel prices Large investment volumes Long term maturity Other regulatory and political risks different from price policies Session 3: Exploring some Solutions In terms of economic returns, the long-term benefits of a smart city transformation linked to energy use are generally recognized. However, such large scale innovative and costly changes, even if showing important economic rates of return, are uncertain and perceived as excessively risky. To attract capital for investments in cities, solutions have to be found to attract long-term finance from specialized institutions such as pension funds. Such goal would require two conditions. First, reducing real and perceived risks of the investments. Second, developing project aggregation mechanisms to create bankable investments with reduced transaction costs. 47

AREA DEFINITION

SYLLABUS

Cities perform major economic functions as they organize the life of their citizens and facilitate their own economic performance. By concentrating on some of these economic functions and their territorial, policy, budgetary, entrepreneurial and business development implications this area tries to complement the more dominant urban and planning dimensions.

This area has been designed in order to explore the economic and business expression of cities. Much in the same way as cities are good (or bad) for living, they are good (or bad) for business. Cities, of course, are where citizens dwell, but along with citizens there are businesses off all sizes that serve the needs of city residents and visitors or make goods and services for export to other cities. These businesses may be thus local, intermediate and global. May intertwine with residential areas or be established at commercial or industrial parks outside the city area. Often, among the largest employers in a city, one finds the city administration complex that not only regulates every aspect of city life and appearance but also directly produces many of the services citizens demand. Last, but not least, large cities have a decisive territorial and economic impact in their provincial and regional environments. Hence, planning is a basic tool to enhance and channel the functionality of the city having in mind its economic and business expression. This area contains five modules of four and a half hours each of them containing three sessions of one and the half hours. Students will be asked to write a short essay on each module on a matter of their choice and to make a public presentation of one of these essays. 52

ECONOMY AND BUSINESS

1. City economics Major cities are able to dominate the entire economic balance of much wider areas, eventually a whole region. By acting as magnets for skilled labor, capital and Talent (creative individuals), advanced cities put in motion myriads of processes well beyond its boundaries impacting in metropolitan areas and productive corridors. Among the issues that will be dealt with in this module are: (i) Urban regions, boundary effects and spillovers. (ii) Metropolitan areas and productive corridors. Infrastructure and spillovers. (iii) Capital cities. From administrative tasks to advanced services. 2. Economic policy What role should be played by governments in the economy is a question whose answer shapes the economic system and, by extension, life of citizens. Taking into account the split of responsibilities between different administrations, this answer is also needed when referring to local governments and local economies. There is mainstream consensus about the existence of a finite set of causes that could justify public intervention in the economy. Although any agreement disappears when deciding how appropriate public

involvement should be organised, whatever consequent action cannot be inconsistent with the assessment made of the “justifying” arguments’ analysis. Any course of action derived from it can be considered an economic policy. (Local) Governments have at their disposal an array of different tools to pursue their chosen policy goals. 3. City finances Cities may not be run as firms or households, but they should. They manage huge resources that they obtain from taxes and upper governments grants and spend on behalf of citizens in a large varieties of services and programs. Even if they must behave following established accounting protocols and have the capacity to borrow, sometimes cities go bankrupt. Financially healthy cities however are able to borrow cheaply and to push their investments in new capacity or services for their citizens. Sound city finances are crucial for the wellbeing of its citizens and for an efficient fulfillment of the functions of the city, be they economic or not. Among the issues that will be dealt with in this module are: (i) Budgeting the city. Tax & spend for citizens. (ii) The servicing city. How to pay for urban services? (iii) Citizens participation in cities’ finances. Participatory budgets. 53

ECONOMY AND BUSINESS

4. Business development The capacity of a city to promote business development cannot be developed overnight. Starting with regulations favorable to business, continuing with a citizenry prone to initiate new business and/or support city policies towards entrepreneurship and ending with a vibrant business community, a long chain of factors determine this capacity. Pro-business cities are populated by pro-business citizens and attract more businesses and citizens sharing this nature thus reinforcing the circle. This module is designed to unveil these factors aiming at a clear understanding of their nature, interactions among them and final expression at the city level. Among the issues that will be dealt with in this module are: (i) Business climate in a city. The role of regulations. (ii) Business districts in a city. Entrepreneurs, skilled workers and dwellers. (iii) The business community in a city. From business schools to creative districts.
