Lecture 4 discusses strategies for developing intelligent cities, focusing on sustaining innovation in city sectors, knowledge-intensive districts and clusters, improving infrastructure and utilities, and enhancing quality of life. Examples are provided of initiatives in Singapore to develop priority innovation sectors, Cleveland's OneCommunity broadband network, and Stockholm's open access fiber network model called Stokab.

20. New Songdo, Korea
 A ubiquitous central business district
New Songdo, a "ubiquitous city"
It is located 40 miles south of Seoul and will be connected to Incheon International Airport by a 7-mile highway
bridge. Songdo International Business District (IBD) is a master-planned international business center being developed
on 1,500 acres of reclaimed land along Incheon's waterfront.
Songdo IBD is a Joint Venture Partnership between Gale International, one of the largest US real estate developers,
and POSCO E&C, a subsidiary of POSCO Steel, the 2nd largest steel company in the world. It represents the first project
of its kind between a US developer and a Korean company. This project is estimated to cost in excess of $20 billion,
making it the largest private development project ever undertaken anywhere in the world.
New Songo will equipped with a $297 million RFID research center when completed in 2014, and its 65,000 residents
will all have homes with electronic locks, integrated videoconferencing, VoD, and unified systems and services down to
details like each resident having a non-identity linked smartcard that transacts purchases, grants entry to mass transit,
parking, and opens your front door at the end of the day. http://www.songdo.com/

24. Arabianranta, Finland
 A new city district
Helsinki University of Art and Design is located in Arabianranta. In association
with Hackman factory complex, it is to form the core for proposed Finnish
Industrial Art and Design Centre in the area. In the near future, Faculty of
Science of the University of Helsinki (and the geography department with it)
will move to nearby Kumpula area, and city planners have drawn on their
maps a 'science-art axis' reaching from the central University campus in the
downtown via Kumpula and Arabianranta to Viikki, where the new centre of
biosciences is located. Arabianranta will also offer to its future residents an
impressive view over Vanhankaupunginlahti bay. On the other side of the bay
there is a bird conservation area and further away the fields of Viikki
biocentre. This provides the residents an almost rural landscape. Besides
residential and commercial blocks, also green space will be created into the
area. The so-called shoreline park will fringe the built areas and provide an
open seashore.

 Smart Eco City

26. Zaragoza, Spain
 Digital Mille
Milla Digital is a basic project of Zaragoza City Council to help
companies, institutions and citizens position themselves to
form part of the economic and social means of the 21st
century.
Milla Digital will make use of the spaces of both the areas
developed to configure a City of Innovation and Knowledge,
where housing, companies and facilities will exist together
under a common orientation fully engaged in knowledge-
intensive activities, an urban development of great quality and
advanced telecommunications infrastructures which both the
residents and the businesses located in the Milla will benefit
from.

29. Stockholm, Sweden
 The Stokab model
The Stokab ICTmodel — A success story
Key to Stockholm’s success has been the ICT model established in the capital where one out of every eleven Swedes lives. In the early
1990s, Sweden liberalized the market for telecommunication services. In order to sustain strong competition, the Stockholm
government decided to build a network, which would be open to all on an equal basis. To support the operations of both the public and
private sectors — as well as to offer better opportunities to individual citizens — the Stockholm government set up a company called
Stokab in 1994 to build a fibre-optic network throughout the municipality as a level playing field for all operators. Today, the 1.2 million
kilometre network has more than 90 operators and 450 enterprises as primary customers. The Stokab infrastructure is used by the
city’s administration and by 100 000 students and schoolchildren in the Stockholm area.
Online services for all
The city now provides an impressive list of online services. For example, citizens can follow City Council meetings online and view the
associated documents. Applications can be made for parking permits. Couples can make an appointment for a wedding ceremony at
City Hall — and nine out of ten couples now do so via the web. Among parents, the same percentage applies online for a child’s place at
a kindergarten. It is also possible for family members to view information about the city’s care for elderly people. The online system
saves money by managing municipal operations at all levels, and by automating routine administrative tasks while fostering
collaboration among agencies and the savings made allow each project to be self-financing.
