Smart Cities - Global Case Studies - Part - 5Resurgent India
Greater Manchester is the single biggest economic area outside London with a residential population of 2.7 million. Greater Manchester is made up of 10 local authorities, of which the city of Manchester is the largest. The city of Manchester is located at the core of the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. Manchester’s core sectors are the business, finance and professional services sector which contribute ~40% to the city’s economy.
Cities are a driving force in generating the world’s economic growth. All around the world, urbanization is a growing trend. Challenges arise as more and more people concentrated in the limited urban spaces, with outdated infrastructure, leading to a rapid increase in resource consumption and emissions. The principal challenges for cities, around the globe, are to deliver better services while being globally competitive, and meeting climate targets.
Limited resources need to be managed in an efficient way. At the same time, societal development must be addressed and the focus put on people’s wellbeing. The pressure is growing to reduce our environmental impact, and there is a parallel compelling need for businesses to remain globally competitive. Expenditures on improving energy efficiency, modernizing infrastructure and creating a high-quality living, and working environments, are enormous. At the same time, cities have limited financial resources for governance and services.
The sustainable transformation of cities is only possible when it is done in a smart way. Smart systems and their integration need to be developed, not only to provide the services that people need but also to do so efficiently with minimum impact on the environment Regarding the urban spaces as living ecosystems, the smart city design, and planning, operation, and management, needs to be done at the system level. Sub-optimization of individual city components will not lead to the optimal performance of the all system. Multi-target optimization is not an easy task, but it becomes necessary as different components and systems are interlinked and interconnected – irrespective of where they are physically located.
Innovation in the form of 'smart city solutions' can deliver technologies, products, and services that meet the dual challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and delivering more efficient services. Cities worldwide are modernizing and becoming poles of competitive strength.
The rapid development, and globalization, of information and communication technologies (ICT), can support the deployment of these solutions and their integration at system level. Applications as local small-scale energy production, as well as the transport solutions, for example, are the key enablers for cities becoming more resource-efficient while better meeting the users’ needs. It can be said that efficient ICT, where the Internet of Things has a central role, is a common dominator: tying together services, residency, mobility, infrastructure, and energy.
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.

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.

OECD Roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive GrowthOECDregions
Cities around the world are still battling COVID-19 and shaping their way out of the crisis.
As the world learns to live with the virus, never have digital technologies and innovation been so valuable to help cities navigate the crisis and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Both before and during the pandemic, smart city initiatives have flourished around the globe, together with various attempts to develop smart city indices and indicators.
With substantial public funding channelled into smart recovery efforts, it is more critical than ever to assess whether investment in smart cities improves people’s lives. To what extent do smart cities deliver concrete well-being outcomes for all? How can such outcomes be effectively measured, monitored and maximised?

What will happen to Russia after Putin? National project Russia XXI: Smart Ru...Azamat Abdoullaev
The first quarter of the XXI century for Russia can already be called the era of Putin.
How and when will the president change: with or without shocks, in 2018 or in 2024, will finally determine both the character of the era and the immediate future of Russia.
Today in the age of the digital world and smart technologies, any country has only two development scenarios: bad, stupid or deadlock "development" with all forms of decline and collapse or clever, including development with all forms of recovery and flourishing.
The main tasks of the "Russia 21" Project: SMART RUSSIA - SMART RUSSIA are defined as:
Creation of a high quality of life through large-scale use of innovative development strategies, introduction of the latest information and communication technologies and eco-efficient solutions in the urban and rural environment, in the economic sector, in the social sphere, in the sphere of environmental protection, in the field of civil security, as well as in the everyday life of citizens.

