Editor's Notes
Titel der Präsentation
Zurich is the largest city of Switzerland with about 400 thousand citizens.
It is faced with a very wide spectrum of challenges. These are drivers for multiple strategies.
Let me mention a few of those challenges:
The growth in the population calls for densified construction practices and the preservation of the available range of amenities. Zurich is home to people with widely differing requirements that we have to cater to. And growth always makes it necessary to preserve natural resources and secure a sustainable energy supply. A further challenge is the global trend towards digitisation and the secure handling of data.
An important foundation is the “Zurich Strategies 2035”. They provide the City Council with long-term direction and orientation for its activities. The focus, thematic content and orientation of the Zurich Strategies 2035 is on the challenges that we currently anticipate that the city of Zurich will be grappling with in the next 20 years. They are grouped in eight topical areas, a total of 25 strategic objectives have been derived in line with the vision of Zurich as a sustainable metropolis in the heart of Europe. This strategy Zürich 2035 is the base for the smart city-strategy.
The central goal of being a smart city is:
Smart City Zürich ensures a high quality of life, Zürich as an attractive business location and a sustainable use of ressources in the growing city.

Mission
The City Administration is the public sponsorship of Smart City Zürich. It promotes the intelligent networking of people, objects and organizations, garantues the quality, the availabilty and the protection of information und data and enables the population, the economy, the science and the culture to do their best for innovation and participation.
Additionaly to the “Zurich Strategies 2035” the city uses thematic strategies to tackle the Smart City topics like Mobility, Health, Education, Environment and Energy. Therfore our Smart City Strategy does not have to address those challenges. We implement it as an enabler strategy, that supports the efforts of the city administration.
We defined four Guiding Principles that enable the city with all its strategies to get smarter.
Nbr 1: Citizen first: Use technology as a means to tackle existing challenges and satisfy people’s actual needs, instead of an end in itself
Nbr 2: Connectivity & Collaboration: The Smart City Zürich aims at an intelligent networking of people, objects and organizations.

Intelligent networking
Internal and external networking among the city administration (better cooperation, take advantage of synergies, creating an internal platform for data and knowledge, eGov-services, participation of the population…)
Networking in the city (outside the administration) (take more advantage of goods, profit from sharing-economy-offers, activating the civil society, create innovation by working together and sharing knowledge… )
Networking of objects (Internet of Things, efficient consumption of energy…)
Nbr 3: Data as resource: Smart City Zürich supports a reliable and open structure of data.

Availability ad protection of data
Availability of internal data (Principle of Open Government Data ODG, create more transparency, increase the using of public data)
Availability of external data (Principle of Open Government Data ODG, increase sharing and using of data)
Protection of data (informal right of self-determination, open discussion about evolution and relevant pilot projects)
Nbr 4: Space for experiments: Provide spaces for bold pilot projects, test new technologies and create positive examples of innovations.
Titel der Präsentation
The previously mentioned projects were all initiated by the city administration.
But in a Smart City, co-creation and collaboration play can play a valuable role.
Last year we supported the birth of a new event series called MakeZurich.
One important driver for becoming a Smart City is the broad availability of technology and data.
Thanks to mor sensing devices, their ability to communicate and the power to process huge amounts of data, we can find smart solutions to the callanges we face.
Today all the necessary components are openly available:
Sensing hardware like Arduino
LORA WAN networks like the one of The Things Network
Open data as provided by Open Data Zürich
And a large number of motivated people, who use this technology to make applications that make our lives better. We call them the Civic Tech Community.
The core of MakeZurich is a hackathon, where we bring all these disciplines together.
It was a huge success with lots of projects, prototypes and the opportunity to close the gap between the city administration and the civic tech community.
I can highly recomend to every administration, to promote co-creation and collaboration.
With these words I would like to thank you for your attention.
And I send you my best greeting from Switzerland to Japan.
