A new Ericsson ConsumerLab report looks at what makes a city a desirable place to live.
Among the findings is that people in megacities give mobile network coverage the fourth-highest satisfaction rating, alongside water distribution and the availability of social spaces, ranging from cafés to entertainment facilities. On the other hand, poor air quality and lack of parking lead to dissatisfaction.

Smart cities-what's in it for citizens report: Smart Cities Technologies Give...DESMOND YUEN
The concept of “smart cities,” which employs Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as connected sensors, meters and lights to collect and analyze data to improve public infrastructure and services, holds the promise to dramatically change the way citizens live, work and get around. But is there a way to tangibly measure these benefits?
Yes, there is. An Intel-sponsored study by Juniper Research estimates that smart cities have the potential to “give back” a remarkable 125 hours to every resident every year. Additionally, the study ranks the top 20 smart cities worldwide across four key areas: mobility, health care, public safety and productivity, and reveals how these cities deliver positive outcomes for increased time savings and productivity, increases in health and overall quality of life, and a safer environment.

New Media Technologies and the City Spaces - EssayBeatriz Cebas
In the following essay I will explore how media technologies are transforming our experience of city spaces focusing in two different aspects. First of them will be the new ways of consumption based on the propagation of smartphones. The second is
the power of the social network Twitter in citizen movements providing the example
of the current Spanish Revolution.
Today’s citizens have high expectations of authorities and public safety agencies, and where these expectations are not being met they are increasingly using the internet and smartphones for their own personal safety. A new Ericsson ConsumerLab report has investigated smartphone users’ views on public safety in five cities.

From healthcare to homecare: The critical role of 5G in healthcare transforma...Ericsson Latin America
Today, consumers have the power to take control of their health through smartphone apps, wearables and other connected devices – and it has never been easier to lose weight, improve sleep, count calories and get fit. This kind of simple, immediate access is also changing consumer attitudes and expectations when it comes to healthcare. Here we explore the transformation across three healthcare situations: preventative, routine and post-operative care.
Merged Reality: Understanding how virtual and augmented realities could trans...Ericsson Latin America
Incorporating technology into our everyday lives is quickly becoming the norm. The World Economic Forum calls the idea of merging the real with the digital – the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Virtual and augmented realities could encourage a similar technological revolution – one where consumers transition between virtual and physical worlds effortlessly for their everyday life activities.
However, in their current form, virtual and augmented technologies collide rather than merge with our physical reality. Today the bulky headsets cut off the user from their surroundings, as well as hinder mobility, and a highly interactive VR experience can induce nausea for some users.
Consumers expect next-generation networks like 5G to address these challenges and enrich shared experiences by providing a fast and high-bandwidth network.
In this Ericsson ConsumerLab report, we explore the impact of these imminent changes on consumer lifestyles, from the perspective of early adopters, laggards and consumers who are planning to use a headset in the future. We also look at the enabling role that next-generation networks like 5G could play.
A rede principal 5G permite uma grande variedade de serviços e casos de uso inovadores, criando novos fluxos de renda aos fornecedores de serviços e a produção otimizada ao custo desses serviços. Muitos aspectos de implementação da rede principal 5G são inspirados pelo setor de web em grande escala (web-scale), o que permite o lançamento ágil e contínuo de novos serviços e a produção de serviços de baixo custo por meio de um alto grau de automação e uma estrutura muito expansível, compartilhada entre vários serviços.
La red central 5G permite una gran variedad de casos de uso y servicios innovadores que crean nuevas cadenas de ingresos para los proveedores de servicios, así como una producción optimizada de costos de dichos servicios.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
2. Nowadays, more and more people are opting
to live in cities. There are many reasons for this,
often stemming from the desire to seek out more
varied opportunities for work, social time and
personal development.
A lot of research exists on why people choose to
move to the city, but far less is known about how
people feel once they live there. This report is
designed to provide some insight into what makes
a city a desirable place to live, how contented
people are when living there, and what factors
are primarily responsible for causing stress
and unhappiness.
The purpose of this is to provide Ericsson and
other players in Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) with the insight necessary to
develop solutions which will improve life in
cities globally.

of the opportunities available to
them and to ease the challenges
of everyday life.

48 percent of people from
13 big cities around the world
feel satisfied with their lives in
the city. In Stockholm and
Mumbai, approximately 70
percent claim to be satisfied.
4. THE PATH TO
SATISFACTION
Our study compares results from 13 large cities around the
world. 48 percent of city dwellers claim to be satisfied with their
lives in the city, compared to 25 percent who claim not to be.
Those who show the highest satisfaction levels are people
living in Stockholm, Mumbai, Johannesburg, New York, Tokyo,
London and Los Angeles. Those who show the lowest overall
satisfaction are found in Hong Kong and Seoul.
We see that people who live in cities are most satisfied with
the abundance of restaurants, cafés, pubs, shopping malls,
supermarkets and entertainment facilities. Other factors rated
highly include the mobile network and water distribution. The
areas people are least satisfied with are traffic and parking, air
quality, overall cleanliness and the manner of communication
used by authorities.
Today, around 50 percent of city dwellers use their mobile
phones every day to connect to the internet, and around
40 percent own a smartphone. They depend on the mobile
network for both business and personal use. An efficient
network is important not just for smartphone usage, but
because it has the potential to make life easier for people.
Moving about in the city can be unpredictable, even hazardous.
By having access to online information and services, people
are not only better able to take advantage of what the city
has to offer; they are also better equipped to
deal with unexpected eventualities.

