DESCRIPTION
Presentation at Information Access in Smart Cities workshop in Amsterdam, 13/04/2014 - on how smart citizens should be the focus in smart cities, and what CitySDK does to make it possible. The presentation starts with some design rules for smarter cities, then introduces Waag Society, and quickly moves on to the Amsterdam Case for Open Data. Then the shortcomings of this approach are described, after which it introduces the City Service Development Kit - a set of bottom up, harmonized API's for software development that scales across cities and countries. Some examples are presented, and it gets back to the central thesis: design smart cities with the people, not for or against them.

Smart Cities,Smart Citizens and
the case for CitySDK.Frank Kresin
Research Director@kresin / [email protected]
Design Rules for Smarter Cities• Your citizens know more than you. • Prototype early and fast, engage the stakeholders, iterate quickly and be
prepared to start all over.• Embrace self-organisation and civic initiative, but help to make the results
sustainable and scalable.• Know what you are talking about in the face of technology. Never rely on
consultants that will sell you more consultancy, not solutions.• Have binding decisions made at the lowest level possible and actively preach
self-governance.• Favour loosely coupled, smaller systems over monoliths and mastodons, and
use peer-defined standards to glue together the parts. Small systems tend to fail sometimes; large systems fail for sure.
• To raise and deserve trust, build systems based on data reciprocity and transparency.
• Reuse existing parts and design your additions for reuse, adding to the public domain and thereby strengthening its capacity to act and learn.

Principles:
Best producer is the user
(S)he can learn to make anything
Sharing is key to innovation
Making is crucial to understand & act in the world

City SDK

Open, interoperable service interfaces.Processes, guidelines and usability standards. Sharing, re-using and transferring city solutions across cities.Not inventing from the scratch, but mapping, using & developing global best practices
What is SDK?
SDK = Service Development Kit
27
Problem: Lack of Interoperability
Formats and APIs vary between cities
•‘Open’ interfaces to existing systems are not uniform even within cities
•Documentation is lacking as well
Scaling an app from one city to another =
Solution: CityAPIs
CityAPIsOpen uniform interfaces
Scaling an app from one city to another =
