Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses.
With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport and other key smart sectors.

iginally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century then became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional center of power with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city centre.

INTELLIGENT STREET LIGHTING
Home/INTELLIGENT STREET LIGHTING
Every evening, an intelligent street lighting control system has to light up at the right time and function seamlessly. A city’s street lights provide safer traffic conditions, safer pedestrian environment and can represent a great improvement to the city’s architectural, touristic and commercial output. These benefits are not exactly cheap though, with an average of 40% of the public budgets’ energy bill being spent for street lighting alone. The increasing energy price, plus the significant maintenance costs and always increasing expectations manifested by the public put a continuous pressure on the lighting budgets.
inteliLIGHT® is a remote street lighting control solution that offers you detailed, lamp-level management capabilities of every street light in your city and ensures that the right amount of light is provided where and when needed. Equally important, in-depth grid management gives an accurate real-time feedback of any change occurring along the grid, reduces both energy loss and energy surges and offers advanced maintenance optimization tools. Using the existing infrastructure, you can have live detailed information over the grid and transform the existing distribution level network into an intelligent infrastructure of the future
On 6 and 7 June 2013, André Bouffioux, CEO of Siemens Belgium-Luxembourg, presented our Siemens’ view on how Smart Cities will develop and generate new business. He made this presentation during the European Young Innovator Forum’s unique Unconvention in Brussels, where young Europeans with innovative ideas and those who will inspire, guide and support them, were brought together.
Smart Cities and Big Data - Research Presentationannegalang
Research presentation on smart cities (sensor technology) and big data, presented in a graduate course I took on Transmedia Design and Digital Culture.
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.
Infrastructure Finance – Building for Growth - SMART CITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE ...Resurgent India
There’s no simple definition for smart cities. The term encompasses a vision of an urban space that is ecologically friendly, technologically integrated and meticulously planned, with a particular reliance on the use of information technology to improve efficiency
Smart Cities are presenting new challenges for Big Data. The emerging amount of data needs to be processed to make feasible its analysis (data fusion to avoid noise and apparently random behaviors, correlation in order to see hidden behaviors, focused on insight and integration into business models, needs from the market to define the questions that are expecting to answer for the Smart Cities).

We are very pleased to share the full report from our Future of Cities project – now available as PDF on SlideShare and as digital print via Amazon.
As previously shared in PPT format (https://www.slideshare.net/futureagenda2/future-of-cities-2017-summary), this is the detailed synthesis of insights gained from multiple discussions around the world. It brings together views on how cities are changing from a wide range of experts from 12 workshops undertaken over the past 2 years in Beirut, Christchurch, Delhi, Dubai, Guayaquil, Mumbai, Singapore, London, Toronto and Vienna.
Cities are where most of us choose to live, work and interact with others. As a result they are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and from which economic growth largely stems. They are also where significant problems can first emerge and where challenges are magnified.
This report explores some of the common challenges found in urban areas such as managing migration, countering inequality and sustainable scaling; highlights shared ambitions of having healthier, accessible and more intelligent cities; and also details some of the emerging concerns around creating cities that are safe, resilient and open to broader collaboration.
As a compilation of thoughts and ideas from a host of experts we would foremost like to thank all of the many workshop participants for their input. Without your views we would not be able to curate this synthesis. In addition we would also like to thank others who have added in extra content, shared reports and reviewed the core document. We hope that this reflects all your varied perspectives.
Going forward, we also hope that this will be of use to those leading cities, designing new districts, developing policy and exploring opportunities for urban innovation. We know that several cities are already using the insights as stimulus for challenging strategy and stimulating innovation. In addition, linking into to another Growth Agenda driven project looking at the Worlds Most Innovative Cities (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/innovation-hot-spots-countries-vs-cities-tim-jones), this is also being used as part of events designed to help future leaders identify how and where they can make most impact.
As with all Future Agenda open foresight projects the output is shared under Creative Commons (Non Commercial) and so we trust that you may find it useful. This PDF on slideshare can be freely downloaded and shared. If you want to print out the report, the easiest way is to order a digital hardcopy via Amazon (for which they unfortunately charge a fee) but this is a quick and high quality print.
BCG's Holger Rubel describes how urbanization is changing the world and explores how five sectors in "smart cities" are evolving: energy, transport, water and waste, social initiatives, and buildings.
Sustainability in the NHS Virtual Conference4 All of Us
The NHS Sustainability Day Campaign was delighted to host its 2nd virtual conference examining sustainability within the NHS and wider healthcare field. Once again we explored the solutions already being adopted by the NHS to combat carbon emissions.

