We are in the "urban millennium"
Population
• 2009: 50% of the world's population lives
in cities
• 2030: urban population will grow from
3.5 billion to 4.7 billion
Economy
• ~50% of global GDP is produced
in 600 cities
• By 2025, 40% of global GDP growth will
be generated by middleweight cities in
emerging markets
Environment
Cities stand for
• Two-thirds of the world's energy
• 60% of its drinking water
• Up to 70% of its CO2 emissions

5.
Efficient transportation of people and goods

Siemens insights into "how to become sustainable",
jointly developed with major world cities
A. Bouffioux Smart Cities – Unconvention 2013 – BrusselsPage 8
Perception
studies
Megacity Challenges
 Comprehensive analysis based on interviews with
over 500 city managers in 25 selected megacities
 Urban infrastructure trends and challenges as well
as global best practices
 Commissioned research to GlobScan and MRCMH
 Other studies: The Sustainable Cities Challenge in Canada,
ICT for City Management
Comparative
studies
 Green City Index (commissioned research to EIU)
 Index compares cities across 8 dimensions of
sustainability: CO2, Energy, Buildings, Transport,
Waste & Land Use, Water, Air, Governance
 Europe, Africa, North / South America, Asia, Germany
 Deep-Dives in infrastructure, e.g. Complete Mobility Index
Implemen-
tation
studies
 Sustainable urban infrastructure series
 "How to become a sustainable city" with focus on
measures for resource efficiency and CO2 abatement
 Examples: Dublin, London, Munich, Yekaterinburg,
Trondheim, ...

Siemens
 Small-scale, distributed energy sources
pooled & operated as single installation
 Improves reliability of planning &
forecasting decentralized sources
 Promotes efficient use of decentralized
energy, & greater diversity of sources
 Enables decentralized sources to
operate flexibly either as a single unit,
or in island-mode to serve a more
localized network
 Includes cogeneration modules (8MW),
hydropower & wind farm (12MW)
 Distributed Energy Management
