The EU Smart Urban Strategy aims to transform European cities and communities as future-proof human-oriented settlements:
intelligent and sustainable, smart and innovative, locally and globally attractive for businesses, citizens, visitors and investors.
Each Community and City is projected to be managed by an open intelligent management iCITY platform as a communal digital
dashboard for its connected critical areas and systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy
networks and Utilities, ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure, Public and residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water
and Waste management, Social infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and culture, Public administration and services.
The EU Smart Urban Strategy is a key part of the Smart Green Europe Investment Plan presented to the newly-elected EC
President Juncker and his new Commission for adoption.

04/06/2015
 To start a sustainable recovery, EUROPE has to pursue a holistic model of sustainable community
development dealing with challenges in an integrated way, with the 21 st
century models of governance and
administration.
 The “Smart Green Europe” (aka, i-Europe Platform) enables a centralized intelligent management of
knowledge, ideas, people, goods, services, and capital, transnational physical, people, financial and digital
flows.
The EC is expected to adopt the “Smart Green Europe” Strategy for further translating into smart
government plans, policies, programs, schemes and services, because of its great benefit and utility, see
as attached.
 The i-Europe is to integrate the current architecture of the Europe 2020 programs and instruments, policy
areas, as well as its large scale projects of common interest, as Galileo, ITER, GMES, etc., as the pan-
European Strategic Investment Framework implementing the principles of the EU budget 2014-2020 (EUR 1
trillion MFF & 1.1 trillion Asset Purchase/Bond Buying/QE Program).
 The i-Europe Platform enables building integrated intelligent trans-European infrastructures, considering:
“€200 billion is needed to complete the trans-European energy networks, €540 billion needs to be
invested in the trans-European transport network, and over € 250 billion in ICT for the period 2014-2020”.
 To start building i-Europe Platform, we ask you to make your political decision and secure funding for
developing its first demonstration projects for massive rollout and setting standards and policy frameworks:
 1. I-City Pan-European Governance Platform (to develop the urban systems and infrastructures of tomorrow, the Urban Europe
Development Platform is proposed, as part of the i-EUROPE Platform. It’ could serve as a Common Governance System for 20 -
25 Smart City lighthouse projects, each with 6-10 cities, and an Urban Development Platform of 300 Sustainable cities within
EU Funding 2014-2020)
 2. I-Horizon System (The I-Europe Research and Innovation System: a Smart Horizon System, A Common Strategic Framework for
research, innovation and technological development, see slide 20)

 1. What are the main rationales for an EU urban agenda? Where can EU action bring most added value?
What elements of urban development would benefit from a more concerted approach between different
sectors and levels of governance?
 Building European Smart Cities of the Future.
 2. Should an EU urban agenda focus on a limited number of urban challenges? Or, should an EU urban
agenda provide a general framework to focus attention on the urban dimension of EU policies across the
board, strengthening coordination between sectoral policies, city, national and EU actors?
 A General Framework, a comprehensive holistically designed smart city development programs, as suggested in the Smart
Cities Global Initiative.
 3. Is the European model of urban development as expressed in "Cities of Tomorrow" a sufficient basis to
take the work on the EU urban agenda further?
 It needs to be combined with the Europe Smart Urban Strategy.
 4. How can urban stakeholders better contribute to the policy development and implementation processes
at EU level? Do cities need to be more involved in policymaking at regional, national and EU level? How?
 They need to be actively involved in the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities, its Action Clusters Work
 5. What are the best ways to support a stronger urban and territorial knowledge base and exchange of
experience? What specific elements of the knowledge base need to be strengthened in order to better
support policymaking?
 Via the EU Smart Cities Stakeholder Platform, developing the i-Europe Urban Governance System
 6. What should be the roles of the local, regional, national and EU levels in the definition, development
and implementation of an EU urban agenda?
 Cities and citizens must have a leading role. There should be created the Smart Urban Europe Concept and Policy, Standards
and Regulations, involving the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities, its Action Cluster Integrated
Planning, Policy, Regulation and Management, as well as the Cities of Tomorrow Group.

