Connected and Sustainable ICT Infrastructure WhitepaperShane Mitchell
In the policies and plans for sustainability and eco-responsibility in cities, much attention has been directed to three sectors: the built environment, energy, and mobility.
At the beginning of the 21st century, it became obvious that a fourth, equally important element must be addressed: ICT.
To manage ICT effectively, cities need a common framework for data and performance, and a set of solutions for urban sustainability.

SMART ENERGY. The fundamental role of the energy sector in the Smart City Con...rnogues
Because cities are major CO2 emitters especially in Europe, America and Asia, this session focuses on analyzing future challenges to improve energy efficiency in order to meet commitments acquired by the EU member states by 2020. Within this session will explore the latest projects being implemented for energy production using renewable energies, the development of new models for managing electrical networks and existing commitment to technologies reducing energy consumption in cities with the aim of reducing their environmental impact. Therefore, we propose the following objectives for the session:
Present new unconventional energy sources that are environmentally friendly .
Introduce projects of mass-manufactured electric vehicles, tailored to the needs of users living in cities.
Present developments in the field of smart grids and new energy storage possibilities.
Determine the impact of new energy technologies to installations in which are applied as well as to the economy of cities.
Explain the new regulations on energy both European and national levels.
I developed this presentation as a member of the Union Square Redevelopment Civic Advisory Committee (CAC) and its Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee. The presentation was made to fellow CAC members, members of the public, Somerville City Government staff, US2 (the Master Developer) staff, and other group representatives including Union Square Main Streets, Union Square Neighbors, and the Union United Coalition on 7-14-15. The purpose of the talk is to present underlying concepts, benefits, and options related to smart city infrastructure in the context of Union Square Somerville. My intent was to spark discussion and further consideration including the idea of making Union Square an urban innovation lab (to attract employers, improve civic life, and support public and private services and benefits) for the entire city and beyond.
Municipalities today are constantly challenged while trying to improve the level of service to their citizens. In this session we will introduce the concept of Smart Water and show how we can lead the charge in providing value to citizens.
On 12 and 13 March 2019, Smarter Together gathered for its third General Assembly. This year, Follower city Sofia, Bulgaria hosted the municipalities, industrial and scientific partners of Smarter Together to discuss progress made, milestones and the future of the project in both Lighthouse and Follower cities. For more information about the event, take a look at the press release.
On 12 and 13 March 2019, Smarter Together gathered for its third General Assembly, an annual meeting that brings together all cities and partners of the smart cities project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. In 2019, the city of Sofia, Bulgaria hosted the municipalities, industrial and scientific partners of Smarter Together to discuss progress made, milestones and the future of the project in both Lighthouse and Follower cities.
The first day of the General Assembly was primarily reserved for Core Group and Steering Committee meetings followed by an official reception and dinner. The second day featured presentations from each of the Lighthouse and Follower cities that focused on challenges and achievements after three years of implementation of solutions within the Smarter Together project, as well as plans for replication moving forward.
OECD Roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive GrowthOECDregions
Cities around the world are still battling COVID-19 and shaping their way out of the crisis.
As the world learns to live with the virus, never have digital technologies and innovation been so valuable to help cities navigate the crisis and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Both before and during the pandemic, smart city initiatives have flourished around the globe, together with various attempts to develop smart city indices and indicators.
With substantial public funding channelled into smart recovery efforts, it is more critical than ever to assess whether investment in smart cities improves people’s lives. To what extent do smart cities deliver concrete well-being outcomes for all? How can such outcomes be effectively measured, monitored and maximised?
Learn more from our Roundtable: oe.cd/sc-rt
In less than 40 years, 70% of the world’s population will reside in our cities. This rapid
migration will push both current and future urban centres to their seams and expand industrial
and residential infrastructures beyond their breaking points.
This eye-opening fact raises important questions that must be considered by cities around the
world. Can this growth be done in a sustainable way? Will cities be able to reduce their
environmental impact and carbon emissions? Will we be able to meet the sustainability
challenges brought on by regulation and the impact of this massive growth? And, will we
expand in ways which ensure communities are enjoyable places to live and promote social
equality?
We can answer affirmatively to these concerns, and re-design our cities with these thoughts
in mind. With the movement towards smart cities, the urban centres we live in can become
more efficient, livable, and sustainable in both the short and long term, thanks to involvement from city, citizens, and businesses.
EU-Project Smarter Together Munich Documentation of Activities and AchievementsPavlína Dravecká
In cooperation with Vienna and Lyon, the City of Munich was chosen in 2015 to host the European Smarter Together project. Since then, all three cities have been working together on intelligent solutions for the smart city of tomorrow: Energy system refurbishment in housing complexes, mobility stations, neighbourhood sharing boxes and smart lamp posts are only a few of the sustainable measures on which Munich's local government is collaborating with local residents and partners from industry, and research to transform the Neuaubing-Westkreuz/Freiham project area into a smart urban district that is fit for the future. The model measures we have developed for Smarter Together set an example for other urban districts and cities throughout Europe.
The glossy brochure aims to document the activities and achievements of the City of Munich and its partners within and thanks to the SMARTER TOGETHER project as of a January 2019.
The structure of the brochure is as follows: After a brief preface of the mayor of the City of Munich, there is an introduction of the SMARTER TOGETHER projects which gives information about the common goals, the partner cities, the local partners as well as the Munich project area.
The main part is focusing on the activities and achievements in Munich after three years of implementation and is divided into the sections: Citizen and Stakeholder Engagement, Mobility, Energy and Technology.
The document concludes with an outlook on the next activities on monitoring, evaluation and replication.

