“Tail”
The operational basis by which data is consumed to add tangible value to key city stakeholdersThe ‘fuel’ that offers an exciting new city narrative
The means to configure, share, and interpret exponentially increasing volumes
The base level connectivity that supports the platform
A city-needs-led approach: not the “tail wagging the dog”
The Urban Platform is an important part in an evolving integrated solution architecture
“Dog”

75%Without UP
1. Poor knowledge of the landscape / lack of confidence in cities
2. Cities struggle to get the silos to work together, so prohibiting action
3. Cities suffer budget constraints

Accelerate the adoption of Urban Platforms in EU cities
By 2016 have reference templates for tenders in place to allow cities to plan in an integrated way
By 2018, create a strong EU city market for Urban Platforms By 2025, ensure that 300m residents of EU cities are supported by Urban Platform(s)
to manage their business with a city and that the city in turn drives efficiencies, insight and local innovation through the platform(s)
Bring together EU Industry to adopt common open solutions‐ Reference architecture‐ Standards‐ Scale

Demand-side city group
• Individual cities plus associations (in total ~90 cities)• Lead by the Greater London Authority• Main strategic targets:
• Taking a city-needs led approach that will move to a more common and aligned set of requirements, and more innovative business models and acquisition processes to acquire urban platforms
• Support assessment and development of a roadmapfor cities on the topic
• Mobilise the cities market of all sizes across EU to confidently embark on implementation – such that the bold take-up goals are met – and that they see the real value from collaborative activities and more common solutions
Demand-side group roadmap
• Validated Requirements Specification for Urban Platforms• Common core set of validated and tested city-needs-led requirements to support and accelerate
the acquisition of “Urban Platforms” by EU cities.
• Leadership Guide• Key issue guides that seek to inform city leaders on their urban platforms’ strategy, roadmap, and
decision making
• Management Framework• Organising frameworks that help decision makers to improve the quality of ‘smart’ cross-domain
integrated city management, and to understand key issues and means of resolution.

EIP SCC MoU for Open Urban Platforms
Working Model• Based on city demand requirements• Three workstreams established
• WS1: Standards & Standardization • WS2: Reference Architecture & Design
Principles • WS3: Scale
Current Status and Activities• Analysis of standardization base line of related
existing standards, primarily IoT standards;Develop landscape of urban platform relevant standards and propose potential necessary standardizations in co-ordination with project ESPRESSO
• Draft Reference Architecture and Design Principles Framework; Develop Reference Architecture Documentation
• Define and execute MoU dissemination and scale plan, including market perspectives, lighthouse projects, extend reach, based on business models
