SMART CITIES

AN EXPRESSION WITH MULTIPLE MEANINGS

• A mechanism to overcome the limitations of traditional urban development that

tends to manage urban infrastructure systems in silos.

• A platform to leverage data and services offered by digital technologies to connect

city stakeholders, improve citizen involvement, offer new or enhance existing services, and provide context-aware views on city operations.

• A city-wide digital infrastructure to integrate different urban infrastructure

systems including energy, water, sewage, or transport, and enable efficient management, control and optimization of such systems.

SMART CITIES DIGITAL CITY

integrates digital technologies into the city’s core infrastructure systems

INTELLIGENT CITY

rely on the Digital City infrastructure to build intelligent buildings, transportation systems, schools, enterprises, public spaces, public services, etc, and integrate them into intelligent urban systems.

SMART CITY

deploy intelligent urban systems to serve socio-economic, cultural and ecological development, and improve quality of life.

Driving forces: Urbanization and digitization

Cities occupy approximately 2% of world land, however… the high density of cities can bring efficiency gains and technological innovation while reducing resource and energy consumption

SMART CITIES

DIGITIZATION Societal Impact of digital technologies on the urban landscape e.g. the everyware trend

• Sharing economy, through technology-enabled platforms which reduce drastically

the transaction and friction costs on sharing an asset or providing a service.

• Consume: services vs products; data-enhanced commodities; flexible markets.
• Employment, emergence of new, different jobs: talent rather than capital, will

become the critical production factor.

• Nature of work, based on a human-cloud and the emergence of new types of jobs

flexible and inherently transient: every worker has essentially become a contractor.

• Shift from hierarchical to collaborative organizational models

SMART CITIES

EXAMPLE TARGETS

• adequate, safe and affordable housing,

transports and basic services

• reduced adverse environmental impact
• safeguard the world’s cultural and natural

heritage

• positive economic, social and environmental

links between urban and rural areas

• integrated policies towards inclusion, resource

efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters INCLUSIVE, SAFE, RESILIENT AND SUSTAINABLE CITIES

SUSTAINABLE SMART CITIES SUSTAINABILITY DIGITIZATION

URBANIZATION

Focuses on a continuous transformative process, based on stakeholder engagement and collaboration, and building different types of human, institutional and technical capacities. Contributes to improving the quality of life by pursuing socio-economic development and protecting natural resources among other locally-defined priorities.

SMART SUSTAINABLE SMART CITIES

No off-the-shelf solutions: Every solution must to be adapted to and validated in the local context, and any strategy must be formulated and owned by the main city stakeholders.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY

THE VALUE OF AN INTEGRATED PERSPECTIVE Predicting the future is perilous. In this case, however, two factors point us in this direction.

• 1. Several key mobility trends—electrification, shared mobility, and autonomy—are

poised to take off.

• 2. Second, and just as important, trends in related areas reinforce one another.

Urbanization is expected to increase average city density by 30 percent over the next 15 years, stretching existing systems as demand rises. Urban planners and residents are putting livability and sustainability higher on their agendas. Increased connectivity is opening the door to multiple shared-mobility options and could also help to smooth traffic flows.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY

THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY Today, a small number of cities, such as Amsterdam, Singapore, and Stockholm, are singled out as having effective mobility. With varying degrees of emphasis, they have efficient public transit, encourage cycling and walking, and have managed to limit congestion and pollution. By 2030, we expect a number of additional systems to be at the leading edge of the next phase of advanced mobility.

THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY

CLEAN AND SHARED - Delhi, Mexico City, and Mumbai are examples of densely populated metropolitan areas in developing countries. They are

• all experiencing rapid urbanization,
• and they all suffer from congestion and poor air quality.

For cities like these, the widespread use of self-driving cars may not be an option in the short

• r medium term, because of poor infrastructure, interference from pedestrians, a variety of

vehicles on the road, and a lack of clear adherence to traffic regulations. The approach most likely to apply is a shift to cleaner transport, in the form of Electric-Vehicles (Evs) , while also limiting private car ownership, optimizing shared mobility, and expanding public transit.

THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY

PRIVATE AUTONOMY –

• Consumers will embracing new vehicle technologies, such as self-driving and electric

vehicles.

• Dedicated road space, for example, could be allocated to self-driving vehicles.
• Connectivity could make it easier to implement demand-driven congestion charges,

which could increase road capacity while limiting new construction.

• Car sharing and ride hailing could emerge as complementary options but would not

replace the private car on a large scale.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY

THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY

SEAMLESS MOBILITY - This is the most radical departure from today’s reality. In the near term, it is likeliest to emerge in densely populated, high-income cities such as Chicago, Hong Kong, London, and Singapore.

• Mobility is predominantly door to door and on demand.
• Travelers have many clean, cheap, and flexible ways to get around, and the

boundaries among private, shared, and public transport are blurred.

• Mobility is delivered through a combination of self-driving, shared vehicles, with high-

quality public transit as the backbone.

• EVs become far more common, spurred by economics, consumer interest, incentives,

and the creation of low-emission zones. And all this is enabled through the use of smart software platforms that manage multimodal traffic flows and deliver mobility as a service.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY

THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY EFFECTS Combined, such models could apply to around 50 urban areas globally—representing some 500 million people—but the majority of cities are expected to develop more incrementally. Cities are most prone to accelerated uptake based on a ranking of metrics, including income, population, government effectiveness, level of public-transit development, congestion, and pollution. Each model can deliver significant benefits, such as saving time, reducing congestion, and improving air quality. Possible cumulative societal benefits until 2030: $2,800 per person for Clean and Shared, mostly in the form of improved safety; $3,300 for Private Autonomy (boosting 2030 GDP by 0.9 percent); and $7,400 per person for Seamless Mobility (boosting 2030 GDP by 3.9 percent).
