The document outlines the G20 Smart City Showcase program coordinated by the FIWARE Foundation and the World Economic Forum's Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Japan, aiming to enhance urban management through smart city initiatives. Key aspects include the development of a global smart city coalition, implementation of data-sharing platforms, and the creation of technologies such as a smart navigation app to improve urban mobility and data accessibility. The initiative emphasizes collaboration across G20 nations, focusing on innovative solutions for both developed and developing cities to foster sustainable urban growth.

World Economic Forum the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) was
launched in March 2017 in San Francisco to co-design the policies needed to
accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies in the global public interest.
C4IR Japan was launched in July 2018 to be the first Global Centre outside of San
Francisco. It is a JV between the Japanese Government (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry),
the World Economic Forum, and Asia Pacific Initiative.

B20 Communique - B20 Tokyo Summit Joint Recommendations
"Society 5.0 for SDGs” (15.03.2019)
As the world continues to urbanise, in order to tackle global issues and realise sustainable
development, it is required to successfully manage urban growth. To this end, we, the B20, propose
that smart cities be a focus of the G20’s efforts to implement Society 5.0 for SDGs. This initiative
should not be narrowly focused on developed countries but contribute to solutions for the vast
number of large cities in developing countries as well.
(5) Launch real world projects
We call on G20 countries to support the implementation of Society 5.0 by fostering cooperation
among smart cities. The G20 should empower municipalities to make better choices for their citizens
as they seek to update their infrastructure with advanced digital technologies. By enabling cities to
share experiences and best practices, and encouraging the adoption of common core guiding
principles, including respect for privacy and security, a global smart city coalition could promote
transparency, openness and interoperability, develop appropriate regulatory frameworks and
help cities to become platforms for the data economy. As part of exploratory approaches, each
G20 country is expected to nominate prospective cities.

Base showcase description

8. Base Showcase general overview
§ Base showcase will be structured in several parts:
1. Several cities export right-time data about available parking lots (on and off street parking lots) and
other interesting data using NGSI and common data models – this data is available through APIs
and can be consulted through data publication portals
2. Some of the cities export information in a data publication platform where also third parties export
data. Access to certain data sets (from the city or third parties) can have a pricing associated.
3. There is a Smart Navigator App for drivers (mobile or embedded in cars) which is able to connect to
the city and allow smart routing and the displaying of interesting data as you go. Drivers can acquire
access rights to privileged data or services in those cities where this is possible.
4. An operation control dashboard system is showcased for selected cities enabling monitoring of
several city services, including smart parking
§ Concepts to demonstrate:
• Develop once for multiple cities – Application providers find right incentives to invest because of
sizeable market
• Ability for cities to avoid vendor lock-in – Multiple solutions (operation dashboard system) can work
on top of same type of data
• Support to Data Economy concepts
7

9. Part 1: Publication and visualization of right-time data by cities
§ Description:
• Several cities export right-time data about available parking lots (on and off street parking lots) and
other interesting data using NGSI and common data models – this data is available through APIs and
can be consulted through data publication portals
§ Notes:
• Target is to engage multiple cities (at least one per G 20 country by end of June)
• Ideally, different cities would publish right-time data through different data publication platforms (goal
is to illustrate examples with CKAN, OpenDataSoft, Socratra, …)
• At least one Data Publication platform should allow visualization of right-time data on a map
• It will be interesting to allow advance visualization of certain right-time datasets using advanced 3D
and AR/VR user interface capabilities
8

10. Part 2: Data Marketplace functions
§ Description:
• Some of the cities export information in a data publication platform where also third parties export
data. Access to certain data sets (from the city or third parties) can have a pricing associated.
§ Notes:
• Data marketplace functions should rely on the Business API Ecosystem FIWARE GE
• There should be enough examples illustrating support of several pricing models:
□ Acquisition fee
□ Subscription fee (pay-per-use)
□ Usage Discounts
□ Combinations of the above
• Priced data may be simulated
• As example of priced dataset, at least one city should support premium services for parking (see
description of part 3b of the demo)

11. Part 3a: Smart Navigation App for drivers
§ Description:
• There is a Smart Navigator App for drivers (mobile or embedded in cars) which is able to connect to
the city and allow smart routing and the displaying of interesting data as you go.
§ Notes:
• The Smart Navigator App needs to be able to work for any given city that exports right-time
information about available parking lots
• Different cities may have different smart parking solutions deployed but all export right-time
information about available parking lots (on street and off street parking lots) using the same
FIWARE data model
• The Smart Navigator App (running on the smartphone of the driver or embedded in the navigation
system of the car) does not provide the best route to the target address but the route to a free
parking slot according to his preferences (closest to destination, cheapest, fastest to arrive, lowest
environmental impact, …)
10

12. Part 3b: Smart Navigation App for drivers
§ Description:
• Drivers can acquire access rights to privileged data or services in those cities where this is possible.
§ Notes:
• An additional payment may be charged from a premium service which allows to reserve parking lots
• Drivers paying the premium service can reserve a parking lot before reaching the target destination.
Charging of the parking lot starts with the beginning of the reservation:
□ Version A:
– A display at the parking lot shows that it is reservered
– The number plate number of the resereved car is shown
– Drivers intending to park unauthorized will get an information on the display warning to be towed away
» Identification via camera scanning the number plate or geo-location
□ Version B:
Usage of Smart Parking Barrier like from Parklio
• Additional services may be provided by the operator of the parking space or a third party as the next
parking customer and his preferences / demands might be known
□ Cleaning or maintenance of the car
□ Information about special offers near to the parking lot
□ Delivering purchases into the car
□ …
11

13. Part 4: City Operation Control dashboard
§ Description:
• An operation control dashboard system is showcased for selected cities enabling monitoring of
several city services, including smart parking
§ Notes:
• City Operation Control dashboards will be showcased for a subset of cities
• Target goal is to show at least two different dashboard systems from different providers to illustrate
alternative solutions working on same type of data
• At least one of the Operation Control dashboards should show how to monitor smart parking
services
• Every Operation Control dashboard should at least rely on some of the FIWARE data models
