It provides examples of how technologies like telepresence and video can improve healthcare by providing remote access to experts, education through virtual classrooms, and energy through smart grids. The remainder summarizes a Cisco solution that uses remote expert pods to provide virtual government services, reducing costs and travel while improving citizen access to experts. Sensors and videoconferencing enable remote consultations, with examples of installations in Bologna, Italy.
This document discusses smart city investment and economics. It covers key areas of investment for smart cities, including land, power, water, highway/road connectivity, and fuel pipelines. It then discusses various economic models related to local economic development, including prehistoric, conventional linear, pre-industrial, and technopoles models. It also covers principles of competitiveness in new urban economies and the relationship between urbanization, cities, and economic growth.
The document discusses several tales or perspectives on smart cities including:
1) The notion that there is a universal solution to human needs that can be arrived at algorithmically.
2) Challenges cities face like health, sustainability, and inclusion must be addressed but cities are complex systems without single solutions.
3) Smart cities should empower citizens through open and shared data and platforms rather than just using technology for its own sake.
This presentation offers a brief overview on the Smart Cities topic, providing some data and some useful insights about why new kind of cities are needed and at the same time presenting some trends that boost the emergence of new urban paradigms.
Creating Smarter Cities 2011 - 04 - Rudolf Giffinger - VUT - The need for pla...Smart Cities Project
Because of different processes like economic restructuring, socio-demographic processes and technological progress cities are facing new challenges in the run of their recent trends of urbanization and metropolisation. These processes are assumed to have specific impacts on the cohesive territorial development in economic, social and spatial terms. As a consequence new strategic governance approaches became necessary steering development in different fields. In this context rankings have experienced a remarkable boom.
In front of this development, this paper concentrates first on the question how to define a ‘smart’ city which is able to cope with such challenges. Based on this understanding the own ranking approach („European Smart Cities“) is described systematically. Based on a hierarchical approach with a sample of relevant factors the paper describes in short how cities cope with the results and what are typical reactions of local governments and stakeholders. In this context two specific urban strategies for steering development and processes of learning in general, but especially with respect to urban governance, are discussed within this paper. Finally, the paper elaborates that here the buzz-word ‘smart’ is not used in an explicit technology perspective but in a clear place based understanding similar to the EU-Territorial Agenda 2020. Accordingly an outlook describes how ‘smart’ will be used and understood in a place based and territorial perspective including technological impacts.