21st century cities: smart cities in India, or how to develop future citiesAzamat Abdoullaev
The success or failure in meeting the world’s most pressing challenges will be decided in cities, which are reaching a tipping point on many issues:
poor governance and weak institutions (#1 perceived impediment to prosperity);
inadequate infrastructure (US$78tn of investments needed over the next 10 years);
rising inequality (1bn living in poverty in cities, 75% of cities worse off than 20 years ago; housing (881mn living in slums, 1bn new homes needed in cities);
crime (top concern for citizens); environmental challenges (cities occupy 2-3% of land mass but account for 75% of natural resource use and emissions, 70% are already dealing with the effects of climate change);
and new and pervasive risks (terrorism, higher securitisation, disease and pandemics) (source: UN-Habitat, UN, World Bank); 21st Century Cities: Global Smart Cities Primer, Bank of America, ML, 2017].
Physics X.0: Nobel prizes, Universal Principle, Mathematics of NatureAzamat Abdoullaev
We review Physical Science by formulating the universal principle of reversibility in terms of force, convertibility, unity, and mathematics of relationship.
The Reversibility Principle is advanced as the essential construct of nature integrating the basic natural phenomena and bringing forth a single strategy of physical science for the future Nobel Prize discoveries.
It produces a systematic modelling of diverse physical forces and energies, processes and phenomena to predict the ac-tions of physical forces and effects, to discover and exhibit natural relationships.
The fundamentality of discovery implies if there is the Faraday effect, Lorentz-Zeeman effects, Doppler effect, Einstein’s photoelectric effect, Compton effect, Cherenkov effect, Mössbauer effect, Hall effects…., there MUST be the Inverse Faraday effect, Lorentz-Zeeman effects, Doppler effect, Einstein’s photoelectric effect, Compton effect, Cherenkov effect, Mössbauer effect, Hall effects,…, by LAW, of Reversibility of Effects and Convertibility of Forces and Energies.

On the First Principles and Laws in Physical Science: Force-Relations, Convertibility, and Reversibility
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded 109 times to 201 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2015, according to the Nobel Foundation. The key achievements lie in the serendipitous and intuitive and ingenious discovering of empirical physical laws and effects, as the Einstein’s law of photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, the Cherenkov effect, the Mössbauer effect, the Hall effects and others, enriched with new discoveries of subatomic entities, symmetry principles, conservation laws and unified force fields theories.
The formulated Principle of Process Reversal and its Convertibility Laws enable the description of diverse physical processes and phenomena and the prediction of actions of physical forces and effects in the systematic and consistent ways without having to consider the details of the courses of physical processes and systems.
It is shown that the Principle of Process Reversal combines all the key attribute of universal laws of nature: asserts the interdependence between varying quantities of physical properties; states that physical events occur in an invariant order; supports cause and effect relationships, and states a constant regularity in the relations or order of physical phenomena in the world, embracing the empirical regularities of numerous physical effects.
Above everything, the Reversibility Law implies that if there is some physical effect in nature, there must be its inverse, converse or reversed action, otherwise it is not a real effect. Or, if there is the Doppler effect, there must be the Inverse Doppler effect by LAW, the Law of Reversibility.

Страна все больше и больше превращается в экономически отсталую сырьевую колонию глобального масштаба с самой коррупционной политической системой, бесполезным малокомпетентным правительством, трудоемкой национальной экономикой, устаревшим производством и металлоемким машиностроением, слабой научно-технологической политикой, отсталой информационной инфраструктурой, антигуманной социальной политикой и тяжелейшими экологическими проблемами.
Нефть, газ, уголь, лес, зерно, уголь, металлы, руды, платина, золото, алмазы, удобрения, апатиты, электроэнергия, информация и … мозги, все гигантскими потоками идет на дешевый экспорт, во все части света, Европу и Америку, Азию и Африку, всеми видами транспорта, водным и сухопутным, воздушным и электронным, а также трубопроводным.
В перспективе ожидается быстрое истощение национального богатства и стратегического сырья через внедрение новой трубопроводной транспортной технологии Hyperloop (РЖД подписал недавно контракт с Space Exploration Technologies Corporation на пробный участок) для высокоскоростной перекачки нефти, газа, нефтепродуктов, угля, руды… на Запад, Юг, и Восток.
Сегодня Россия главный мировой экспортер материальных стратегических ресурсов, топлива и энергии, нефти и газа, и один из главных импортеров нематериального ресурса: знания и информации, информационных продуктов и услуг.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

