Smart Cities: today’s presentation

•

The Imperative

•

Entering the mainstream

•

What is a smart city?

•

How do we make smarter cities?

•

How can we deliver smarter cities?

Some Findings •

Smart and smarter cities are here to stay

•

We can deliver better cities using a smart cities framework

•

Different objectives are needed to be achieved depending on the place and conditions of the place

•

We don’t have to deliver it all at once

•

Cities need to find their own definition of smart

•

There is strong and legitimate role for architects, planners and urban designers to play in the delivery of smarter more sustainable and liveable cities

•

We have to remember the human scale – its about the people

The Imperative - Mega Cities

•

In 2012, 26 urban areas were classed as mega cities (>10 million people)

•

Asia most populous: 60% world’s population

Smart Cities: the Imperative •

Humanity is officially an urban species – at this moment, more than half of us live in cities

•

The number of city dwellers is expected to double by 2050 to more than six billion people – the number alive on earth right now

•

The number of megacities (10 million or more) will

increase from three in 1950 to twenty-seven by 2025, housing 450 million among them

The Imperative - Global Warming & Resource Depletion Cities consume...

•

World’s energy 75%

•

Greenshouse gases 80% (Ghgs production)

Growing Populations vs Scarce Resources •

A ‘unrecognizable’ world by 2050?

Smart Cities: the Imperative

The world’s governments are poised to spend a staggering $35 trillion in

infrastructure in the next two decades, the majority on transport and urbanism

What is a Smart City?

From Wikipedia •

A smart city (also smarter city) uses digital technologies to

enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. •

Key 'smart' sectors include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. A smart city should be able to respond

faster to city and global challenges than one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens.

What is a Smart City?

•

Interest in smart cities is motivated by major challenges, including climate change, economic restructuring, the move to online retail and entertainment, ageing populations, and pressures on public finances.

Popularisation – Entering the Mainstream

Value of the Smart Cities market •

The U.S Market research firm Markets and Markets adopted a more general definition – which includes smart building and urban and cyber security among other technologies – and estimated the market at $1 trillion by 2016

•

The UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) evaluated the

global market for smart solutions and estimated its value to reach $400 billion by 2020 of which 10% can be reaped by the UK

•

The global business consulting firm Frost and Sollivan valued the market at $1.5 trillion by 2020.

Next City: How Dating Apps Are Changing the Way We Behave in Public

“For all the handwringing about “hookup” apps undermining monogamy, fewer have wondered how their use of proximity to serve up potential matches is changing users’ perceptions of the city. Based on sheer numbers and intensity, they must be.

Grindr’s rise was a watershed in a cruising culture that had always relied on coded signals and assignations in public space.

Today, 38 million messages are exchanged daily through the app, many in countries where homosexuality is a capital crime.”

Delivering Smart Cities: The Six Objectives (EU & Giffinger et al)

What are the barriers to progress?

1.

Constrained demand from cities for smart initiatives

2.

Business models for rolling out smart technologies are still underdeveloped

3.

Cities lack technology-related skills and capacity

4.

Cities find it difficult to work across departments and boundaries

5.

Cities have limited influence over some basic services

6.

Concerns about data privacy, security and value

7.

Increasing citizen take up and participation is difficult

What should be done – Public and private ?

The Government should make funding available to test new products and initiatives and also make sure that: • Efforts are coordinated rather than isolated • Initiatives like the Smart Cities Forum (a UK Government Initiative) should involve representatives and gather insights from all the relevant sectors • Interventions stay flexible and steer away from focusing on certain sectors/initiatives, recognising that cities have varying needs and challenges.

What should be done – Public and private ?

The private sector should: • Work in partnership with cities on designing products and services that are financially viable and respond to local needs and challenges • Publicise international solutions that might to replicated and partner with cities to test new products • Work with relevant parties to identify and build the business models needed to take projects forward

Delivering Smart Cities: Our Approach

In Conclusion •

Smart and smarter cities are here to stay

•

We can deliver better cities using a smart cities framework

•

We don’t have to deliver all of the smart cities objectives all at once

•

Different objectives are needed to be achieved depending on the place and conditions of that place

•

Cities need to find their own definition of smart

•

There is strong and legitimate role for architects, planners and urban designers to play in the delivery of smarter more sustainable and liveable cities

•

We have to remember the human scale – its about the people