Smart cities | Smarter citizens Vienna - 25 Nov 2014 lrTim Jones
A keynote at the Zero Emission Cities Conference in Vienna focused on shifts in focus of smart cities. Key contrast is made between what is being embedded in city infrastructures to make them more intelligent and efficient vs. how people in cities can use, share and interpret data to make more intelligent decisions.
Talk is split into three parts:
What we say about the future of cities from the first Future Agenda programme in 2010
An overview of some of the key developments and collaborations that have taken place since
Some key questions that we see are being asked about citizen engagement that we will explore in the second future agenda programme in 2015
This document discusses smart cities and some of the key challenges involved in developing and implementing smart city initiatives. It notes that smart cities can mean different things to different stakeholders like cities, businesses, and citizens. Some of the main challenges outlined include the complexity of cities and governance, developing an ecosystem of solutions and vendors, limited funding, and security issues. The document emphasizes that innovation does not require the latest technologies, and that collaboration both within and between cities is essential for smart city development. It presents examples of collaborations like Taiwan's Go Smart initiative and China's P.A.T.H. initiative. The conclusion is that moving forward will require engaging all stakeholders and focusing on solving real problems through proven as well as emerging technologies.
My presentation illustrates an on-going study in the field of Smart cities’ evaluation. The analysis starts from a revised notion of triple helix considering that Civil society plays a prominent role toward the realization of sustainable development in cities (Etzkowitz and Zhou, 2006).
In order to assess the connections between Smart city development and this institutionalization of the Triple Helix, an Analytic Network Process model has been developed. This interrelated model is used for investigating the relations between smart cities components (smart governance; smart economy; smart people; smart living; smart environment), actors (Universities, Government, Industry and Civil Society ) and policy visions derived from the “Urban Europe” Joint Programme Initiatives, i.e. strategies to which the smart cities are moving to (Connected City, Entrepreneurial City, Liveable City and Pioneer City).
The document discusses the concept and development of smart cities. It defines smart cities as using ICT to be more efficient in resource use, lowering costs and environmental impact while improving quality of life. The concept originated in 2008 from IBM's Smarter Planet initiative in response to the economic crisis. European cities tend to be denser with better public transit, more cycling/walking and a stronger sustainability focus. Developing smart cities addresses problems of global warming, urbanization, changing lifestyles and the need for long-term sustainable city planning. India's smart city program aims to develop 100 smart cities to cope with rapid urbanization and population growth.
Some basic analysis of Indian cities to build the smart city & compared Ahemdabad & Surat the two cities from Gujarat.
Analysis taken from Ministry of Urban Development of India & some other private companies Affiliated with the Indian Government.
The document discusses how discussions of future "smart cities" often focus too much on new technologies and not enough on the people who inhabit cities. It argues that even the smartest city technologies will not make a city truly smart if the needs and desires of residents are not prioritized. Examples of technologies that could improve people's lives are given, such as those that decrease travel time, enable communication, provide information, allow for crowdsourcing, and ensure access to services and the internet. However, the key conclusion is that the priorities for any city should be its inhabitants and ensuring the city meets their needs and allows them to live safely, easily, and with access to community.
The document discusses the FIREBALL project which aims to bring together cities, living labs, and future internet stakeholders to explore models and practices for open innovation and user participation to support experimentation and adoption of future internet technologies. It provides examples of smarter city cases including Barcelona which focuses on smart districts, living labs initiatives, e-services, infrastructure, and open data. The challenges for cities include demand for skills, funding innovation, and global connectivity.
The document discusses how cities will become smarter through becoming instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent. It argues that by 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in cities, so cities must act now to address major challenges through smarter systems. These include smarter transportation, energy/utilities, healthcare, telecommunications, education, public safety, and government services. The goal is to use data and technology to improve services, the environment, public health and safety, and drive economic growth.
This document discusses the concept of smart cities and living labs. It outlines some of the key components of smart cities, including mobility, smart grids, public administration, health and social care, smart buildings, smart utilities, connectivity, security, and sustainability. The document also provides examples of smart city initiatives in places like Brazil, China, Europe, and Qatar and discusses the role of open innovation, cloud computing, and open data in developing smarter cities.

Cities have evolved over thousands of years to support communities and societies, continually adapting to new challenges. As cities face increasing modern demands, they are becoming "smarter" by leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide intelligent, connected infrastructure and services centered around citizens' needs. A key part of this is empowering all stakeholders - citizens, private sector, government - to cocreate the future of their city and drive civic innovation through a collaborative approach.
The document discusses the concept of smart cities and Dubai's efforts to become a model smart city. It provides background on the drivers behind smart city initiatives like increasing urbanization straining city infrastructure. Dubai is pursuing various projects like installing WiFi in public places and developing a command center to integrate transportation data. Experts say smart cities require both technology and focus on people, and note Dubai's leadership is strongly supporting its smart city vision to transform the emirate.

Creating Smarter Cities 2011 - 12 - Mark Deakin - The Triple Helix of Smart C...Smart Cities Project
Mark's presentation demonstrates how the Triple Helix model enables us to study the knowledge base of an urban economy in terms of civil society’s support for the evolution of cities as key components of innovation systems. It argues that cities can be considered as densities in networks among three relevant dynamics: the intellectual capital of universities, industry of wealth creation and their participation in the democratic government of civil society. It goes on to suggest the effects of these interactions generate dynamic spaces within cities where knowledge can be exploited to bootstrap the technology of regional innovation systems. Dynamic spaces, this paper suggests, that can best be explored through the all-pervasive technologies of information-based communications (ICTs) and those which are currently being exploited to generate the notion of “smart cities,” as the knowledge base of regional innovation systems.

The economies of mankind have evolved dramatically over time. From hunter-gatherers, we settled down once
we discovered the art of farming, thereby giving rise to the first settlements and the first true economies.
Nevertheless, as settlements became towns we became reliant on trading, even more so as empires started to
flourish in the ancient times. This, in turn, resulted in a manufacturing base which grew rapidly with the start of
the industrial era in the 1800’s which further cemented the dominant position that the West had in the world.
However, as we know, it did not stop there and soon it became apparent that in order to manage such complex
systems, information and knowledge was required. The age of the knowledge worker was upon us and it is estimated by the IDC that the growth rate of knowledge workers worldwide doubled compared to that of other occupations between 1999 and 2007. This has underpinned the continuing economic growth of the West, but also necessitated structural changes in its economies as knowledge work differs not only from manual work in that it delivers information rather than goods, but it also requires higher degrees of flexibility and autonomy and
is reliant on innovation driven by collaboration. This, in turn, necessitates different systems, working practices, technology and organisational models.
Whilst the West has been building up its knowledge industry, it did so at the expense of its manufacturing
industry as its citizens became wealthier and rising labour costs made it economically unviable to compete with
developing countries who were not burdened with such welfare and legacy costs. The result was a notable shift
in manufacturing from the developed countries towards the developing countries, but as the latter ones are
building up their product base too, many of them are now also undergoing a rapid transition into knowledge
based industries.

