Smart Cities: why they're not working for us yetRick Robinson
This is my January 2016 presentation to the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development as part of their preparation of a report on Smart Cities. The idea of a “Smart City” (or town, or region, or community) is 20 years old; but it has so far achieved comparatively little. The vast majority of Smart City initiatives to date are pilot projects funded by research and innovation grants: there are very, very few sustainable, repeatable solutions yet. This is partly because Smart Cities is usually discussed as a technology trend not an economic and political imperative; and so it has not won the support of the highest level of political leadership, and the widest level of community and citizen engagement. In a few cases where that level of leadership and engagement does exist, however, some cities have shown that existing policy tools and spending streams - such as procurement practises, planning frameworks and property investment - can be been used to create sustainable projects and programmes that can deliver real change.
Presentation given by Nicola Graham, Smart Dublin, at Open & Agile Smart Cities' annual Connected Smart Cities & Communities Conference 2020 on 23 January in Brussels, Belgium
This presentation from Form Virium Helsinki discusses and advocates harnessing the innovative capacities of entire communities to bring forth optimal city management. The focus is on overcoming the traditional challenges between public sector organizations and citizens.

This presentation forecasts how urban planning and technology is shaping our cities through smart city initiatives. Ultimate objective is to make people happy and provide impactful experiences for people living in cities and solving cities challenges. Technology is only an enabler but people come first. These initiatives should be driven by outcomes and what cities want to achieve and become.
Collection Methodology for Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable C...ITU
These indicators have been developed to provide cities with a consistent and standardised method to collect
data and measure performance and progress to:
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
becoming a smarter city
becoming a more sustainable city
The indicators will enable cities to measure their progress over time, compare their performance to other
cities and through analysis and sharing allow for the dissemination of best practices and set standards for
progress in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the city level.

Empowering citizens to turn them into co-creatorsof demand-driven public services. CO-CREATION methodology, supporting platform and tools. Ecosystem of co-created artefacts. Open Government enablling
Value creation from open data growth faces several challenges, e.g; they risk to be too supply-driven, or that they lack of incentives for the re-use. This paper reports an ongoing research/programme on the stimulation role in an open data ecosystem to mitigate these concerns. First, we present the empirical roots of this role that can be drawn from several initiatives undertaken in different countries and trying to bypass the obstacles faced by potential open data re-users. We discuss the importance of a legal framework inductive to foster innovation and transnationality of the re-use. Then, we introduce the BE-GOOD programme which aims to develop new methods to build an open data ecosystem.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

6. ECOSYSTEM CANVAS
CULTURE
Tradition: “Only already Big are Successful” +
“Finland is a Club, not a Country”. Attitude changes
after Nokia demise/Rovio success.
Very stable social system – lot of rigidness:
- Uber taxi service didn’t success in, but
- Kutsuplus &open data transport apps world top-class
(You have to know your innovation space)
POLICY
Helsinki City Strategy, second sentence: “Helsinki is
world class business and innovation center.”
Finland: Word “Innovation” read 27 times in the prior
PM’s Government Programme – about every second
page
SUPPORTS
“The innovation ecosystem garden is flourishing”
“The gardener is probably on holiday”
- which is a good thing (personal opinion)
- competition and evolution of the ecosystem support
activities
- there is a trend to simplify at public sector
MARKETS
Finland is too small market for most start-ups.
“International Smart City Markets are right now under
consolidation” (2010, 2013, 2014, …)
Cities’ key role in generating lead markets is identified
- Kutsuplus pilots a startup-service
- Mobile App Challenges on Transport a few times
HUMAN CAPITAL
7 Universities in Helsinki, including Aalto and University of
Helsinki.
Nokia has laid of thousands of people in greater Helsinki
region, but mere 2 game companies have created as
many new jobs at the same time.
Several thousand startups/SMEs in Helsinki region
FINANCE
Ecosystem finance instruments exist and proactively
promoted by Government and City (6Aika, INKA, clusters)
Most of the project financing is collaboration financing.
Very good public and private sector startup financing.
There is fast and easy funding, and there is slow and
difficult funding.