 Based on (a) the major EU political priorities (i.e., the Jobs, Growth and Investment Agenda; the Energy Union
Strategy; the Digital Single Market, Migration and Democratic Change); (b) the input given by stakeholders
through the public consultation; (c) Member States urban agenda priorities; (d) the priorities agreed jointly by
cities, the Member States and the Commission in the programming of the European Structural and
Investment Funds6; and (e) the wider framework of Cities of Tomorrow; the following areas appear as
priorities:
 1. Smart cities: an upgraded and more holistic Smart Cities and Communities agenda as a tool to better
integrate and connect energy, transport, water, waste and a broader ICT dimension (encompassing skills,
sectors and technologies), anchored in a wider urban development context and integrating new innovative
solutions that contribute to its objective.
 2. Green Cities: the urban dimension of the 7th environmental action plan focusing on the potential of
green infrastructure and nature-based solutions to the climate and environmental related challenges of
urban development.
 3. Inclusive cities: supporting urban physical and economic regeneration to fight urban poverty and build
equitable cities for all regardless of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual
orientation, as well as addressing the challenges of migration, affordable housing and the socio-economic
integration of marginalised communities.
 These areas are not to work independently and in isolation from each other, and their impact on economic,
environmental, climate, demographic, social and territorial issues need to be understood and considered.
Good (city) governance and (urban) innovation are two key horizontal dimensions that need to be understood
and promoted across all three areas.

 About 70% of the EU population lives in metropolitan regions, generating about 70% of the EU’s GDP.
 Cities are the engines of the European economy as well as the drivers for economic development, creativity, innovation and
new technologies.
 The key dimensions of urban life – environmental, economic, social and cultural – are closely interconnected, demanding an
integrated urban development approach.
 Policies and Measures concerning physical urban renewal must be combined with measures promoting education, economic
development, social inclusion and environmental protection.
 The development of strong partnerships between local citizens, civil society, the local economy and the various levels of
government is another precondition to meet the challenges European cities currently face.
 These challenges range from specific demographic changes to all the effects economic stagnation as increasing joblessness
and social progress decline, unemployment, segregation and poverty and climate change.
 The response to these challenges will be critical for achieving the smart, sustainable, inclusive society envisaged in the Europe
2020 Strategy.
 European cities should be places of advanced social progress and environmental regeneration, as well as places of attraction
and engines of economic growth based on a holistic integrated approach in which all aspects of sustainability are taken into
account.
 As a basic principle, the European Commission for Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 aims to support sustainable urban development
through integrated investment strategies via the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund
(ESF), “to support measures related to employment, education, social inclusion and institutional capacity…”.
 In all, the EU is looking for a strategic, holistic, and integrated approach to sustainable urban and territorial development>>>.

 The goal of the Smart City Comprehensive Strategy is to enhance urban wealth, performance and
competitiveness, and promoting smart innovation and creativity, education, art and medicine, science and
technology, industry and commerce, transportation and mobility, social communications and public
administration and environment conservation.
 In all, Sustainable Community or Smart City are to be renewed as cyber-physical territorial ecosystems with
interdependent urban systems: sustainable land and environment, smart people, interconnected info- and
infrastructure and intelligent government.
 The whole future community redevelopment is guided by the holistic models of sustainable urban planning
progressing towards a set of interconnected targets, measures and indicators on an integrated local
sustainability plan: sustainable land-environment-energy-information-transportation-water-waste action plans
 SMART TERRITORIES OF THE FUTURE: The EU Smart Communities and Cities Prototype: 3.0 City, from Dumb to
Intelligent Cities. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/30-cityeu-prototype

