HOW TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE CITIES

Living on the Intelligent City Platform http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/eis-ltd

To become intelligent, green and inclusive is the future of any modern city and community. Smart cities, strategies and technologies, are generating

interest globally to address the contemporary urban problems: rapid urbanization, stressed city finances, aging infrastructure, rising energy costs, global

warming, bad ecology, and competition for global investment and skilled labor, urban poverty, social exclusion and spatial marginalization.

The Smart City X Program aims to build a new city or to transform any modern city as environmentally sustainable, inter-connected, instrumented,

innovative, and integrated, regionally and globally attractive for businesses, citizens, visitors and investors. Considering the 21st century will be a century of

cities, most global investment and public funding will go for innovative city projects.

SMART CITY is to be managed by its urban brains, an intelligent city cloud smart computing platform, managing its resources, assets, processes and

systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy networks and Utilities, ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure, Public and

residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water and Waste management, Social infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and culture, Public

administration and services, Communities and Businesses. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/future-cities-27402134

WHAT IS A SMART CITY X: HOW IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED

A smart City X is replaceable by any future city or old and legacy city, from Adelaide to Peking to Limassol to Moscow to London to

Washington, but largely following to the same conception and definition.

There are many definitions of smart cities, from the infusion of ICT into urban systems to intelligent design and technological optimization

to reach full sustainability.

Specifically, a smart city is defined as one in which technology is integrated into a strategic approach to sustainability, citizen well-being,

and economic development. In essence, smart cities are a phenomenon created from the convergence of the challenges of modern

urbanization and the emergence of new technologies that can address them in a comprehensive way.

The smart city market is to be made up of five main industry sectors: smart energy (and the smart grid), smart transportation, smart water,

smart buildings, and smart government (including social services such as health, education, and security) (Navigant Research).

Demographic, environmental, economic, political and socio-cultural factors are forcing the urban world to become more efficient and

effective.

A real or true smart city is a unified urban entity with three critical layers/levels/spaces, all planned, developed and managed as its

integral parts:

Digital/ICT/Hi-Tech/Ubiquitous/Cyber/Mobile/Digitally Smart and Intelligent City (Digital/Information Capital; Digital Urban Spaces,

Multi-Play Telecom Network, ICT spaces/systems/applications, Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous Computation, Cloud Computing, Network-

integrated Real Estate, City OS, Intelligent City Management Platform, Augmented Virtual Reality, Virtual Lifestyle);

Sustainable/Ecological/Green/Zero-Carbon/Zero-Waste/Eco Friendly/Clean City (Natural Capital; Natural Urban Spaces and

Ecosystems, Green Energy Network, Real Eco Estate, Ecological buildings, Green Lifestyle);

Knowledge/Learning/Innovation/Intelligent/Science/Intellectual/LivingLab/Creative/Human/Social

/Inclusive City/Noopolis (Knowledge Capital; Innovation Systems, Meaningful Urban Spaces, Collective Intelligence, Knowledge

Triangle/Ecology, Health Triangle, Human Social City, Intelligent/Smart Lifestyle).

A truly smart city is three innovative cities in one, the Urban Trinity of Information Cyber City, Intelligent/Knowledge City and

Ecological/Clean city. It is essential to draw distinctions between a smart city, as a unified urban entity, and smart city technologies,

applications, and systems, as well as fragmented smart city projects, lacking the overall conception of the smart city project and

resulting in unsustainably over-costly ventures.

Smart City Program EIS Ltd 2014

HOW TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE CITIES SMART CITY X PLANNING SYSTEM

The Global Report on Human Settlements (Planning Sustainable Cities) argues that future urban planning must take place in

the context of the factors shaping 21st-century cities: environmental challenges; demographic challenges; economic

challenges; socio-spatial challenges and inequalities; political challenges of decision-making as well as of social and economic

rights among ordinary citizens.

The Report states: In many parts of the world, there still persist either conventional forms of urban planning, as in the

developing cities, or market-led urban development in the developed world, having serious and negative environmental and

social impacts.

Specifically, unrealistic urban planning regulations can force the poor to violate laws in order to survive, with more than 1

billion slum dwellers worldwide, just to double over the next generation, like the whole urban population.

