Smart city for developing countries, Algiers, September 2015Isam Shahrour
Conference of professor Isam Shahrour at the Summer School on Nanostructure and Applications SSNA’2015, Algiers, September 10, 2015.
The conference concerns the use of the Smart Concept in developing countries. It presents successively the main challenges of developing countries, the smart city concept, why this concept is relevant for developing countries and the implementation of this concept through SunRise project “Large Scale demonstrator of the Smart City”.
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.
The document summarizes Korea's policy for supporting the development of a platform economy. It discusses Korea's economic growth and challenges in maintaining growth rates. It also outlines the opportunities and challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. Korea's government aims to support the platform economy by acting as a leader, supplier, facilitator, market maker, and regulator. Specific policies mentioned include establishing nine national strategic projects focused on emerging technologies, conducting new R&D projects through open citizen participation, setting up an AI research center through public-private collaboration, establishing test beds for smart technologies, and designating regulation-free zones to promote new industries with relaxed regulations.
The document is a 2012 white paper from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that discusses information and communications trends in Japan. It finds that:
1) While ICT has contributed significantly to economic growth globally and in Japan, Japan's ICT industries and user adoption is lagging compared to other developed countries.
2) The proliferation of smartphones and ubiquitous networks is driving a "Smart Revolution" that is transforming ICT industries and society. However, Japan has been slow to capitalize on these trends globally.
3) Lessons from the 2011 earthquake showed the important role ICT can play in disaster response, but more remains to be done to promote ICT adoption in Japan, especially in the public sector

Smart city: Case Study Seoul, North KoreaSandeEp VeRma
The document discusses Seoul, South Korea as a smart city, highlighting several aspects of its smart infrastructure and initiatives. Seoul aims to utilize smart technologies through its 'Smart Seoul 2015' project to improve urban development. Key smart infrastructure projects discussed include: (1) embedding fiber-optic cable along subway tunnels to provide free public Wi-Fi, (2) installing smart meters to reduce energy use by 10%, (3) mobile apps and services to provide public information and emergency alerts, and (4) using 3D spatial information for flood simulation and infrastructure planning. The goal is to make the city more livable, sustainable and efficient for residents through improved connectivity, services and resource management.
From Rubbles to Smart City: The Case Study of Korean Smart CitiesJin-Hyeok Yang
The document discusses several case studies of Korean smart cities, including Dongtan, Songdo, and Seoul. Dongtan was Korea's first operational smart city located near Seoul, with integrated infrastructure and services focused on safety, transportation, and the environment. Songdo is a large new smart city development near Incheon with a public-private partnership model. Seoul launched its Smart Seoul 2015 initiative to expand smart infrastructure and services across the city, including participatory government programs and future initiatives around safety, transportation and the economy.
The document discusses Korea's achievements and challenges in information and communication technologies. It notes that while Korea has seen robust growth in its ICT sector GDP share, exports, consumption, and R&D, growth rates have begun converging to zero recently. It also discusses challenges from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, including potential job losses, need for reskilling workers, and implications for industry and barriers/promoters. The document argues comprehensive government strategies are needed to respond proactively to changes from new computing paradigms.

This document discusses trends in information technology and the changing role of the CIO. It notes that CIOs must now focus on both engaging customers through digital experiences as well as maintaining backend systems. There is a divide between traditional IT operations and new "engagement systems" focused on personalization, mobility, social media, and analytics. The role of the CIO is shifting from a focus on transactions to driving differentiation and innovation through customer-centric digital strategies. Mobility and creating engaging digital experiences for customers on any device are also discussed as top priorities.

This document discusses Thailand's ICT status and vision for 2020. It provides statistics on internet, mobile, and social media users in Thailand. It outlines Thailand's goals to have 95% broadband access by 2020 and increase the ICT industry contribution to GDP. 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.
The document discusses smart grids and smart cities. It states that smart grids and smart cities are political choices for citizens that will require adaptation, but they may also be interesting and fun. The presentation was given by Olivier Cateura, an assistant professor from Grenoble Ecole de Management, on smart grids, policy, and consumer choice.
Smart grids and smart cities are political choices for citizens rather than markets, according to Olivier Cateura. While they offer potential benefits, citizens will have to adapt to them and their development will be influenced more by laws and regulations than individual consumer needs or choices. However, Cateura believes smart energy systems could also be interesting and fun if properly implemented.
