What will this future look like?
Homes and buildings will operate as living organisms, monitoring performance and adapting to our needs in real time, saving us energy and money
Solar-Powered Public Transportation Cities will be connected by lightning-fast, solar-powered public transportation options that are clean and convenient. They may even be stilted above existing roadways
Solar Surfaces Solar panels will begin to appear in unlikely places. They will cover sidewalks, line the outside of buildings, and double as fully functional windows
Self-Driving Electric Cars All vehicles will get their energy from the electrical grid. There will be no exhaust pipes, no carbon dioxide emissions, no gas stations, and no car accidents
Smart Grids Consumers and power sources will communicate in real time through fiber optic smart grids that will reduce blackouts, maximize energy efficiency, and save money
Innovative Wind Turbines Cities will generate electricity from a host of new wind power innovations – turbines that float on the ocean, bladeless wind turbines, and turbines that hover in the atmosphere
Efficient Water Use
Energy Independent Homes
Buildings will be equipped with comprehensive water management systems, allowing them to collect rainwater, monitor water use, and efficiently recycle graywater
Homes will be adorned with solar panels, small-scale wind turbines and other sources of electrical generation, allowing them to operate independently from the grid, when necessary

What is the right approach to develop future cities? Emotional "top down" vs. "bottom-up" debate ongoing
"Bottom-up"
• Songdo, Rio Operation Center
• Chicago/San Francisco Open Data
Developers / Vendors
• IBM, Cisco, Siemens, ...
• Volunteer developers / startups
Development Process
• Vendor in-house development, sometimes in city partnerships
• Inclusive: citizens/officials and developers, "app contest"
• Centrally managed, "control room" • Typically proprietary, some open • Efficiency focused
• Distributed, SW smartphone "apps" • Open data, open interfaces • Social and local focus
• Citizen inclusion • Social focus • Pace of innovation
• Robustness and maturity of SW • Realizing mission critical SW • Few commercial successes

Making our cities "smarter" today still with several hurdles
Copyright © 2014 by The Boston Consulting Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
What
• Value proof: Many applications without proven business case, yet ‒ or overall economic/social/environmental but no direct financial business case • Fiscal constraints: Difficult to finance large invests, ideally self-financing • Standards: Especially for IT, lack of city related standards • Legacy: Very heterogeneous starting points and legacy infrastructure • Scale: Especially for IT apps, need to better leverage solutions globally
How
• Resilience: Especially for IT, vulnerability to faults and cyber attacks • Privacy: Especially for IT, key concerns around data protection • Government role: Still experimenting with policies how to best support
Who
• Buying center & decision making: Complex, especially cross department

Outlook
Copyright Š 2014 by The Boston Consulting Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
Urbanization and climate change make increased "smartness" mandatory – especially in times of aging infrastructure and constrained fiscal budgets
Yet, given the challenges, smart city development will take time. Need to continue trying out, piloting, innovating top-down and bottom-up Critical to continue building up forums of city governments and the private sector to exchange experiences & value proofs, drive standards, and improve scale of solutions
Vast majority of city infrastructure spend will still be in "bricks" to support the immense city growth in emerging markets. However, "bits" will play an ever growing role