SMART CEO Garry Bowditch was an invited speaker at a 2012 APEC meeting in Kuala Lumpur. Garry's talk was about infrastructure challenges associated with the extraordinary growth of Asian cities.
Sometimes the word extraordinary is overused but in this case the urbanisation process is profound because in the next forty years over 75% of humanity will live in mega cities & yet only occupy collectively four percent of the earth's surface.
This document discusses the need for smart communities in the 21st century. It notes that the world is becoming increasingly urbanized and populations are aging. Smart communities can help address these challenges by using technology to improve quality of life, economic development, and public services. The document advocates for open broadband networks to connect citizens, businesses, and government agencies. This will allow communities to benefit from e-commerce, e-education, e-health, and other applications to enrich daily life. Smart communities are driven by innovation and public-private partnerships to tackle issues like mobility, the environment, and a sustainable economy.
Megacities may be congested and complex but they are also among the planet’s most exciting places to live. They have proven effective in stimulating creativity, innovation and economic development; factors that often lead to improved quality of life.
A new report, The Next Age of Megacities takes a closer look at how the largest cities in the world can use ICT to address their evolving challenges in a holistic, proactive and collaborative way, through a city management model.
Last year, Ericsson published a report, The Three Ages of Megacities that looked at how the maturity level of a city can help identify the most appropriate ICT solutions.
This document identifies several important mega trends that will impact business, society, and culture by 2020. It analyzes 16 key mega trends through a research methodology involving brainstorming sessions, scenario building, and analyzing implications. The mega trends include rapid urbanization, the rise of Generation Y, increasing women's empowerment, growth of the global middle class, and the development of smart cities. The document also summarizes implications of these mega trends for various industries and functions such as healthcare, energy, transportation, and technology.

Emerging technologies like cloud computing, mobile apps, and social media are transforming businesses and Thailand aims to capitalize on opportunities in these areas to drive economic growth as part of its ICT 2020 strategy.
Smart Cities - Why they're not working for us yet.Rick Robinson
My presentation to the April 2016 Eurocities Knowledge Sharing Forum in Rennes. My focus was on describing Smart Cities as an economic and political challenge; and exploring the policy mechanisms that could be used to incentivise private sector investments in business and technology to support local social, economic and environmental outcomes. Further description and supporting evidence for these ideas can be found at https://theurbantechnologist.com/2016/02/01/why-smart-cities-still-arent-working-for-us-after-20-years-and-how-we-can-fix-them/
Arab Future Cities Summit (Doha, 22APR2013 clean)Lynn Reyes
Presentation made at the Arab Future Cities Summit in Doha. With more new cities being built in the region than any other in the world, a profound opportunity to start smarter.
The Smart City World Congress brings together over 300 experts from over 20 countries to share their visions and experiences in shaping sustainable urban development. The focus is on developing smart cities that improve quality of life through more efficient use of resources and new technologies. Key themes of the Congress include urban planning, energy, environment, transportation and engaging citizens. Barcelona is highlighted as an early pioneer in smart city initiatives and the ideal host for an event addressing the challenges of urbanization, climate change, and developing more livable and economically vibrant 21st century cities.
The document discusses standardization initiatives for smart cities at the international and national levels. At the international level, organizations like ISO, IEC, and BSI are working to develop standards, though none have been formally adopted yet. BSI has published several preliminary documents on smart city terminology, frameworks, and planning guidelines. In India, multiple ministries are involved in smart city standardization efforts. BIS has several existing construction and infrastructure standards relevant to smart cities. A new BIS sectional committee has been formed to develop Indian standards for smart city conceptualization, planning, development, and assessment.
The document discusses India's journey towards an inclusive information society through e-governance initiatives. It provides an overview of India's ICT sector facts and demographics. It then discusses key lessons learned from India's National e-Governance Plan including the use of public-private partnerships and case studies on e-procurement and the Madhya Pradesh Online project.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
