The unstoppable migration (1)

• The world is undertaking the largest wave of urban growth in history, by 2050, global urban population will double (UN)

• To sustain this major demographic shift, they will need to behave differently, including sustainability in their DNA.

Public services (from stoneage to 3.0)

• 0 -> 1980: « stone age » public services (manual work, poor efficiency)

• 1980 -> 2000: IT as enabler for backend processes (increase internal automation, reduce errors, work faster)

• 2000 -> 2010: IT as enabler for better services to the citizens (e-gov services)

• 2010+: Reinforcement of e-gov services (first m-gov services, social network presence and citizens polls)

• 2015+: Personalized citizens’ services based on open standard, aggregation of open data and availability of public ICT platforms (m-gov apps)

The Smart City (1)

• Citizen’s centric city where advanced ICT is used to leverage citizen participation for urban sensing by insuring constant exchange of information personalized to the citizen’s needs and preferences.

Apr 13, 2023 10

The Smart City (2)

• Cities need to abandon the top-down approach and consider grassroots, bottom-up processes for sensing the dynamics of the city based on citizen’s participation.

Apr 13, 2023 11

Some examples: Streetpage

• Streetpage has created a website for every street, including yours. Get in touch with your neighbours and make your daily life easier.

• Bottom-up citizen-centric social network

Apr 13, 2023 12

Some examples: Fixmystreet

• Fixmystreet allows citizens to report infrastructure problems (streets, graffitis, parcs, …)

• Online follow-up available

Apr 13, 2023 13

Some examples: Budget participatif (Paris)

• Le budget participatif propose aux Parisiens de décider de l'utilisation de 5 % du budget d'investissement, soit 426 millions d'euros entre 2014 et 2020.

Apr 13, 2023 14

Some examples: Smart Brussels

• Smart.brussels uses the IT levers of a smart city to promote the quality of life in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Tech, processes & governance (1)