We also tackled the hot debate brought up by Covid-19, of how we tackle single-use masks?
NHS Sustainability and the Impact of Covid19 Virtual Conference4 All of Us
This virtual conference examined the impact Covid19 will have on sustainability within the NHS and wider healthcare field. We explored the solutions already being adopted by the NHS to combat carbon emissions whilst addressing how the ramifications of Coronavirus may impact sustainable methods.
The conference provided the opportunity for NHS Trusts to discuss their concerns, ideas and plans around embedding sustainable development with fellow peers. Topics that were discussed on the day included:
How will Procurement be impacted by the virus?
Will Infection Prevention Control stop carbon reduction initiatives?
How important will sustainable transport be in a Covid19 society?
How do you maintain environmental behaviours whilst dealing with Covid19?
How will the virus impact spending in the NHS?
The Diagnostic & Testing virtual conference held on the 11th June 2020 was an inspiring event examining the role of both molecular and rapid diagnostics in tackling disease, infection and reducing the impact of COVID-19 within our communities and hospitals. The virtual conference explored how health professionals, academics and industry are driving diagnostic and testing usage within laboratories, pharmacies and community practice.
The conference built upon the UK Diagnostics Summit held annually in London discussed how diagnostics and testing are tackling COVID-19, the technology in development, accuracy of COVID-19 tests as well as exploring current testing methods for cancer, diabetes, sepsis, urinary tract infections and HAI’S.
Sustainability in the Operating Theatre4 All of Us
This webinar is hosted by one of the NHS Sustainability Campaign Members, Elemental Healthcare, Geoff Miller, discussed sustainable alternatives to the most commonly used fully disposable devices for Laparoscopic Surgery and whether progress in this regard has been blown off course by COVID-19.
This Webinar gave an introduction to the concept of Resposable™ devices and a review of papers highlighting how a switch could significantly reduce plastic waste generated in the operating theatre.
This webinar focused on data, data sharing and how this is vital in the creation of a viable data strategy. Paul Connell opened up with an introduction to ODI Leeds - a pioneer node of the Open Data Institute, created to explore and deliver the potential of open innovation with data at city scale. Working to improve lives, help people and create value. Paul will discuss the ‘radically open’ way of working, where projects and data are shared, and the internet is used the way it’s supposed to be! Whilst highlighting the 'Open Data Saves Lives' Initiative, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following Paul we had Steve Simpson, Head of ICT, Lancaster City Council who discussed the processes behind the Digital Lancaster Strategy, recently launched.
To conclude the webinar Colin Munro, Managing Director, Miconex. Colin, the Smart Cities UK 2020 Data award winner, explored how Smart Loyalty programmes can generate data sets that provide local authorities with valuable data about how local citizens travel to and use their local towns and cities. He also highlighted how Smart Loyalty can be used to incentivise behavioural change and encourage use of sustainable travel options as well as encouraging and promoting a more localised spend, supporting carbon reduction.

The NHS Sustainability Campaign has been advocating the mandatory implementation of Sustainable Development Management Plans for the past year.
SDMPs, as they are often referred to, are not currently a mandatory requirement for any NHS Trust. They are part of the NHS Contract, but not reported on or considered when measuring performance.
This is leading to carbon measures been ignored by over 30% of the NHS Trusts in England, thats around 80 Trusts! This is staggering and also demonstrative of the lack of leadership needed to drive sustainability.
As part of our campaign to support Trusts with SDMP's we hosted a webinar, CPD accredited, on December 6th. The webinar explored how to create an SDMP, what is needed at implementation, how to get top-level engagement and much more!

