This document discusses the development of smart cities. It notes that urban populations are growing rapidly and will account for over two-thirds of the world's population by 2050. Smart cities aim to address this growth through greater efficiency, sustainability, and inclusion. Key points discussed include the need for collaboration between different stakeholders, the role of standards in ensuring interoperability, challenges around financing smart city projects, and ensuring citizens are involved as both users and producers within smart cities. The document examines different approaches to planning, governance, and financing that can help facilitate the transition to smarter urban environments.

Smart cities - Comparison among EU modelsMirko Podda
The general objective of the work is to compare cities in different european countries. Our research is focused on giving a general overview of smart cities situated in Germany, Poland and Sardinia.
Starting from two European programs named: “The Smart Cities and Communities EIP” and “The Covenant of Majors”, we show how the cities object of our study have used these ones in order to be “Smarter”.
A city can be defined ‘smart’ when invests in human & social capital, traditional and modern communication infrastructures, sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. A City can be considered "smart" when achieves evaluable performances considering 6 characteristics, built on the ‘smart’ combination of activities of self-decisive, independent and aware citizens.
The BFS industry track touched upon analyze and digitize as themes. Included "Achieving Data Leadership & Deeper Timely Insights" and "mPayments" as two areas for customer talks, points of view and panel discussions. Chaired by M.V. Ramana Murthy, VP & Head, BFS, TCS

Accelerating smart city roll out: blending social & economic factors to boost...IRIS Smart Cities
Replicating smart city technologies across multiple districts or across Europe is a major challenge. We need faster deployment of existing and proven pilot initiatives to stand a chance of hitting environmental targets. Deployment and adoption of solutions from a blended social and economic aspect is key to accelerating this roll out. Mauritz Knuts of Vaasa Region Development Company and Co-Chair of a European working group on replicating smart city solutions about scaling up and transferring smart city technologies spoke at a Smart Tampere event in early 2020 to discuss how to make things happen.

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.
1. Letter to all state governments to shortlist potential Smart Cities based on Stage-I criteria according to a number of Smart Cities distributed across states /UTs by the MoUD. This is the first stage of the Intra-State competition.
2. On the basis of response from States/UTs, the list of potential 100 Smart Cities is announced. The second stage of the All India competition begins.
3. Each potential Smart City prepares its proposal assisted by a consultant (from a panel prepared by MoUD) and a hand-holding External Agency (various offers received such as World Bank, ADB, GEF, USTDA, JICA, DFID, AFD, KfW, UN-Habitat)
4. By stipulated date, Stage 2 proposals submitted. Evaluation by a panel of experts.
5. Selected cities declared – Round 1 Smart Cities
6. Selected cities set up SPV and start the implementation of their SCP. Preparation of DPRs, tenders, etc. and Other cities prepare to improve their proposal for the next round of the Challenge

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
2. The what and why of Smart Cities
Balancing objectives of cities
Transition to a Smart City
The role of (right kind of) standards
The city planning revolution
The challenges of efficient integration
Creating value
The need for new Financial models
EU strategy for Smart Cities, now and …later?
The clash of systems
3. Is smart synonymous with unnecessarily
complex and expensive?
Are there stupid cities too?
Is this a corporate invention to sell gadgets?
Do we need them?
Are we smart enough to live in a smart city?
Is a smart city a controlling-restrictive city?
Is it worth the cost?
4. In the last 40 years urbanisation has expanded
as much as the previous 4000 years.To double
now in the next 40 years.
Urban population grows now by 150.000 people a
day!!!
2011
3.6 billion
52% of
world
population
2050
6.3 billion
67% of world
population
72%

7. In Europe Cities….
Generate 85% of GDP
Consume 70% of energy
Emit 70% of greenhouse gases
Without addressing city inefficiencies
global or European growth, energy, climate
and environmental objectives will simply
fail
8. • Economic & Financial Sustainability
– Wealth Generation, attractiveness to businesses and
citizens, economic resilience
– Ability to cover investments, new financing models, strong
link with economic sustainability
• Social Sustainability (Inclusive city)
– Equity, stakeholder involvement, understanding behavior
• Environmental Sustainability
– Resource efficiency, emissions, environmental quality, risk
management
9. Developing smart cities is NOT about city authorities
procuring technologies
It is not only on supporting technology innovation
It is about:
Developing the right environment for smart solutions to be
effectively adopted and used.
Being inclusive: Citizens are not only inhabitants, but shapers of
the smart city as prosumers of city services
Partnering with industry, financiers and end users…this is
sometimes a non-traditional partnership.
Reforming and adapting the administrative, finance and
procurement mechanisms to take into account the lifecycle of
new infrastructures
10. Cities are in general run rather inefficiently
Utilities and services need to collaborate and
infrastructures need to integrate.
For this it is important that companies and
authorities collaborate
Key is open data – in standardised formats
12. To allow planning, benchmarking and technology
compatibility standards are taking a central role
Standards ensure collaboration, allow
replicability, enable the creation of new markets
International bodies ISO, IEC
European CEN CENELEC, ETSI
National BSI, etc.
13. Standards enable smart cities: an aligned
approach for design, development and operation
of the system of systems
Standards increase the number of solutions,
increase competition and benefit customers (cities
and citizens)
Standards guarantee:
Specified performance levels;
Compatibility & Interoperability
Increase competition
Standards allow for smart opportunities
14. a) Planning requires:
1. understanding the OBJECTIVES of the city
2. a holistic approach – INTEGRATION
3. Knowledge of the cities needs today and good projections
– INDICATORS
4. Know the stakeholders and their role
5. TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
6. CAPACITYTO ADAPT in time. Investments risk locking
the city for a long time into a specific infrastructure.
Technologies need to be compatible, interoperable.
b) There will be a need for REGULATORY AND PUBLIC
PROCUREMENT REFORM
15. Traditional procurement is generally:
Anti-innovation
Seeks the lowest investment cost
There is a need of further reform:
Include the lifecycle costs of projects
Encourage innovative procurement
Focus has to move away from CAPEX to OPEX
Administrations need to learn to partner with
private sector - PPPs
16. Citizens are key
Not only as users, but as prosumers
They will be important providers of services
Planning needs to take into account the market
opportunities of smarter systems, enhancing
entrepreneurial possibilities
Improving opportunities and living standards
17. We are facing a financial crisis
Municipal budgets weak
Municipal finance providers are in trouble
Banking regulations affect long term investments
We need new business models – new ways to
address the challenges ahead
New cooperation mechanisms
New administrative structures
New financial instruments
New regulatory frameworks
18. The monoline insurance companies that provided
bonds and guarantees got severely hit by the
crisis
The banking sector regulations (Basel III) make
infrastructure lending less interesting: higher
capital reserves and additional financial save-
guards in line with loan size and duration
Taxation avenues are limited
20. DEPLOYMENT
EU does not manage to bring innovations to the
market.
Lack of scaling up and deployment
Low risk appetite in the market
EU market is inflexible and fragmented
EU funding focused on innovation
National restricted due to economy and state aid
rules
Some funding available through structural funds,
Cohesion Funds and CEF
External Industrial Competition
21.
22. Guarantees for green bonds – EU level for
Energy and for Smart Cities (to cover the
receding investments from banks and other
financiers)
Equity and guarantees for innovation.
Risk: Uptake of projects that would be done
anyway due to political pressure – 315 bn in 2
years.
23. Two models:
Mainly large but decentralised producers with
interconnectors
Decentralised energy Islands
Large producers are tending to prefer 1 despite
competition
Second option linked with storage can change the
landscape of energy radically
Emerging concern: Stranded assets
