TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION STRATEGY

Future Cities Smart Cities Many cities are finding their way to become smart cities. At TECNALIA we understand this idea as an instrument for setting a far-sighted approach. That is, a smart city project at the service of a transformation strategy that boosts social (cohesion-citizenship-involvement), economic (local development) and environmental (climate change, eco-efficiency) sustainability. A focused project leveraged on key strengths and differential assets to set driving strategic initiatives. Stimulation of the Local Economy Meanwhile, Europe promotes largescale "smart city" demo projects with integrated urban solutions (energy, transport, ICTs,...) as a lever to progress towards the 20/20/20 sustainability targets. The next EU 2014 - 2020 budget will allocate an important amount of structural, cohesion, and competitiveness and innovation funds for sustainable urban development. Making the most of these opportunities will require a smart city project with a smart management, promotion and leadership structure, and a smart and sound financial architecture providing credibility.

TECNALIA I INSPIRING BUSINESS

Urban Solutions for Smart Cities Cities are key players in the global economy; however, they are also responsible for 80% of CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities can be part of the solution if we combine smart city planning and clean technologies for a new generation of infrastructures. Innovation is the only strategy that guarantees long-term sustainability. It is also the answer to the socio-economic development challenges that cities face, by fostering a greener and more sustainable economy. The implementation of this vision implies identifying, choosing and integrating the best solutions and technologies with sound and independent criteria, putting them at the service of the city project. We integrate specific technologies in four vertical areas of the city, as well as transversal technologies (ICT, assistive technologies, new materials and sensors) to develop innovative urban solutions.

TRANSFORMATION OF URBAN AREAS INTO QUIET AREAS Quiet Urban Areas increase the usability of urban spaces and users' satisfaction.

"Quiet Areas Definition and Management in Action Plans" (QUADMAP) project focuses on facilitating urban planners to identify and prioritise the potential "Quiet Urban Areas" of the city, as well as defining the criteria for the design of these calm urban spaces. For further information: www.quadmap.eu

ENERGY MASTERPLAN FOR THE CITY OF SISAK (CROATIA)

It contributes to transform the city into a Smart Energy City through the improvement of the efficiency of the transport system, water and energy management systems, and the use of renewable energy sources. The city's Action Plan was developed by drafting an emissions inventory, performing a diagnosis of the existing buildings and infrastructures (energy, water, mobility) to establish priorities and sizing of the projects. The actions include, among other initiatives: the reorganisation of the urban mobility scheme with a new bridge and access ways; the transformation of the old quarter into a pedestrian area; the creation of a new "zero emissions" district; and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant, to reduce of the city's emissions by at least 30%.

Energy and Environment

Cities perform essential functions for human development: they provide protection, support for productive and leisure activities, ensure mobility of goods and people, promote the development and cohesion of citizens, guarantee their health and comfort, etc. Like a living body, these functions consume resources and generate emissions and waste. A city's design and management determines its efficiency (how "smart" it is). A smart-efficient city gets the highest performance with the minimum consumption of resources, while generating minimal impact.

Innovation and Technology Nowadays, the progress and economic potential of a city depends on its relationship network and innovation system rather than on its demographic weight.

The pursuit of the new knowledge economy follows an open model requiring a range of different stakeholders, disciplines and approaches to tackle opportunities arising at the blurred boundaries between sectors. The relational density that characterises the urban environment makes it an ideal place for the development of this new creativity and knowledge economy. As Innerarity argues, the creative economy tends to become territorial, thus choosing the most favourable spaces for networking and exchanging.

Richard Florida has also highlighted the differential advantages of the city to start new entrepreneurial activities with an innovative character. Technologybased products and innovative services are increasingly multi-disciplinary and require a wide range of knowledge. They benefit from a cross-cutting collaboration with users and early adopters.

Local leadership is increasingly relevant when: Orchestrating innovation ecosystems with the required diversity of stakeholders (companies, universities, R&Dcentres, public bodiesâ&#x20AC;Ś). Facilitating and promoting the relationship networks between them. Fostering knowledge infrastructures that build its basic framework.

Hybrid urban spaces that favour diversity and interaction can be real innovation poles for the creation of wealth.