Sustainable Health Scotland 2017 was organised by 4 All of Us in partnership with NHS National Services Scotland, NHS Health Scotland and the Scottish Managed Sustainable Health Network (SMaSH). The Conference, a catalyst to a long-term campaign on behalf of NHS National Services Scotland and NHS Health Scotland to reduce health inequalities and achieve a sustainable health and social care system in Scotland.
The second annual Conference addressed how the NHS, public health and social care system can maximise opportunities to mitigate against future harm to health as a result of climate change and improve social and environmental, as well as economic, sustainability. Featuring best-practice examples from across Scotland on how sustainability is supporting the delivery of high quality patient services, as well as expert commentary on initiatives to support the drive to a healthier Scotland in the future.
March 26th this year saw over 300 healthcare organisations take action to promote sustainability and increase public health awareness and we are fortunate enough to have the support of; Public Health England, Department of Health, Department for Energy and Climate Change and The Prime Minister, David Cameron. Working with these stakeholders we aim to further develop the links between health and sustainability thus improving economical and health outcomes within the UK.
For the 2016 campaign, beginning in September, and to celebrate our 5th year of the campaign we will be promoting 50kg of carbon. This is effectively promoting what the public and health professionals can do to save 50kg of carbon. This could be achieved through; walking to work, cycling, planting a tree etc.
Transport and Travel Challenges for the NHS - Webinar4 All of Us
This webinar addressed key topical areas such as:
Parking charging for patients - How can this be addressed and improved?
Adequate parking spaces- Are Trusts fit for purpose when it comes to car parking?
Travel planning- How can Trusts reduce congestion around the Estates and what transport plans should Trusts utilise?
Sustainable travel- Is the NHS doing enough to promote this?
Dan Saunders of Basemap and Ian Goodwin of the British Parking Association were on hand to present information to overcome such challenges for Estate Directors and Managers.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today.
Why it is relevant to you: without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.
What we want you to do: To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. We invite the public, students and educators, farmers, the veterinary and medical communities and professional organisations, to become Antibiotic Guardians.
Call to action: Choose one simple pledge about how you’ll make better use of antibiotics and help save these vital medicines from becoming obsolete.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Smart Cities UK Conference
Smart Cities UK
Richard Rugg
MD, Carbon Trust Programmes
4th February 2016
3. Cities are key to achieving vital
international climate goals
1. Over 50% of the global population
now live in cities. They generate
80% of GDP and use 70% of the
world’s energy
2. Municipalities hold key planning,
housing, community engagement,
taxation and education powers
relevant to low carbon development
3. And power is being devolved to
local governments around the world
4. Climate proof cities can realise significant
co-benefits
1. Reduced fuel poverty
2. More diverse and resilient energy supply
3. Better water and flood risk management
4. Transport resilience
5. Resilient buildings
6. Improved air quality
7. Positive health impact
8. Enhanced city brand
9. Cost savings
10. Revenue generation opportunities
6. Foresighting – An Enabler
of Future Smart, Liveable
and Resilient Cities

7. What is the Purpose of Cities?
A place to trade (especially food)
A place of safety
... with a source of clean water
An agglomeration of people
... a place to live, work and play
... an amalgam of residential, commercial, retail, industry,
leisure, transport and open spaces, green spaces
... a place of business, busyness and peaceful solitude
... dynamic 24 hour city living
... a place for biodiversity to flourish – trees, birds, bats
We (civil engineers) need to support all this by supply (water,
electricity, gas, telecommunications , etc.), removal (wastewater,
drainage, solid waste) and facilitation of movement (people, goods)
… we need infrastructure systems
… yet what is needed in the far future?
… and where? Resilience Through Innovation
Critical Local Transport and Utility Infrastructure

17. The Future of UK Cities
Cities are the locus
of future UK growth
The UK is one of the three most
populous countries in the EU and
one with the most cities
It has one of EU’s highest shares
of population living in a city or
commuting zone (~74%)
London is EU’s richest Metropolitan
area
Total resident population inUrban
Audit core cities Eurostat (2011)
18. Future of Cities Project
There are many core questions, including:
What will urban life look like in the future?
What makes a strong urban economy?
How could urban form and structures evolve?
How will city ambitions relate to national frameworks?
How can cities of the future be made more resilient?
Our objectives are to:
Identify challenges and opportunities facing UK cities
Explore policy options with government departments and agencies
Project aim:
Provide central and local government with an
evidence base to support decisions in the short
term which will lead to positive outcomes for
cities in the long term

21. Think in terms of ‘systems of cities’
Cities should not be considered in
isolation – interactions and relationships
between cities are critical to their
development
project approach: the
UK’s ‘system of cities’ is considered for
the future of an urban UK, while
simultaneously considering the multiple
futures of its individual cities as systems

