Editor's Notes
- #2 Canada is the world’s leading Smart City nation: more award-winning Smart Cities than anywhere else
- #3 The key to being a “Smart Community 3.0”, is that applications are used to bring all the sectors and function together! We often focus too much on the technology behind one sector, like Security. You can indeed have good applications-driven Security solutions, but they will not contribute to the smart COMMUNITY unless they are interwoven with Smart Energy (for street lighting), Smart Health (for ambulances and emergency treatment), Smart Governance (for programs that prevent crime) and so on. A Smart Community is built on applications that work together. And 90% of the work involved in making a Smart Community is soial, not technological.

- #6 London has a larger economy than many European countries, and the concentration of businesses and people puts upward pressure on the productivity of travel. Transport for London (TfL) has the job of moving a million commuters every day into the city (expected to grow by a third coming decade). The challenge for TfL is to be able to deliver accurate travel information to these commuters. It needs to deliver the information that people want, in a usable manner, no matter where they are. Fortunately, London’s commuters are high users of mobile devices; more than 80% use the Internet for maps and directions, and three-quarters of all Londoners visit the TfL web site. TfL has created an Open Data program, where developers can use City data to create potentially useful applications for people to explore. The response has been so good that new Open Data applications have surged more than 85% in the past year.
- #7 Malaysia wanted to become a significant contributor to the global knowledge economy. It set a goal of becoming a “Digital Economy”. Given limited resources, an effective approach is to create clusters; the Multimedia SuperCorridor is a way to kick-start the transition of the nation to a information society. The MSC contributed $10-billion to GDP (2004 – 2010), $25-billion through corporate growth, and 100,000 new knowledge-based jobs. This does not include its considerable impact on Foreign Direct Investment and the $9-billion it generated in exports. Flagship applications include e-Government, Smart School and Telehealth, to improved socio-economic conditions. The project covers an area 50km long and 15km wide. Originally five cyber-cities were involved: the Cyberjaya - the science park that forms a key part of the corridor - KLCC, Kuala Lumpur Tower, Technology Park Malaysia and University Putra Malaysia-Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (UPM-MTDC). Now there are 30, all supported by a high-capacity, digital telecommunications infrastructure. Incentives for companies locating in the cities include total tax exemption, duty-free importation of digital equipment, no censurship of the Internet, and excellent R&D facilities. A state framework wove together ideas, resources and relationships, and provided an enduring foundation for global industry
- #8 In the Asian financial crises of 1997, Suwong’s largest employer, Samsung, moved out. Suwon has now created an economy based on small-to-midsize enterprises specializing in IT, biotech and nanotechnology. The government has not been shy about backing that goal with public investment. Today, two-thirds of Suwon companies specialize in one of its targeted industries and companies with 50 or fewer employees make up 94% of all employers in the city. The city government established the Ubiquitous Suwon Master Plan, branded as U-Happy. It provides transparent access to government through a unified web gateway. Digital business incubators and multi-tenant buildings were created, with financial incentives. Suwon has also built a web of collaborative relationships among industry, universities and government. The tangible result is a large number of public-private research centers and institutes. It developed its own governmental network despite South Korea's impressive broadband infrastructure, currently ranked number one in the world. It was able to trim operating costs by eliminating leased lines, and the use of conduit already installed for the transportation management system kept construction costs low. Control of its own network allowed Suwon to boost connection speeds from 32 Mbps to a blazing 1 Gbps (in 2010). It focused less on technology than on Suwon’s development of the “human software” within this highly-educated community. It spent 360m in upgrading school facilities, opening new schools and expanding staff, and a further $186m is funding the 2010 Suwon Education Development Support Plan, which includes 74 individual projects focusing on education for a global economy and workforce. In addition, as the city replaces computers in its offices, the old units are refurbished and distributed to children’s centers, libraries and social welfare facilities. The City continues to look to the future, hosting the EcoMobility World Festival in 2013.
- #9 Boston was voted as the most energy-efficient city in the US by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (2013) Global energy needs are set to increase 40% by 2030, bringing pressure on prices, competition for resources, and raising difficulties to provide access to societies’ poorest citizens. It is also wrapped up in the issues of climate change, and the impact on economic growth. Four areas that helped the City of Boston take top honors in, all of which relate to its building energy and community engagement efforts: -Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s 2009 Executive Order and 2011 Climate Action Plan, which set energy savings goals for the City’s municipal operations and the entire community; - The progress the City has made towards these goals, which has been supported by the Mayor’s Greenovate Boston initiative and by the business and institutional leaders on the Boston Green Ribbon Commission; - The effective outreach and partnerships the City has formed with community groups and utility companies to bring energy savings to residents and small businesses through its Renew Boston program; and - The City’s 2013 Building Energy Reporting and Disclosure Ordinance, which requires all large buildings to rate and report their energy use to improve energy management. Programs like Renew Boston, the city has shown an impressive commitment to cutting down on energy waste, which will result in lower energy costs for residents and businesses, a more robust economy, and healthier environment. Websites like Greenovate have interactive programs that track implementation and measure progress. Greenovate Boston is a collective movement to help Boston reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. Smart technologies are the key to achieving a low carbon eonomy.
- #10 Smart City Strategy covers a cross-section of the city, covering all areas of life, work and leisure activities in equal measure, and includes everything from infrastructure, energy and mobility to all aspects of urban development. Open Government Data policy World’s Number One “Most Liveable City” six times in a row (Mercer) Exemplary public transport (1st Place in the TripAdvisory ranking for “Getting Around in the City”) Smart infrastructure with green buildings, accessible universities Smart technology with free wifi, apps, developer aids Sustainable Vienna program includes organic farms and recycling.
- #14 LinkNYC is completely free because it’s funded through advertising. Its groundbreaking digital OOH advertising network not only provides brands with a rich, context-aware platform to reach New Yorkers and visitors, but will generate more than a half billion dollars in revenue for New York City.
