A city is a system of systems with independent objectives and governance for transportation, energy, healthcare, safety, security, and infrastructure. A smart city relies on data to be the connectivity between independent functions, and open data to be the building blocks for citizen-centered design, inclusion, and sustainability. Big Data is not about size – it is about finding new life-changing and transformational opportunities using data. From Smart Mobility and Smart Energy to improved Public Health, Safety, & Governance – this session will discuss how cities are delivering better citizen services leveraging open source technology with a consistent governance and security framework that spans the data center and the public clouds. Data integration is the key to ensuring that a city’s attempts to become an intelligent system of systems doesn’t result in a system of silos. A single view requires the capability to integrate transactional data from traditional data stores with person generated data, unstructured data, and machine sensor (IoT) data. The key to managing such a range of data is a capability that allows for both scaling analytic workloads and the preservation of detailed data with unexplored value, as both are vital to future growth potential. Key Takeaways: Understand the common use cases that tier 1, tier 2, and emerging cities are undertaking to deliver tactical results and progress towards policy objectives. Understand the role of a shared catalog, unified security and consistent governance in building a secure, trusted, and connected capability.

19. Air Quality Sensor Testing & Deployment
Learning how lower-cost air quality sensors can be used as a tool to improve
understanding about localized air quality.
Infrastructure Monitoring Pilot
Testing infrastructure sensors for cracks and earth movement to help
augment inspections of aging infrastructure and structures in seismically
active areas, prone to flooding effects or exposed to frequent and excessive
loading.
Open Data Program
The City of Portland’s commitment to make data freely available and
accessible to improve participation in decision making and evaluation.
Portland Urban Data Lake (PUDL)
The Portland Urban Data Lake (PUDL) pilot will collect, store, integrate, and
analyze data from a variety of sources — including the Traffic Safety Sensor
Pilot — to provide a foundation for data-driven decision making.
PREPHubs
PREPHubs are a new kind of urban infrastructure designed to increase
disaster resilience. Composed of flexible kit of parts, each component serves
the community in both everyday and emergency scenarios. It promotes
neighborhood involvement, emergency preparedness and supports post-
emergency efforts.
Regional Smart Cities Action Plan
A partnership of public agencies and academic institutions in the Portland
metropolitan area with shared goals to leverage resources and build an
equitable, safe, affordable, sustainable, resilient, healthy, and smart region.
Smart Autonomous Vehicles Initiative
Portland’s proactive, collaborative approach to test and pilot AVs to
maximize the public benefits of AVs to Portland communities and
businesses and to minimize potential risks.
Smart Cities Steering Committee
A citywide governance structure for Portland’s Smart Cities efforts to
coordinate projects, policies and priorities so data and technology
investments are used to reduce disparities and do not further exacerbate
inequities for our Portland community.
Traffic Safety Sensor Project
Testing new sensor technology deployed to street lights to learn how people
are using our streets so we can design safer streets.
Vertical Infrastructure Strategic Framework
Comprehensive, proactive management of the public right of way and City-
owned poles in the public right of way to address the rapidly growing
demand for wireless and data services.
