This document discusses the concept of "smart cities" and the large potential market for smart energy, transportation, water, and assisted living technologies estimated at $408 billion annually by 2020. However, it notes that the term "smart cities" does not accurately capture what is really meant by big data management for large global cities. It proposes redefining the smart urban framework to better fit different city patterns, scales, challenges and societies. The document announces an open workshop to be held in Barcelona between November 19-21 led by Israeli experts to develop a new dynamic urban framework and establish Israel as the "smart urban nation."
Urban mobility is changing due to factors like urbanization, connectivity, and changing attitudes. Urban mobility networks need upgrading to meet the needs of growing populations in a sustainable way. Car sharing services can help close the gap between private car ownership and public transport by making multimodality more attractive. DriveNow, a joint venture between BMW and Sixt, has demonstrated that car sharing is a successful business model in Europe and North America. The concept makes it easy for members to find and spontaneously drive vehicles within business areas of cities.

Global City: A Proposal for a New Definition
This document proposes a new definition for a "global city" that includes not just the core city but also surrounding satellite towns that are closely linked to and dependent on the core city. It uses the example of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area in Israel, which includes a core city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa surrounded by concentric rings of satellite towns in the inner, intermediate, and outer rings that are functionally connected to the core city through infrastructure, commuting flows, and economic and social ties. The new definition aims to better capture the integrated nature of large metropolitan regions centered around core global cities.

Grace Sai - Investing in the 'Contagious Courage' of our Future GenerationCitiesTelAviv
The document discusses investing in youth and their potential role in cities. It summarizes that the Hub Singapore community space has over 400 members who have attended over 220 events and 6000 people. It notes that country and company leaders are coveting youth who have "contagious courage". The issues facing youth entrepreneurship are identified as culture/attitude towards entrepreneurship, awareness/engagement, and lack of support structures. The hypothesis is that a percentage of Singapore's youth have entrepreneurial tendencies but need ecosystem support.
