What is a Smart City? Many very different definitions
Integration (from British Standards Institute, PAS180, 2014):
The effective integration of physical, digital and human systems in the built
environment to deliver sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future for its
citizens
Qualifying criteria (Dept. Bus Innovation & Skills, 2013):
1. Modern digital infrastructure, providing access to re-usable data
2. Citizen-centric services
3. Intelligent physical infrastructure, i.e. Internet of Things
4. Openness to learn from others
5. Transparency of outcomes
6. Clear and consistent vision
Wiki definition gives a broad full view
A smart city uses ICT to enhance quality and performance of urban services,
to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively
and actively with its citizens.
Sectors that have been developing smart city technology include:
• government services
• transport and traffic management
• energy
• health care
• water and waste.
Smart city applications are developed with the goal of improving the
management of urban flows and allowing for real time responses to
challenges.
A smart city may therefore be more prepared to respond to challenges than
one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens.

Trends in Urbanization
The world’s cities occupy just 2% of the Earth’s land, but account for up to 80% of energy consumption and 75% of carbon dioxide emissions (UN, 2014).

Reality of Songdo:• Popular with residents• Green spaces• Slow rise in commercial occupation
But can ‘Smart City’ be a distraction?
Ajmer in northern India has been selected by the Indian government to be one of 100 smart cities.
Link to Sustainability
Smart, Sustainable, Resilient and Healthy City concepts overlap but are not identical…
Role of Standards
Standards Gap Analysis by BSI
How will city authorities set their objectives for
smart cities and measure progress?
How can cities create the shared
understanding to deliver the vision?
How will information be captured and shared
between infrastructure and services?
What risks are there in moving to smart city
services and how can these be managed?
Standards Produced

Role of Big Data
Data parameters:
• 3 Vs: Volume, Variety, Velocity
• Open / Shared / Closed:
Sector examples:
• Smart grid technologies, to
improve energy efficiency.
• Mobile applications
Open Data for Economic Growth (World Bank, 2014)
defines five archetypes of open Data Businesses:
Suppliers – organisations publishing their data as
open data to allow others to use and re-use it.
Aggregators – organisations collecting and
aggregating open data as well as, sometimes, other
proprietary data.
Developers – organisations and individual
developers designing, building and selling web or
smartphone applications using open data.
Enrichers – organisations using open data to gain
new or better insights that they can deliver in
services or products to their customers.
Enablers – organisations providing platform and
technologies for use by other businesses and
individuals.
Ubiquitous sensors in Chicago
Sensors measure: temperature, barometric pressure, light, vibration, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, ambient sound intensity, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and surface temperature.Data will be public
Building Blocks of the Internet of Things
• Objects, for example
sensors, smartphones, cars
• Communication networks for
interconnection, e.g.
broadband, 4G, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth
• Computing systems that
process the data, including
storage, analytics and
applications.
Barriers: Royal Academy of Engineering
Smart government – the need to create the right environment for investment in smart
infrastructure, particularly procurement that recognises the need to invest now to save
in the long term.
Data quality and management – the quality of data has to be known before it can be
used to optimise a system.
Privacy – an abundance of data already exists but a lack of availability or use derives
from security and privacy concerns as well as commercial considerations.
Investment – traditional methods of proving return on investment fail to take into
account the full complexity of a ‘system of systems’.
Vulnerability – interconnected systems introduce more vulnerabilities, particularly in
ICT systems, which could lead to a cascade of system failures.
Lifetime – infrastructure can be designed to last up to 100 years. If sensors are
embedded into this infrastructure, will their lifetime match that of the infrastructure
itself?Anything missing?

Key Performance Indicators for Smart & Sustainable Cities
ISO 37120 Sustainable Development of
Communities – Indicators for City Services and
Quality of Life:
Public data available on http://open.dataforcities.org/
Funded by the European Union HORIZON 2020
programme, CITYkeys will:
1)Develop and validate a transparent performance
evaluation framework: including KPIs definition,
guidelines for data collections, performance system
prototype and testing in case-cities
2) Develop recommendations for the implementation
of the performance system into the cities decision-
making process and recommendations for the
development of new business
3) Engage stakeholders in identifying and exploiting
opportunities for synergy and replicability; and
establish a collaboration platform for European cities
