• Founded in 2008, 390 members
• Representing the building sector: developers, investors, consultants, end-users etc
• BREEAM-NL Scheme Operator
Data and alignment of data is key
• SMART indicators: ‘you can’t improve what you can’t measure’
• ‘One common language on sustainability’
• Challenge: growing set of ESG indicators
• Rating systems, EPBD, CSRD, EU-Taxonomy

Benefits for the authorities
• Local authorities: enforcement based on metered energy
• Remote: from smart meter readings
• Scalable: no capacity to visit every building
• Government: monitoring climate goals of the building sector

35. How can smart city initiatives help
cities reach net-zero objectives and
become climate neutral?
OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship Roundtable

Marion Lagadic, Project Manager Innovation at the ITF Research Centre
36. • Transport sector: 23% of global
energy-related CO2 emissions
• Urban transport accounts for more than
40% of the sector’s total emissions.
Smart cities, smart mobility:
What are the expectations?
36
New mobility solutions Seamless mobility Efficiency gains
e.g. Dockless e-scooters are
expected to induce shift and
intermodality
• Mode shift from private
cars around 8%/10%
(Europe) to 15% (US) or
24% (NZ) – low mode
share overall
• Intermodality with PT:
15% (Paris) to 57% (Oslo)
e.g. MaaS should offer
seamless travel to
encourage mode shift
• Small-scale experiments
suggest MaaS increases
PT use
• MaaS is less attractive to
car-users
e.g. data-based PT and
traffic management
solutions
• Improvements in travel
time, limitations in
congestion
• Safety improvements
• Example: TOPIS in Seoul

37. • Reinventing mobility governance:
new stakeholders, new temporalities,
new skills
• Striking the right balance: with
too stringent or misguided
regulation, the market will not
develop; without regulation, risk of
unfair competition
• Need for capacity-building to
support, develop and regulate data-
enabled solutions
The true challenge: reaping
these benefits
37
Dockless shared e-scooters
• No infrastructure: new regulation needed to
avoid clutter and ease intermodality
• Fleet caps, license caps: striking the right
balance implies knowing the market
MaaS
• Risk of unfair competition and market lock-
in without the right data infrastructure
• Public sector-led MaaS: the challenge of
keeping up with innovation
38. Built environment

• Data, while immaterial,

• Some governments have
acknowledged the

mobility data (e.g. MODI in
Switzerland)
• Three pillars for cities to
consider: data sharing, data
reporting, and machine-
readable regulation
Source: ITF (2023) Mix and MaaS: Data Architecture for Mobility as a Service
40. 1. For smart solutions to contribute to an
inclusive transition to sustainable mobility,
cities should treat data as a foundational
infrastructure.
2. Need for a cross-sectoral vision for data
governance: the transport sector seeks to
address similar issues as those faced by
the energy, health, finance sectors

87. Challenges to Building Smart Cities in Asia-Pacific
A digital divide persists through uneven
access and varying levels of digital
literacy
Viable finance for smart city solutions
remains a challenge
Governance systems that are not sufficiently
integrated (vertically / horizontally) to take full
advantage of smart city solutions
Lack of public trust in data protection
Lack of robust systems to protect from
cyber security threats
Lack of interoperability leads to
fragmented service delivery at local
levels and a lack of communication
Infrastructure development requires
substantial investments
ECAP is implementing the Smart
Cities Innovation Lab (SCIL) project
focusing on enhancing the innovation
ecosystem, as well as working with
other member states to develop
national smart city policy

90. Policy Recommendations
1. Improve smart city governance across urban systems, institutions, and
actors to overcome inequalities and make more informed and integrated
planning decisions
2. Support upgrading of existing infrastructure & building new infrastructure
to support smart city initiatives
3. Encourage start-ups and technology firms to become more civic-minded
and create sustainable smart city solutions with social enterprises
4. Adopt cybersecurity safeguards in both digital and physical urban
infrastructure development planning
5. Develop smart mobility investment plans that prioritize sustainable urban
mobility options for citizens
6. Expand viable smart city funding mechanisms by enabling cross-sector
partnerships and business matching platforms
7. Develop climate-smart action plans that integrate inclusive digitalization
into mitigation and adaptation measures, including providing enabling national
environment for smart action plans to be implemented Make cities and human
settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable

• Virtual Singapore integrates GIS data with buildings
information, modelling data to replicate the city’s infrastructure,
transport systems and buildings.
• In addition to providing static information like any other map,
Virtual Singapore is updated with dynamic real-time data, e.g.
on traffic and weather.
• The digital twin supports decision-making:
- Where rooftop has most potential
- Mapping of optimal evacuation routes
- Where energy efficiency interventions have most value
- Where to set up mixed-use zones to flatten demand

- How to optimise traffic flows

• There is more than one way to be smart
• Net-zero is a powerful objective that can help federate energies
• The best way to promote it is to start with citizen’s problems
• Cities can learn from each other’s expériences
• On net zero as in other areas, cities will move faster than nations
Exchanges of experiences amomg cities wil be key

158. • During the Period supported by the Central Government, the solution is
successfully operated. But, when the support period ends, the operation of
the solution was also Stopped.
• The Reasons are:
(1) Difficulties in Securing Operational Funding for New Solutions
(2) The burden of organizing a new organization to operate the new
solution
and the resistance from the existing organization
(3) Potential escalation of conflicts resulting from the introduction of new
solutions
• Smart City Index should consider the Operational Capacity of the local
government and the Flexibility to accept new solutions for Scale-Up and
Sustainability
