A Dutch Perspective on Smart Cities
Smart City Technology is being used to make the Netherlands a
Sustainable Urban Delta.
We have a holistic view on Smart City technology and its
implementation.
The development of Smart City solutions is local / user driven.
International collaboration is needed to find complementary
knowledge and develop a common framework.
The document summarizes the selection process and criteria for the European City of Innovation award. Barcelona won the award for its use of new technologies to engage citizens in public services like health and social programs. The runners up were Grenoble, which invests in research collaborations around sustainability, and Groningen for empowering citizens in the energy market through crowd-sourced solutions. All the finalist cities demonstrated quadruple helix partnerships between universities, public/private sectors, and engaged citizens to drive innovation.
Fast changes in digital technology are disrupting how cities are governed and how citizens engage with their governments. This presents opportunities to rethink business models and procurement processes to improve economies, societies, and environments. Successful innovation requires understanding different stakeholder needs, involving communities in providing solutions, and introducing new concepts in a way that fits the local political landscape and helps with daily work.

Sharing Economy presentation by David Sucar (OuiShare Connector) during the SABF (South American Businees Forum) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. @SucarDavid
The document discusses the collaborative economy in the UK and provides several key points:
1. It outlines Nesta's framework for understanding the diverse range of players and models in the collaborative economy, from startups to communities to corporations.
2. It notes that the collaborative economy is already big business and set to grow, providing examples of sectors like peer-to-peer lending, renting, and transport that have seen savings and growth.
3. It discusses both the opportunities and controversies of the collaborative economy, such as increased income but also unregulated pricing and ensuring access and equality.
4. It explores challenges for regulators around ensuring fair competition, consumer protection, and setting policies to support startups
Cities face unprecedented challenges with unemployment, particularly among young people and in some regions, at the same time that public spending has declined. New funding opportunities are emerging for innovation through programs like City Deals, but investment in innovation has been steadily declining in the UK since 1999. There is potential to harness tools like accelerators, challenge prizes, and big data to support new businesses and entrepreneurs, match job seekers to opportunities, and create jobs, but better evaluation of social interventions is still needed.
Dr. Lorraine Warren gave a presentation on value creation and digital disruption. She discussed how digital technologies like broadband, smartphones, social media, and open data have lowered barriers to innovation. This digital disruption has led to new forms of technological innovation through crowd-driven activities like hackathons and new models of crowd-funding. Crowd-funding originally supported arts projects but is now used for business ventures. Dr. Warren provided examples of crowd-funding platforms and discussed regulatory developments around crowd-funding. She expressed interest in collaborating on research related to European and Pakistani contexts of these new digital phenomena.
The UN report focuses on how to unleash the potential of the private sector and entrepreneurship in developing countries to help address deep poverty. It discusses various constraints facing entrepreneurs and small businesses, including lack of skills, access to capital, and an unstable macroeconomic environment. The report recommends governments strengthen the rule of law, create a level playing field for businesses, reform taxes and finance systems, and develop human skills to help build an enabling environment for businesses and entrepreneurship to thrive. Public-private partnerships are also emphasized as a way to engage businesses in sustainable development projects.

A European Growth Policy for Twenty-seven Countries - Prospects and Problems ...gogrowth
The document discusses the challenges facing the European Union in developing common growth policies for its 27 member states in the modern knowledge economy. It argues that traditional industrial policies focused on subsidies and grants will not be effective, and that modern growth policies require more collaboration between firms, universities, and government. However, establishing collaboration is difficult because these organizations have different social networks and values as a result of their different roles. The document proposes that policies are needed at the EU, national, and regional levels to help build "social capital" or trust between these organizations in order to support innovation systems and regional clusters that can drive growth in the knowledge economy.