SMART CITIES GLOBAL INITIATIVE IN
EUROPE
EUROPEAN INNOVATION PARTNERSHIP ON SMART CITIES AND COMMUNITIES has completed its invitation for commitments for
Building Smart Green Cities and Intelligent Communities, the places of growth, intelligence and innovation, high-quality jobs and sustainable development.
The “Smart Cities Global Initiative” in Europe aims to transform committed Eurocities into intelligent green urban areas:
environmentally sustainable, inter-connected, instrumented, innovative, and integrated, regionally and globally attractive for businesses, citizens, visitors
and investors.
SMART Eurocities are to be managed by the urban “brains:, intelligent city cloud platforms, managing communal resources, assets, processes and
systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy networks and Utilities, ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure, Public and
residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water and Waste management, Social infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and culture, Public
administration and services, Communities and Businesses.
Being in line with the EU Strategy 2020, the SMART Eurocities Projects are to utilize the EU Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020, 7-Years
Planning, Strategies, Policies and Regulations, Funds, Programs and Projects, all innovative funding opportunities, schemes, and initiatives, as well as
local government incentives for smart urban growth and sustainable redevelopment. Financing could follow the Public-Private-Citizen Partnership business
models, and be shared by the private firms, investors and municipal government. http://eu-smartcities.eu/content/show-world-you-are-smart-city
2. EUROPEAN COMMISSION’S SMART CITIES AND COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE:
NEW SMART CITY AGENDA FOR EUROCITIES
Too much of the smart city agenda so far has been led by producers; competing corporations
offering their own technology to cities as an ostensibly comprehensive solution to every urban problem.
Solutions must work within the complex urban environment of integrated planning, policy-making and
delivery, taking advantage of the opportunities for connectedness and systems integration.
An integrated approach addressing social, economic and environmental issues together will
remain important in this respect.
It is vital for future take-up of technologies that we can demonstrate the benefits to citizens,
such as the potential to improve quality of life, foster social innovation and connect and empower citizens.
City governments must have a central role in the initiative’s strategy and projects.
City authorities are not simply facilitators for or customers of industry; rather they should be
acknowledged as leaders and innovators in their own right.
“EUROCITIES Statement on Smart Cities and Communities Communication”.
Smart Cities Global Initiative in Europe is meeting the above concerns, thus enriching the EC’s

6. EIB-EIP SMART FUNDING SCHEME:
OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
Objectives
75% of Europeans spend their lives in towns and cities, with 85% of GDP created in urban areas, 80% of all energy consumption and 75%
GHG emissions, while facing increasing economic, social and environmental challenges.
The Program supports an innovative integrated urban development approach by the committed European cities and communities of the
concept of "smart cities & sustainable development", underpinning large investments carried out mainly at city/regional level with the
common purpose of improving environmental sustainability, urban and natural environment, ICT, mobility, energy efficiency, urban
economy and social cohesion.
Promoting “Smart City Global Initiative” in Europe, the Program prioritizes holistic policies and strategies, comprehensive planning and
management, and urban intelligent governance platform, integrating infrastructure assets and processes across Energy, ICT and
Transport, to keep a global leadership in the sustainable development of cities and communities.
Sector(s)
Urban development; Regional Development; Innovation; Environmental Sustainability; Energy; SMEs
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 5 billion
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 10 billion
Benefits
Developed through collaboration between the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities, the "Smart
Cities & Sustainable Development" innovative investment program is aimed at assisting and providing financial support to urban and rural
communities committed to the EIP’s Strategic and Operational Implementation Planning, with its focus areas and priority actions in
framework policies and regulations, integrated urban planning and management, citizen focus, integrated intelligent infrastructures
across Energy, ICT and Transport, urban mobility, sustainable districts and built environment.
Under this program, the public authorities, committed to integrated smart urban policies, are to benefit from preferential rate loans for the
implementation of the "Smart Cities" projects up to a total of EUR 10bn half of which from the EIB and the other half from the EC and local
intermediary banks, which major cities committed as founding partners to the Smart Cities EIP.