A QUESTION
OF WHO
YOU ARE
Understandably, not
everyone feels the same
way about where they
live. Demographics play a
major role in determining
what aspects of city life
people are most/least
satisfied with.
Our results show that
in general, women are
slightly happier living in
cities than men. This is
especially true of Mumbai
and Tokyo. Additionally,
students and well-educated
white collar
workers tend to be the
happiest demographic
group in cities, whereas
unemployed people are
the least satisfied of all.
This indicates that those
who feel the most fulfilled
are likely to be the most
satisfied – a trend which
is particularly prevalent
in cities compared
to elsewhere.
Age can also play a role
in satisfaction levels,
depending on where you
are. According to this
study, young people are
happier than older people
in Cairo and Seoul, in
contrast to Mumbai,
Stockholm and Tokyo
where older people are
largely the most content.

6 ERICSSON CONSUMERLAB CITY LIFE
Taken as a whole, among the measured factors, the
one showing highest correlation to happiness with life
in the city is the perceived abundance of clean, green
parks and public spaces.
One of the main differences of opinion can be found in
the area of traffic congestion and parking. Here we can
observe a clear connection between dissatisfaction
and usage: those who regularly use transport systems
are the ones who are most dissatisfied with them.
Interestingly, when it comes to education and health
care, we can see a very different attitude. Compared
to other demographics, students are the most satisfied
with education. Similarly, elderly people appear to be
more satisfied with non-emergency health care than
most. However, when it comes to matters of safety,
parents tend to be the hardest to please.
We know that living in the city can be emotionally
challenging. Feeling trapped, monitored or stressed are
all common side-effects, largely due to overcrowding.
As a result, many feel that they would be better off
living elsewhere.
This kind of claustrophobia is most prevalent in
Mumbai, Cairo, Beijing, Hong Kong and Seoul.
Cities with the lowest levels of claustrophobia
include Stockholm, Moscow, Tokyo and New York.

Inner city travel is an inescapable
part of everyday life for many people
in cities, and one that often results
in being late for work and other
appointments – inevitably causing
high levels of stress and frustration.
City dwellers spend an average of
2 hours and 20 minutes each day
traveling the city. For people in
Moscow the average amount of time
spent traveling per day is 3 hours and
30 minutes, whereas for people in
Stockholm the average is just 2 hours.
In most big cities, the traffic and
parking situation is the one which
causes the most stress in daily life.

Many commuters worldwide believe that the only way
to improve the commuting experience is through access
to more flexible information on their mobile phones. In
some cities, authorities are already working to improve
the availability of real-time traffic data and public
information to mobile devices. The information can then
be incorporated into applications which help people to
navigate the cities during busy periods.
This system is already being implemented
in Boston, New York, London and Stockholm.

8. TRAFFIC CREATES TRAFFIC
Smartphones are most heavily used during rush hour.
In general, public transport is seen to be less stressful
than driving, particularly in Tokyo and Seoul. However,
as the number of people living in cities grows, more
and more people will be using roads and public
transport, making the system even more crowded
than before. Our research demonstrates that this is
an area in which ICT could be used to make life easier
for commuters, by providing real-time traffic and
transport schedule updates.

Knowing the ways in which people choose to commute
helps us to determine what services they would find
the most beneficial.
For example, people who commute by bike would
benefit from knowing where they can use cycle lanes.
Those who use public transport would benefit from
real-time updated timetables and travel planners.
Or, for those who drive, a GPS travel planner
with access to real-time traffic data would save
considerable time and stress.
In Los Angeles most people tend to commute by car,
whereas in Hong Kong most travel by public transport.
In Moscow, many people choose to travel on foot
or by bike.

Socializing with friends and family/relatives somewhere else
Online socializing with friends and family/relatives
It’s a fact: those who live
in big city centers spend
much more time socializing
with friends around town
than those who live in
rural or suburban areas.
Big cities are hotbeds for
creativity, bringing together
people from all walks of
life. The sheer number of
social opportunities is part
of what makes life in a big
city so alluring.
However, people living in
city centers also spend
less time with their
spouses and partners.
This could be linked to the
fact that people tend to
move out of city centers
when they have children:
people with children
probably spend more time
with their families, and
therefore their spouses.
The average city dweller
spends 2 hours and
30 minutes socializing
on an average weekday,
45 minutes of which are
spent socializing online.
The cities where people
spend the most time
socializing are São Paulo,
Moscow and Cairo.
Comparatively, people
in Seoul spend less time
socializing and more
time at work. Those we
interviewed in Cairo spent
the largest amount of
time socializing online,
with the average time
totaling approximately
1 hour and 10 minutes per
day. However, it should
be noted that those
interviewed in Cairo were
generally more familiar
with technology than the
average Egyptian person.

10. CREATIVE
COLLECTIVE HUBS
Cities are hubs for socially
networked creativity.
Online social networking sites are
regularly used by people in cities,
with the average person using 2 social
networks. However, many in Beijing,
Mumbai, Moscow, São Paulo and Cairo
claim to be active on 3 or more. These
social networks are usually accessed
3-5 times a day, with young people
accessing them more often at roughly
6 times a day.
Where you live can affect the number of
friends you have on your social network.
Our study shows that people living in city
centers have more online friends than
those in suburban areas, and that people
living in São Paulo, Johannesburg and
Cairo have the most online friends.
Staying up-to-date with friends and
family – and keeping them up-to-date
– are still the most common activities.
However, the world of online social
networking is growing. The third most
common activity is to connect and
exchange ideas with others, in effect
turning cities into hubs for socially
networked creativity.

This is particularly pronounced in Tokyo,
where we carried out a deep dive on
the socio-cultural effects of the Tōhoku
earthquake in March 2011. The results
pointed to a significantly increased need
for crowd-sourced information solutions.
Around 30 percent also use social
networks as a primary source of
information about what is going on in
their city or around the world. This is
most prominent in Beijing and Cairo.
