Designing Next Generation Smart City Initiatives:Harnessing Findings And Les...Edward Curry
The proliferation of “Smart Cities” initiatives around the world is part of the strategic response by governments to the challenges and opportunities of increasing urbanization and the rise of cities as the nexus of societal development. As a framework for urban transformation, Smart City initiatives aim to harness Information and Communication Technologies and Knowledge Infrastructures for economic regeneration, social cohesion, better city administration and infrastructure management. However, experiences from earlier Smart City initiatives have revealed several technical, management and governance challenges arising from the inherent nature of a Smart City as a complex “Socio- technical System of Systems”. While these early lessons are informing modest objectives for planned Smart Cities programs, no rigorous developed framework based on careful analysis of existing initiatives is available to guide policymakers, practitioners, and other Smart City stakeholders. In response to this need, this paper presents a “Smart City Initiative Design (SCID) Framework” grounded in the findings from the analysis of ten major Smart Cities programs from Netherlands, Sweden, Malta, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Singapore, Brazil, South Korea, China and Japan. The findings provide a design space for the objectives, implementation options, strategies, and the enabling institutional and governance mechanisms for Smart City initiatives.

On 21 June 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a bold, new initiative - The Smart Cities Mission. The conceptualization of this mission is based on achieving an enhanced livability index in cities and boost public transportation, communication and water, gas and electricity supply. Additionally, this mission will also promote the utilization of technological innovations and familiarize people with e-management as the core of infrastructure. These ‘Smart’ Solutions will in turn drive economic growth. The initiative focuses on the sustainable and inclusive development of cities with the idea of looking at compact areas and creating a replicable model for other aspiring cities.
This webinar discussed what should India’s smart cities aspire to become for their citizens and how should policy makers approach the planning of smart cities.

India’s recent stand on Smart City Development and involvement of various high income countries; initiates the talk of ideal variables for smart city evolution by our own standards. With a vision of Urban Governance for general livability, it becomes imperative to study these parameters and ensure the evolution of our own concept of a Smart City. Our spatial planning models based on unique factors such as Human Diversity, Physical-Social networks and ICT impact on urban fabric, City resilience, etc. make it all the more interesting to evolve a blueprint for Planning a Smart City.
The paper centers the infrastructural developments for the Smart Urban Development in India. The research helps us arrive at a general line of action for Urban Planning implications catering to the Infrastructure Sector, amongst others; thus affecting environmental, social and economic structure significantly. The study further finds the scope of progress, encouraged from various government policies for successful implementation of Smart City Development. It also allows a peek into future scenario of improvements and deliberations particular to Indian standards in consideration with the scenario of other countries.
#SmartCity is nothing but a city that satisfies its citizens aspirations on various parameters.
Here #IndoreSmartCity is sharing the ideal definition of #SmartCity according to all the parameters with citizens, so that they can share their views and aspirations for Indore.

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.

So one initiative in which San Carlos Calif has taken an initiative that with the help of Mobile Apps along with Sensors to implement Smart Parking Solutions they can keep a track of Parking Space nearby the Place or Shop where they want to track their Vehicle.
• Another way is that our cities are connecting hospitals to expand medical services via TELEMEDICINE this program help the patients to avoid long journeys and wait time and with the help of internet Doctor can diagnose Patients Problem.
• SMART Countries of Asia has been using Renewable Resources as in India there is a scarcity of resources. So India has to use renewable sources of energy. we have to use Solar cookers and Solar heaters which reduces our Consumption of LPG and increases our dependence on Solar Power Plants to generate Electricity.
• SMART Education which is the signal of Development and growth prospects in the country by using ICT Methods as India has to use Smart Technology Methods as Said By SAMSUNG to take an Initiative from the Secondary Schools so that their Brain get sharped from the very first day to compete and survive in this competitive world and for getting admission in reputed universities.
• SMART Cities must have Public Transport facility available at short distances in the form of Buses and Metros or even rapid metros so that People avoid using their own vehicles to go for any domestic work and even office work •

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