 A Sustainable City is to be indicated as a city implementing integrated and innovative actions for sustainable urban
development with delegated management in the Partnership Contract and the Operational Programmes to have the EU CSF
Funding 2014- 2020 benefits:
 Ring-fencing funding for integrated sustainable urban development A minimum of 5 % of the ERDF resources
allocated to each Member State shall be invested in integrated actions for sustainable urban development implemented
through the Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) tool, with the management and implementation delegated to cities (Article 7
paragraph 2 of the proposed ERDF regulation).
 The form and degree of the delegation of the management to the cities may vary according to the institutional arrangements of
each Member State.
 The cities implementing integrated actions for sustainable urban development with delegated management should be included
in a list accompanying the Partnership Contracts (Article 7, paragraph 2) and the operational programme (Article 87, paragraph
2 [c]). These lists are indicative and could be modified during the course of the programming period.
 Urban Development Platform: Based on a list of cities prepared by Member States in their Partnership Contract, the
Commission will establish an Urban Development Platform comprising 300 cities throughout Europe, which will stimulate
a more policy-oriented dialogue on urban development between the cities at European level and the Commission.
 It is not a funding instrument, but rather a mechanism for making the contribution of cities under cohesion policy to the Europe
2020 Strategy more visible, facilitating integrated and innovative actions for sustainable urban development and capitalising
on the results (Article 8 of the proposed ERDF regulation).
 Operations supported by several funds, multi-fund Operational Programmes and cross-financing: The
implementation of integrated urban development strategies will be enhanced by the possibility to combine actions financed by
ERDF, ESF and CF either at programme or operation level.
 Cross-financing between ERDF and ESF of a part of an operation (up to 5 % of each priority axis of an Operational Programme)
will remain to complement the multi-fund approach (Article 55, paragraph 8 and 88 of the proposed Common Provisions for
CSF Funds 2014-2020).
 The Scale and Scope of ITI: the financing of integrated actions is to be ranging from neighbourhood or district level to
functional areas such as city-regions or metropolitan areas – including neighbouring rural areas.
 Besides, the innovative urban actions (0,2% of the total ERDF allocation) are supported as urban pilot projects, demonstration
projects, etc., covering all thematic objectives and investment priorities.

 FUTURE COMMUNITY activities could be cross-classified by strategies, scales, motivations (social, economic or ecological),
financial models, ownership or initiator, greenfield or brownfield, business model or driving industrial sector, or driving
technology, as:
1. CLASS I. Smart City of full sustainability (PPP turnkey urban greenfield project with a global smart city plan, all
functional areas and all aspects of urban life are covered by an all-encompassing and all-inclusive Master Development Plan of

Health, Education, Tourism, Mobility, Energy, etc.);
4. CLASS IV. Closed government-led PPP ecosystem projects, usually no comprehensive urban master plan
 An IT smart city relies on information and communications technologies, including mobile networks, to improve the quality of life of its
citizens in a sustainable way. It combines and shares disparate data sets captured by intelligently-connected infrastructure, people and
vehicles, to generate new insights and provide ubiquitous services that enable citizens to access information about city services and move
around easily, improve the efficiency of city operations, enhance security, fuel economic activity and increase resilience to natural
disasters. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/creating-the-future-tomorrows-world

 On 10 July 2012, the European Commission launched the Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership under the responsibility of
Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, Sustainable and Secure Society, Smart Cities and Sustainability. The
partnership proposes to pool resources to support the demonstration of energy, transport and information and communication technologies (ICT) in
urban areas: C(2012)4701 final, 10.7.2012
 The energy, transport and ICT industries are invited to work together with cities to combine their technologies to address cities' needs. This will enable
innovative, integrated and efficient technologies to roll out and enter the market more easily, while placing cities at the centre of innovation. The funding
will be awarded through yearly calls for proposals under "Horizon 2020", the new research and innovation funding framework under the next Multiannual
Financing Framework (MFF 2014-2020).

 Definition and Goals:
 Smart Cities are defined as systems of people interacting with and using flows of energy, materials, services and financing to catalyse
sustainable economic development, resilience, and high quality of life; these flows and interactions become smart through making
strategic use of information and communication infrastructure and services in a process of transparent urban planning and management
that is responsive to the social and economic needs of society.
 Goals: 1. negotiate obstacles to smart cities, to co-fund demonstration projects and to help coordinate existing city initiatives and projects,
by pooling its resources together; 2. establish strategic partnerships between industry, financial institutions, and European cities to
develop the urban systems and infrastructures of tomorrow; 3. combine ICT, energy management and transport management to create
innovative solutions to the major urban environmental, societal and health challenges.

the themes of Decisions, Insight, and Financing.
 Eleven inter-dependent priority areas are considered to
be the most important concerning Smart Cities and
Communities, and the intersection with the areas of
energy, transport and ICT, as in the diagram, Priority
Areas.
 Each priority area is to be specified against: context and
challenges; drivers and goals; and actions to perform.

