2. STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR SMART CITY BERLIN
 Berlin is growing. By the year 2030, there will be 250,000 more people living in the
city than there are today.
 This will bring with it an increase in the demand for housing as well as in
requirements for mobility, the adaptation of infrastructures and the availability of
resources such as water, energy, data and building land.
 Like many major urban centres around the world, this means that Berlin is also facing
a wide variety of challenges for the future: the growing city, the aging city or the city
in the midst of structural change all require inter-disciplinary and inter-departmental
approaches if solutions are to be found.
 The Smart City approach aims to find solutions to the ecological, social, economic
and cultural challenges faced by Berlin through the use of intelligent technology.

3. 1. BERLIN’S UNDERSTANDING OF THE SMART CITY CONCEPT
• An increasing number of cities and metropolitan areas around the world are
embracing the “Smart City” concept.
• This trend has been set in motion by the rapid development and widespread
proliferation of increasingly powerful digital information and communication
technologies (ICT).
• Today, these technologies have opened up what seems to be an almost endless array
of technical possibilities for using sensors to automatically gather information about
processes and events within the urban environment and for converting this
information into digital data.
• The relatively inexpensive availability of technologically more powerful and
increasingly miniaturized sensors, processors and actuators , together with rapid
advances in the capabilities, transmission

4. THE GOALS OF SMART CITY BERLIN
• A reduction in the use of finite resources; the establishment of the use of renewable energies; an
increase in resource efficiency and the climate neutrality of Berlin by the year 2050.
• A minimisation of the negative side-effects of living in a densely populated urban environment, such
as environmental pollution, stress-related illnesses or a diminished feeling of personal safety .
• The creation of a lead market for innovative applications
• Further networking on a regional, national and international level
• The long-term securing and optimising of public services through public administration, municipal
enterprises and social bodies
• An increase in the quality of life and location
• An increase in opportunities for greater social participation
