• Urban world population keeps increasing, and according to United Nations, 69% of

the population will be living in cities worldwide in 2050. This scenario will increase the number and the complexity of the challenges to face, in socio-economic, political and environmental terms.

• For this reason, priorities in the cities have to evolve from an approach focused on

the support to rapid urban growth to another one oriented towards a higher quality and efficiency in urban management and in the services provided to the citizen.

• There are already different European cities which are developing technological

projects in the field of smart cities, but these projects have a limited impact and may lack an integrated approach to tackle these new challenges in an efficient way.

• Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are an essential enabler and

contributor to the Smart Cities and Communities initiative, providing the main technology building blocks to achieve such integrated approach and to support the Europe 2020 targets on climate and energy.

• Spain has invested heavily in the development of renewable energies, in energy

efficiency and in greenhouse gases reduction. Both through R&D, Infrastructures and market development (feed-in tarifs).

• Develop a thriving industry founded on technological innovation.
• The roll-out of renewable energies, transformation of energy grids, and basically our

new energy model, has become an interesting model, taken in many cases as a good example of cooperation between the public administration, business and social institutions.

• At the end of 2009, renewable energies covered approximately 11% of our final

energy consumption, and forecasts for 2020 indicate that we are going to achieve 20% target in 2010.

• There are numerous and successful smart actions carried out in Spanish cities that

combined the previous work for promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency.

• The Smart Cities initiative can offer solutions based on technology to cover the

different areas of activity (utilities and urban services, mobility, environment, construction, governance, citizen services) and to establish the conditions for the city competitiveness.

• In this context, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are an essential

enabler and contributor to the Smart Cities and Communities initiative, providing the main technology building blocks to achieve an integrated approach across European cities and to support the Europe 2020 targets on climate and energy.

• The realization of the Europe 2020 targets in this field is to be supported through the

investment in platforms, in the development of services, applications and business models, based on standards and focusing on interoperability.

Discussion Discussion

21

• A balanced co-existence of “technology-push” and “demand-pull” measures would

be highly beneficial and a good coverage of the innovation cycle is deemed very

• important. Public (mainly local and regional administration) and Private partnership

should be fostered.

• Finally, as a way forward it would be recommended to elaborate strategic agendas,

based on common elements but taking into account the different socio-economic and geographic characteristics, and to explore the use of a model “Core Platform – Use case areas” to reduce costs and allow for replication of applications.

• There is a need of common indicators to cooperate and compare already ongoing

initiatives and for the SC European initiative. Possible CSA on Indicators

• We need to cooperate and avoid duplicities – There is a need of a defined relation

among initiatives (e.g. Smart Cities and Communities Initiative launched by DG ENERGY).

• A joint call (ICT, Energy, Transport, NMP-Building and Environment) for Smart Cities

concept demonstration could help to pave the way for future developments.