 Europe’s future depends on its Cities and Communities of tomorrow, which are key to the sustainable
development of the European Union as a smart green transnational community.
 European cities should be critical in the Union policies aiming to create growth, jobs and a sustainable
future, being centres of population and economic development, services, knowledge and creativity, as well
as the places of social polarization and inequalities, intercultural confrontations, poverty concentration,
unemployment and environmental problems.
 To secure the sustainable and smart development of cities, the EC launched the Smart Cities and
Communities Initiative in 2012 under the responsibility of the European Innovation Partnership and its 6
Action Clusters.
 The “Smart Green Europe” implies developing European Cities and Communities as being committed to an
overall sustainability, environmental, economic, social, geopolitical and technological, as guided by the
Smart Eco Life Philosophy.
 It will make key part of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities Market Place implementing eco-smart
innovative actions, pilot projects and demonstration projects of EU significance., highlighting the territorial
corehency of urban and rural areas
 The “Smart Eco Europe” cities and communities will be developed/redeveloped as intelligent territorial
ecosystems of people interacting with the circular flows of information, energy, materials, services and
financing to catalyse intelligent sustainable development, resilience, and high quality of life; becoming eco
intelligent through strategic use of advanced information and communications infrastructure and services
in a process of integrated policy, regulations, planning and management as responsive to the ecological,
technological, cultural, social and economic needs of society.
 The i-Europe future cities and communities are to adopt an integrated, coherent and all-comprehensive
growth approach (across sectors, governance levels and territories) in their vision of the future (to strive
for), the foresight strategy (to get their), unified planning and coordinated development (to implement),
embracing the social, economic, environmental and territorial dimensions of urban, national and regional
development.
 The Investment Plan for Europe to support Smart Cities development projects are to involve the
committed municipalities and communities for
integrated smart territorial development of urban areas and rural regions : Italy (369);·Spain (267);·
France (82);·Portugal (65);·Germany (64);·Greece (62);·Romania (42);·Sweden (42);·United Kingdom (32);

 To deploy smart city solutions across urban mobility; districts and built environment; and integrated
infrastructures, reaching Europe's 20/20/20 energy and climate targets, the concept of Smart City
”Lighthouse Initiatives” is to be implemented, requesting collaboration between the European Commission,
Member States and Industry, as well as cities and research institutions.
 Over the next 7 years, a portfolio of at least 20 - 25 lighthouse projects is to be created: each with 6-10 cities
(and partners), with the potential for Europe-wide roll out – dependent on levels of commitment, and access
to / creation of funds.
 Successful lighthouse initiatives will provide a solid foundation and give confidence to other cities, in the
knowledge they can apply tested solutions (and that have already attracted investment) – that will be better,
faster, and cheaper to implement a Europe-wide deployment of Smart City concepts. .
 Implementation principles to be guided: close city–industry collaboration; outcome and user-centric
approach to service design; open governance and information principles; inclusive and balanced SME
participation; integration of physical and digital infrastructures; actively seek to innovate, learn, and share
knowledge; collaborative governance.

 This Regulation establishes a European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), an EU guarantee and an EU guarantee fund. In
addition, this Regulation establishes a European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH) and a transparent directory of current and
potential future investment projects of the Union…
 The EFSI should support strategic investments with high economic and societal value added contributing to achieving Union
policy objectives, such as, but not limited to, projects of common interest which aim to complete the single market in the
sectors of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructures, including transport and energy interconnections, and
digital infrastructure, expand renewable energy and energy and resource efficiency, and to develop and modernise the energy
sector, increase its competitiveness and enhance the security of energy supply, including the use of local energy resources, and
contribute to sustainable development, and exploit potential synergies between those sectors;
 in the urban and rural development and social fields;
 in the environmental and natural resources fields;
 and which strengthen the European scientific and technological base and foster benefits for society as well as better
exploitation of the economic and industrial potential of policies of innovation, research and technological development,
including research infrastructure, pilot and demonstration facilities.
 The EFSI should improve access to finance and the competitiveness of enterprises and other entities, with special emphasis on
SMEs.
 The EFSI should contribute to the transformation to a green, sustainable and resource efficient economy and to sustainable job
creation.