Urban EcoMap provides urban communities with relevant data regarding the primary GHG contributors—transportation, waste, and energy. Building awareness, fostering a sense of community connection and responsibility, and providing actions for citizens to take will enable the reduction of GHG in cities. In addition, it will support decision-making for policymakers and business organizations, as well as for urban design, development and operations, and the research of urban, earth, and social scientists.
Begun in fall 2008, the pilot project is a collaborative effort involving Cisco IBSG—the global strategic consulting arm of Cisco—and San Francisco’s Department of the Environment (SF Environment). The organizations are jointly applying an urban services platform approach toward which visionary cities and the ICT industry are moving.
Urban EcoMap is a landmark innovation and a key element of the Connected Urban Development program’s Connected and Sustainable Cities framework. San Francisco is the first city worldwide to launch Urban EcoMap, introduced on May 21st 2009.
Because of the impact of work on adoption of these patterns and, ultimately, on development of a model for a sustainable and livable city, CUD believes the opportunity to introduce innovation in work enablement using ICT is equally important to delivering solutions to problems for energy, transportation, housing, buildings, and society
at large.
This whiepaper explores the factors driving the evolution of knowledge work, the principles
of sustainable work, and solutions that incorporate these principles.
This book, consisting of 14 essays from national governments, is about the concept of Connected Government and. examines the issues involved in developing and implementing compelling national e-government strategies. It explores the Connected Government strategy which is built on six pillars: citizen centricity, standardized common infrastructure, back-office reorganization, governance, new organizational model, and social inclusion.

Smart Cities and ICT - An assessment framework for Smart City ICT architectureHakan Demirel
There are many definitions of a <Smart City>, and almost all identify ICT as the key enabler. But, what are the characteristics of a smart city, and what is the role of ICT in enabling those characteristics? Moreover, how ICT maturity can be assessed in a smart city context?
The slides give a brief on smart city concepts, elaborate on the role of ICT in smart city enablement and also introduce an EA framework to assess ICT maturity of smart cities.
Smart cities - Comparison among EU modelsMirko Podda
The general objective of the work is to compare cities in different european countries. Our research is focused on giving a general overview of smart cities situated in Germany, Poland and Sardinia.
Starting from two European programs named: “The Smart Cities and Communities EIP” and “The Covenant of Majors”, we show how the cities object of our study have used these ones in order to be “Smarter”.
A city can be defined ‘smart’ when invests in human & social capital, traditional and modern communication infrastructures, sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. A City can be considered "smart" when achieves evaluable performances considering 6 characteristics, built on the ‘smart’ combination of activities of self-decisive, independent and aware citizens.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

D - Sustainable Energy in Connected Urban Environments: CUD Projects, Challenges and Lessons Learned
The energy consumed by buildings and homes causes 50% of total city greenhouse gas emissions. Recent developments
may allow cities to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of buildings, homes and open spaces. We are at the brink of a
critical convergence of three major technologies: 1) smart electric grids deployed by electric utility companies, 2) local
distributed renewable energy sources, and 3) advanced digital energy management and control systems. The integration of
these technologies promises to have major impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by buildings and homes.
Combined, these solutions will allow buildings and homes to actively monitor and manage their energy consumption –
automatically turning on & off energy-consuming appliances and adjusting thermostats to preserve occupant comfort and
control while optimizing for energy cost, demand and carbon content. This session will introduce related CUD projects
regarding energy-efficient urban living and debate challenges and achievements, sharing experiences and lessons learned.

F - Strategic Role of Carbon Markets : Implications and Responses. Session I : Principles and application of global
carbon markets
This session outlines the principles of global carbon markets and the enabling environments required to attract urban low
carbon investment. It will first outline existing institutions including early lessons from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. It
will then examine business models and local institutional and data provision structures required for cities to fully benefit from
a carbon market. It will discuss how the emerging global carbon market should build on current institutions and mechanisms
(e.g. linking up existing and developing regional carbon markets). It will consider how cities can position themselves to
capture a share of the billions of dollars of low-carbon investment that carbon markets can fund.