29. Foresight Future of Cities
Alternative Foresighting Approaches
Foresighting approaches include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Trend Analysis
• ‘Horizon Scanning’
• Side-Swipes or Black Swans
• Scenarios analysis
‘Aspirational’ or ‘success’ scenarios
‘Extreme-yet-Plausible’ scenarios
Scenarios predicated on one or more dominant drivers
It is best to use as many of these as possible, but all require time,
effort and skill.The benefits can be profound, however.
… we are shortly to publish Foresighting for Cities
30.
31.
32.
33. Foresight – Aspirational Scenarios
We’re defining a set of principles
that combine to describe the characteristics,
or functions, of future cities we aspire to
• surveys of the aspirations of individuals from across society
• sector-focussed workshops (e.g. retail, environmental
scientists, transport, heritage organisations, utility service
providers, healthcare professionals, creative artists, etc.)
• Learning from the literature (five city typologies model)
Every city is unique, having developed as a result of its current and
historical context, so to apply this thinking to cities
• we are establishing a city’s ‘aspirational principles’
• creating three extreme city scenarios around clustered visions
• exploring how cities might be re-engineered
… and hence what future infrastructures we should provide
34. Foresight – Future Proofing City Interventions
Vision:
• Totest the resilience of actions being taken today (proposed ‘city
interventions’ a policy, a practice, something physical)
Method:
• Identifies all intended benefit(s) of a city intervention
• Identifies the necessary conditions for each benefit to be
delivered and establishes whether they are in place today
• Assesses the necessary conditions in the four futures
… will the necessary conditions remain in place?
• Provides analyses to determine the robustness of ‘solutions’ to
future changes and facilitates their modification (if necessary)
35. — In this scenario, powerful
actors organise themselves
into alliances in an effort to
safeguard their own
interests
— The UK divides into two
groups: an authoritarian
elite who live in
interconnected, protected
enclaves (‘gated
communities’) controlling
access to resources, and
an impoverished majority
outside
Fortress World
36. — In this scenario, current
demographic, economic,
environmental, and technological
trends unfold without major surprise,
with convergence toward today’s
structures
— Competitive, open markets drive UK
development. The self-correcting
logic of the market is expected to
cope with problems as they arise
— Sustainability issues are addressed
more through rhetoric than action
— Materialism and individualism spread
as core human values, whereas
social and environmental concerns
are secondary
Market Forces

37. — In this scenario, co-ordinated
government action is initiated to
reduce poverty and social conflict
while enhancing environmental
sustainability
— Strong government policies and
some changes in consumer
behaviour emerge to support
environmental and social
consciousness. Such policies help to
negate trends toward high
distributional inequity.
— Tensions still exist between the
continued dominance of conventional
ideologies and values and key
sustainability goals
Policy Reform
38. — In this scenario, new socio-economic
arrangements and fundamental
alterations in societal values result in
changes to the character of UK urban
civilisation
— The notion of progress evolves and a
deeper basis for human happiness
and fulfilment is sought
— An ethos of ‘one planet living’
pervades, facilitating a shared vision
for a more sustained quality of life,
now and in the future

47. Conclusions
Future cities (i.e. all city systems) and the system of cities set the
brief for civil engineers … and we need to understand them
- Interdependent infrastructure systems (iBUILD)
- Mapping and Assessing the Underworld (MTU and ATU)
We need to understand the context of city development, and apply
known (trends) and potential (scenarios) future contextual change
- Foresight Future of Cities
Aspirational futures will inform us of future infrastructure needs
- Liveable Cities
There are ways to test whether today’s infrastructure interventions
are likely to continue to deliver their functions in the far future
- Urban Futures
And there are opportunities to advance the research, and evidence,
base via a £500m programme that is just now getting underway –
the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities

124. ENERGY INDUSTRY AND THE CHALLENGES
• Utilities need solutions to gain better insights and engagement
with customers to comply with legislation, compete and maintain
supply during peak levels of demand
• Billions invested in smart meters, sensors & other disparate
systems – value has to be realised from this and the data
tsunami it creates
• Utilities challenged to develop new business models – data will
be a facilitator of monetisation and ‘click through’
opportunities
‘Big six’ energy firms lose further market share…
17 million residential consumers in North America participate in
competitive electricity markets
Small rivals hurt energy’s Big Six
People are so clueless about how much energy they use
Rolling Blackouts Hit California Again
125. ENERGY INDUSTRY IS PRIMED FOR TRANSFORMATION
Telco
• New services
• More
differentiatio
n in price &
service
Banking
• Instant access
to data
• Increase in
self service
Retail
• Meaningful
recommendations
• Consumer
profiles
• Improved
logistics on
delivery
Utilities
• Billing relationship only
• Lack of insight for usage
Personalised and Digitised
• Informed competition
inhibited
• Lack of differentiation on
services
No digital transformation
126. GLOBAL ENERGY SECTOR - A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY
To understand the opportunity lets think back to broadband?
Who invested in broadband
infrastructure?
Who benefited the
most from it?
Sound similar to Smart Meters & Smart Grid?
“Companies who fail to adapt and who do not make the most of
advanced data analytics lose: the broadband story” IBM, 2014
≠
127. THE DIGITAL DISRUPTION HAS ALREADY HAPPENED
Worlds largest taxi company owns no taxis
Largest accommodation provider owns no real
estate
Largest phone messaging company own no
phones
Worlds most valuable retailer has no
inventory
Most popular media owner creates no content
Fastest growing banks have no actual money
World largest movie house owns no cinemas