 As the cities, regions and corridors get
aggregated, this will necessitate the
development of Smart Cities to increase the
urban performance, wealth, productivity, and
wellbeing.
 Given the tendency of integration of the core city
with its suburbs (suburbanization or urban
sprawl), and daughter cities (city networking),
there are 3 types of intelligent growth for large
European Capitals, as London, Paris, Berlin,
Madrid, etc.:
 Metropolis, or Mega City: Integration of
core or capital city with suburbs, downtowns and
local communities.
 Mega Region: Integration of two or more cities
or expansion of city to join with neighbouring
cities to form a Mega Region.
 Mega Corridor: Urbanization Corridors
connecting two or more Mega Cities or Mega
Regions, converging to form a Mega Corridor,
distinguished by the following features>>>>
 World class urban infrastructures and facilities
 Integrated Infrastructure of Fiber Telecommunications,
Green Roads, Clean Energy , Intelligent Transportation, and
Ubiquitous Mobile Networks

and permits, utility bills, payments, GIS data on assets,
utilities and facilities (underground cables, pipes, water
mains), transit services, traffic maps, crime reports,
emergency warnings, cultural events, social services, etc.
Often the sustainability and smartness of a city is partially
defined by 6 isolated index categories, with numerous
indicators and variables:
 Smart Economy Brookings Institute Global Metro Monitor
and Ocean Tomo’s Inventive Cities.
 Smart Environment: Siemens Green City Index;
Clean Tech Index;

 More cities, national governments, international organizations and transnational corporations are increasingly viewing the
smart city concept as the base of sustainable growth, and the best solution for the challenges of world’s urbanization.
 China’s future “smart cities” are to become a main driver of its urbanization process, with 2 trillion yuan ($322 billion) set to
allocated to more than 600 cities nationwide.
 The Japanese Government created a “FutureCity” with a goal to “construct sustainable cities with superior environmental
technologies, core infrastructure and resilience all over the world…to advance the “Future City” model of urban planning with
state-of-the-art environmental sustainability, strong disaster resilience and superb livability”.
 Russia’s expenses just for its first intelligent model community (Skolkovo Innovation Center) might exceed $15 billion, not
mentioning it’s planned multibillion transportation infrastructure projects.
 Currently, there are thousands of cities and communities trying to apply various smart technologies and sustainable solutions
for improving the quality of communal environment, infrastructure, life and governance.
 On top of this, a number of innovative urban projects ab novo are currently being carried out around the globe in order to
discover a core prototype model for future communities.
 In its top 10 Mega Trends, Frost & Sullivan predicts that over 40 Global Cities to be SMART Cities in 2020 - More than 50% of
Smart cities of 2025 will be from Europe and North America, and China and India to see over 50 New “Sustainable” Cities (Top
20 Mega Trends and Their Impact on Business, Cultures and Society).
 EU is planning 20 - 25 lighthouse projects, each with 6-10 cities, as well as an Urban Development Platform of 300 cities
within CFS Funds 2014-2020 (about 5% of the ERDF resources).
 Long time being a global leader in advancing sustainable communities and smart intelligent cities, the EU might lose its leading
position allocating about $ 20-30 billion, added with a symbolic amount of Euro 200 million for the smart city program for next
2014-2015 under the 80 billion Euro Research Framework Program, Horizon 2020.
 In addition, the latest smart city call for proposals under FP7 (on 19 July 2012 with a total budget of € 375 million) virtually
failed: 4 proposals selected, 3 on reserve list (out of 15 submitted), having little to do with smart city integrated solutions...
 It all looks that the EC has to secure a comparable funding with China, getting it from investment banks , MFF, and Horizon
2020 (by redistributing its huge allocations to ERC).