7. EIB’S SMART CITIES COMMITMENT
The EIB, together with Belfius Bank, is launching the "Smart Cities and Sustainable
Development” Program in Belgium, EUR 400m scheme, thus smartly committing to one
Member State.
Supporting the pan-European “Smart Cities & Sustainable Development” Program, the EIB is to
commit to the smart urban development investment policy in all Europe. The pan-European
smart city budget could start from EUR 10bn Europe, with additional finances coming from the
disproportionately largely funded and low-efficient ERC programs.
Still, EUR 10bn EIB-EIP Scheme is relatively modest considering the smart city market
projections to exceed $ 1 trillion by 2016 and China’s future “smart cities” allocations of 2
trillion yuan ($322 billion) for more than 600 cities nationwide.
Again, in Russia, the greenfield intelligent city of Skolkovo, occupying about 360 hectares, is to
cost about $ 16 bn, but risking to fail for lack of innovation city strategic planning and urban
intelligence platform.
Considering Belgian smart cities budget of 0.4bn, the Big Europe smart cities (Germany, UK,
France, Italy, and Spain) could cover half of a smart budget, while the rest could go for the
smart cities of other Member States.

8. SMART CITY FINANCING SOURCES
Smart City Development Partnership can generate capital internally, through their own net operating cash
flows, or externally through equity capital markets, bond markets or the banking system, or via direct and
indirect financing.
Private Finance Mechanism Hierarchy:
Senior secured debt
Senior (unsecured) debt
Subordinated debt (mezzanine financing)
Equity financing
Public Finance Mechanism:
Grants to support high upfront costs for innovative capital projects, to increase the FRR on
investment and leverage additional resources through requirements on cofinancing/matching funds.
Interest subsidies (i.e.) Soft loans entail: • Extended payback periods; • Low or zero interest rates; • Short-
term interest deferral periods; and/or • Inclusion of payback grace period.
Revolving funds offer loans that can be repaid with the realized revenue
and then it can be reinvested in new projects in the same area.

10. SMART CITY FINANCING CHALLENGES
The smart cities financial challenges:
f) High risk perception for innovative solutions and energy efficiency measures;
g) Uncertain energy prices and policy uncertainty on fossil fuel prices;
h) Large investment volumes required;
i) Long term to maturity/profitability;
j) Limited public funding capacity: high public deficits municipalities and incapacity to raise funding from
capital markets
To attract the necessary capital for investments in cities solutions have to be found to:
e) Reduce real and perceived risks of the investments;
f) Attract long term finance from specialised institutions (i.e. pension funds);
g) Develop project aggregation mechanisms to create bankable and sizeable investments with reduced
transaction costs;
h) Develop off balance sheet investment systems with private mechanisms (development of single purpose
vehicles and PPPs)
Smart Cities, as large scale innovative and costly changes, involve both financial engineering and socio-
economic values, measured as internal rates of return (IRR) and economic rates of return (ERR), respectively,
which might oppose each other.

11. SMART CITY CHALLENGES, RISKS, AND SOLUTIONS
Technology risk
Operational risk
Construction risk
Market demand risk
Policy risk
Finance risk
The public sector can offer particular financial
instruments to leverage private financing:
Grant co-financing: to reduce the volume of investment
form the private sector and thus their potential losses.
Equity support: offering equity to private developers
Guarantees to banks and private investors: sheltering
the private sector for first losses of projects
Operational risks can be mitigated with the appropriate
investment in skills; Technical assistance is key to
reduce this risk; Construction risk can be mitigated
through subordinate loans and guarantees, etc.
The ERR to the smart city is usually high (living
standards and health benefits), while the FRR could be
low, then public assistance instruments are required to
compensate the private financiers. The more innovative
the solution, the more difficult to raise finance.
The smart cities financial challenges:
f) High risk perception for innovative solutions and energy
efficiency measures;
g) Uncertain energy prices and policy uncertainty on fossil
fuel prices;
h) Large investment volumes required;