The Smart City X Planning approach postulates that there must be a universal one size fits all model to sustainable

settlements fundamentally resolving critical urban issues (land use and environment, transportation and mobility, water,

waste, energy, environmental degradation, and social issues as poverty and social exclusion and displacement) regardless of

that each city is marked by its specific political systems, cultural settings, economic structures and ecological climates in which

it continually and historically evolves.

http://eu-smartcities.eu/blog/eu-urban-agenda-sustainable-cities-pilot-case-smart-limassol

The full concept of Smart City entails that there is a single model and universal approach to sustainable urban planning (in

large legacy cities > 0,5 m, new megacities > 10 m and hypercities > 20 m, as well as in medium-sized settlements, 0,1-0,5 m

and small urban places ,< 0,1m) that can solve fundamental urban problems and emerging urban challenges of the 21st

century. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smartworl-dabr

In sum, any sustainable city or intelligent community is to offer not only new or improved methods of urban development,

management and maintenance, but a comprehensive, holistic approach, embracing all city systems, processes, and service in

an integrated smart city urban planning, all to be run by intelligent management governance systems, the brains of the

Urban Internet of Everything. http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/CIT2011/files/SMARTWORLD.pdf


HOW TO REDEVELOP OLD CITIES: SMART URBAN RENEWAL

Applying an integrated urban planning (creating and following new regulations and standards for land use and zoning, ecology,

transportation, roads and streets, housing, sanitation, water supply, sewage, public spaces, public health conditions,

education, security and other social services)

Performing comprehensive urban renewal for a whole urban environment and living (rebuilding, land reuse, building,

rehabilitation, area conservation, relocation , or housing reform)

Taking into account the Urban context:

Population, density, area, climate, ecology and geography, economy, existing urban planning.)

Natural Resources demand (energy, water, food, land): eg, energy consumption per sector, CO2 emissions per sector, etc.

Natural Resources supply and infrastructure: eg, energy mix (share of renewables, fuel, nuclear), approx. energy price,

energy company, energy infrastructure (district heating, share of distributed generation)

Building stock: % residential sector, commercial sector, facilities, services, industry, number of units

Transport: modal split, multimodality, public transport characteristics, footing, cycling

Regional and national context: national conditions and incentives for sustainable development in your country (national

programmes, rules, incentives, tax regulations, implementation of standard directives)

City competences and resources: competences and resources under local governments in your country (compared to

regional, national governments) related to sustainable city policies; city budget dedicated to sustainable development policies.

Covering the systemic approach of the City Protocol , a new open, global, and progressive working framework for cities

worldwide to assess and improve performance in environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness, quality of life, and

city services, by innovating and demonstrating new leadership models, new ways of engaging society, and by leveraging

new ICT The city should be adaptive, learning, evolving, robust, autonomous, self-repairing, and self-reproducing.

SMART MEGATRENDS: SMART CITY GLOBAL COMPETITION

The question of who is to lead the future cities market is getting a global meaning as far as global competitors are actively pursuing large Smart City

programs as part of smart revolutions: http:// www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smart-revolution

In its Five-Year National Planning, Chinas future smart cities are to become a main driver of its urbanization process, with 2 trillion yuan ($322 billion)

to be allocated to more than 600 cities nationwide.

http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smart-china

Chinas going for the business as usual approach consisting in requesting the fragmented services from the increasing army of urban planners and

architects, operators and exporters of smart city technologies, products and services, which SMART City X should avoid: Following the India Vision

2020, the nation is embarking on an ambitious $90 billion two-phase industrial program to build new industrial cities as smart, sustainable cities of the

future, along a territorial corridor, spanning six states, connecting two capitals, Delhi and Mumbai, and affecting 14% of India s population.

Conceptualized with the Government of Japan, the DMIC program master plan is mostly focusing on deploying next generation technologies and

road/rail/air connectivity and infrastructure linkages, with 24 economic nodes, investment regions and industrial areas. The goal is to expand

national manufacturing and services base, becoming a "Global Manufacturing and Trading Hub, minimizing green growth and social development

programs.

The Japanese Government created a FutureCity with a goal to construct sustainable cities with superior environmental technologies, core

infrastructure and resilience all over the worldto advance the Future City model of urban planning with state-of-the-art environmental sustainability,

strong disaster resilience and superb livability. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smart-japan

The European Union has embarked on a long-term strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. There are more than 100 000 cities, towns

and communities in EU, with a fierce competition for resources, local, regional and global, and public and private capital. Only innovative cities, towns

and communities with innovative public projects will have a strong competitive advantage.

http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/urban-europe

The European Commission established a European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Smart Cities and Communities.

http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smart-europe

Russias expenses just for its intelligent model community (Skolkovo Innovation Center) might exceed $15 billion, not mention ing its planned

multibillion infrastructure projects. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/sustainable-russia

Again, following the mega trend of smart global urbanization, the UK Government organized the Smart Cities Forum coordinated by Technology Strategy

Board, with very useful initiative of the Future Cities Demonstrator competition:

http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/smart-britain


AN URBAN WORLD AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES: THE CASE OF URBAN I-EUROPE 2020

The recent EU Future CITIES major forum signaled that an Urban Europe Agenda is getting an official attention as a key mechanism of the EU

Strategy 2020, developing the smart, sustainable, and inclusive Europe:


Among the questions for debates there were as follows:

Why do we need an EU urban agenda?

What should an EU urban agenda be?

How can an EU urban agenda be implemented?

If the first question is just rhetorical, the rest two bear critical importance , as indicated, in Europe there are more than 100,000 cities and

communities, with almost 80% as urban dwellers, all looking to improve their communal wealth and urban life through sustainable integrated

solutions.

