On 10 July 2012, the European Commission launched the Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership under the responsibility of
Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, Sustainable and Secure Society, Smart Cities and Sustainability. The
partnership proposes to pool resources to support the demonstration of energy, transport and information and communication technologies (ICT) in
urban areas: C(2012)4701 final, 10.7.2012
The energy, transport and ICT industries are invited to work together with cities to combine their technologies to address cities' needs. This will enable
innovative, integrated and efficient technologies to roll out and enter the market more easily, while placing cities at the centre of innovation. The funding
will be awarded through yearly calls for proposals under "Horizon 2020", the new research and innovation funding framework under the next Multiannual
Financing Framework (MFF 2014-2020).

Definition and Goals:
Smart Cities are defined as systems of people interacting with and using flows of energy, materials, services and financing to catalyse
sustainable economic development, resilience, and high quality of life; these flows and interactions become smart through making
strategic use of information and communication infrastructure and services in a process of transparent urban planning and management
that is responsive to the social and economic needs of society.
Goals: 1. negotiate obstacles to smart cities, to co-fund demonstration projects and to help coordinate existing city initiatives and projects,
by pooling its resources together; 2. establish strategic partnerships between industry, financial institutions, and European cities to
develop the urban systems and infrastructures of tomorrow; 3. combine ICT, energy management and transport management to create
innovative solutions to the major urban environmental, societal and health challenges.

The Smart Limassol Strategic Planning is to cover the SIP
of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities:
 Sustainable Urban Mobility – Alternative energies,
public transport, efficient logistics, planning;
 Sustainable Districts and Built Environment –
improving the energy efficiency of buildings and districts,
increasing the share of renewable energy sources used
and the liveability of our communities;
 Integrated Infrastructures and processes across
Energy, ICT and Transport – connecting infrastructure
assets to improve the efficiency and sustainability of
cities
The Plan puts forward eight key horizontal enablers on
the themes of Decisions, Insight, and Financing.
Eleven inter-dependent priority areas are considered to
be the most important concerning Smart Cities and
Communities, and the intersection with the areas of
energy, transport and ICT, as in the diagram, Priority
Areas.
Each priority area is to be specified against: context and
challenges; drivers and goals; and actions to perform.

Smart Limassol will be presented as an active member of the planned 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, reaching Europe's 20/20/20 energy and climate targets, 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.
Successful lighthouse initiatives will provide a solid foundation and give confidence to other cities, in the
knowledge they can apply tested solutions (and that have already attracted investment) – that will be better,
faster, and cheaper to implement a Europe-wide deployment of Smart City concepts. .
Implementation principles to be guided: close city–industry collaboration; outcome and user-centric
approach to service design; open governance and information principles; inclusive and balanced SME
participation; integration of physical and digital infrastructures; actively seek to innovate, learn, and share
knowledge; collaborative governance.

As the cities, regions and corridors get
aggregated, this will necessitate the
development of Smart Cities to increase the
urban performance, wealth, productivity, and
wellbeing.
Given the tendency of integration of the core city
with its suburbs (suburbanization or urban
sprawl), and daughter cities (city networking),
there are 3 types of intelligent growth for
Limassol:
Metropolis, or Mega City: Integration of
core city with suburbs, downtowns and local
communities.
Mega Region: Integration of two or more cities
or expansion of city to join with neighbouring
cities to form a Mega Region.
Mega Corridor: Urbanization Corridors
connecting two or more Mega Cities or Mega
Regions, converging to form a Mega Corridor,
distinguished by the following features>>>>