European Commission: Lighthouse Smart Community Projects (Horizon 2020)
Smart and Green Polis will be presented as an active member of the EU Lighthouse Projects, inviting institutions, public
bodies, industries, city networks, and academia to proactively contribute to the cause.
To deploy smart city solutions across urban mobility; districts and built environment; and integrated infrastructures, the
concept of Smart City ”Lighthouse Initiatives” is to be implemented, requesting collaboration between the European
Commission, Member States and Industry, as well as cities and research institutions.
Over the next 7 years, a portfolio of at least 20 - 25 lighthouse projects is to be created: each with 6-10 cities (and partners),
with the potential for Europe-wide roll out – dependent on levels of commitment, and access to / creation of funds.

26. LIGHTHOUSE SMART POLIS PROJECT
The light house projects should look for creating partnerships between industries, academics and cities, empower citizens and
ensure the replicability of the solutions, ensure the funding from various sources. Therefore each project should:
Be realised in 2 – 3 cities or communities (light house cities or communities);
include industry, city planning authorities which should also reflect the view of the consumer organisations, research
community, local Small and Medium Size Companies (SMEs);
co-involve 2 - 3 follower cities i.e. cities willing to contribute to the process though the replication of solutions at the end of the
project and having access to the knowhow and results of the project and a privileged contact with the project's partners. The
involvement of the follower cities should be relevant (e.g. participating in definition of user requirements and methodology of
transferability of solutions, data collection etc.). The follower cities should aim at improving their energy performance or the
share of use of renewables (e.g. 60% reduction of primary energy for buildings, 20 - 30 % RES use for electricity as well as for
heating and cooling). EU geographical coverage conditions should be also applied.
Ensure that all proposed activities are a part of ambitious urban plan. These activities should also lead to the development of
integrated urban plans. The urban plan shall integrate buildings planning, energy networks, ICT, transport/mobility planning;
additional issues may be addressed as well if relevant for the city. These plans shall be submitted with the proposal as a
supporting document(s).
the funding for the other parts of the programme or initiative in which the lighthouse projects are embedded should be
secured from other sources, preferably private ones, but also other EU funding sources (European Structural and Investment
(ESI) funds for example), national or regional funding.
Projects should demonstrate and validate attractive business plans that allow large scale replication of fast economic recovery
in cities of varying degrees of economic conditions (from very poor to very rich), varying sizes but significant urban areas and
varying climatic conditions to ensure high impact and replication potential .
The industrial partners and municipality authorities should engage in replicating successful demonstration in their own and
other cities, notably 'follower cities'; the replication plans are compulsory and are part of the evaluation.
Consortia must have a clearly defined structure with roles and responsibilities properly spelled out for all involved entities.

30. “SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE A SMART CITY”:
THE FIRST DEADLINE IS APPROACHING BY 15 JULY
Are you on the right track to become a Smart City? It is said that the future of the world will be decided by the
quality of its cities, and it is expected that by 2020 over 40 urban areas will turn into Smart Cities.
However, the Smart Cities Global Initiative is concerned about the large variety of narrow technical visions,
models and approaches in which on many occasions “the push towards smart cities is being led by the
wrong people –technology companies with naïve visions and short term commercial goals–, while the
architects, planners and scientists often struggle to share their specific knowledge”.
That is why this initiative is looking for megacities, municipalities, communities or brand new cities that are
following a smart community development strategy aiming to unify all the city systems, services, operations,
activities, departments and agencies as a sustainable smart urban ecosystem.
The applications have to provide evidence that the city has potential capacity to take profit of the intelligent
resources offered through the Smart Cities Global Initiative. They also have to prove that their transformation
into a Smart City has a strong leadership and that it has strong intentions to invest intelligent and financial
capital into smart and sustainable urban development.
The selected urban entities will be provided with intelligent property investment as well as sustainable city
exclusive education and training.
You can submit your applications via e-mail …at smartcity@cytanet.com.cy until the 15th of July.
For further information on the Smart Cities Global Initiative, consult the online brief guide.