To be most effective, we believe, an EU urban agenda should be a Global Comprehensive Strategy and Reference Framework for sustainable

cities and intelligent communities, comprising the following key features:

Guiding principles with a system of goals and objectives with measurable targets

Integrated sustainable urban development policy covering the economic, environmental, climate, political, technological and social challenges of

urban life Integrated investment strategy meeting the economic, environmental, political, technological, digital and social problems of urban life

Implementation roadmap to realize integrated territorial re/development in the most systematic ways (to secure a minimum of 5 % of the ERDF

resources allocated for integrated actions for sustainable urban development)

Urban Europe Development Platform for coordinating actors and policies, European, national and local:

http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/urban-europe

In all, on the European level, the Urban Europe Intelligent InterCloud Platform is proposed, where each MS and major city will be featured by its

smart cloud system.

On the urban level, each intelligent community and smart city is projected to be managed by its urban brains, an intelligent city cloud platform,

managing its resources, assets, processes and systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy networks and Utilities,

ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure, Public and residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water and Waste management, Social

infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and culture, Public administration and services, Communities and Businesses.

SMART CITY X INVESTMENT STRATEGY

In 2014-2015, Most Worldwide Spending on Smart City Projects Will Be Focused on Intelligent ICT, Energy, Transportation, and

Public Safety, mainly Funded by National or International Government and governed by Joint Ventures or PPP.

The Smart City X Investment Strategy aims to transform a city as an intelligent eco city: environmentally sustainable, inter-

connected, instrumented, innovative, and integrated, regionally and globally attractive for businesses, citizens, visitors and

investors.

Its Vision is to become a Smart City of the Future, Intelligent Eco City or Smart Sustainable Urban Community.

While operating, SMART City X is to be managed by its urban brains, an intelligent city cloud platform, managing its

resources, assets, processes and systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy networks and

Utilities, ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure, Public and residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water and Waste

management, Social infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and culture, Public administration and services, Communities

and Businesses.

As the key challenges, there are recognized the lack of technology and business models standardization, price competition and

poor partnership, when each player protects its IP, thus failing to establish a working consortium of general contractors,

architect firms, housing companies, IT vendors, auto companies, electronics companies and energy suppliers

Thus, to build a real intelligent community or smart city, all the key sectors of communal life should be covered: land and

environment, transportation, mobility, energy, buildings, ICT, water, waste, health, education, safety and security, and other

social services, as closely interconnected and interfaced.

Capitalizing on intelligent strategic planning and digital solutions, Smart City X is setting forward a total strategic investment

package of the next-generation urban development, bettering the existing Smart City Value Chain of Plan, Research/FS and

Implementation: {Concept, Design > Estate/Land Space Plan} > {Environment/energy plan> [Traffic plan/Water plan/IT

plan/Business plan] >Financing} > {EPC > Production > Device Installation > Infrastructure Supply > Life Support > Community

Activities}. (see Smart City Planning, Inc., World Cities Summit, 2012).

The starting point is the recognition that sustainable urban development, with each of its four

pillars, as ecological, economic, social and technological, reinforced and mutually reinforcing, is

the overarching goal of the urban community

Green City X has to adopt and implement urban policies and programs that are consistent

with a green economy in the context of eco-sustainable development, urban wealth or poverty

eradication.

education

quality jobs,

safety, security and health

All that contribute to sustainable living, improving and strengthening commune life, economy

and urban society.


SMART CITY X AS A LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT MEMBER

Smart City X has an opportunity to apply for the planned Lighthouse Projects, inviting institutions, public

bodies, industries, city networks, and academia to proactively contribute to the cause.

To deploy smart city solutions across urban mobility; districts and built environment; and integrated

infrastructures, reaching Europe's 20/20/20 energy and climate targets, the concept of Smart City

Lighthouse Initiatives is to be implemented, requesting collaboration between the European Commission,

Member States and Industry, as well as cities and research institutions.

Over the next 7 years, a portfolio of at least 20 - 25 lighthouse projects is to be created: each with 6-10 cities

(and partners), with the potential for Europe-wide roll out dependent on levels of commitment, and access

to/creation of funds.

Successful lighthouse initiatives will provide a solid foundation and give confidence to other cities, in the

knowledge they can apply tested solutions (and that have already attracted investment) that will be better,

faster, and cheaper to implement a Europe-wide deployment of Smart City concepts. .

Implementation principles to be guided: close cityindustry collaboration; outcome and user-centric

approach to service design; open governance and information principles; inclusive and balanced SME

participation; integration of physical and digital infrastructures; actively seek to innovate, learn, and share

knowledge; collaborative governance.

SMART AND SUSTAINABLE CITY: CSF FUNDS FOR INTEGRATED SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Smart City X is to be indicated as a city implementing integrated and innovative actions for sustainable urban development with delegated

management in the Partnership Contract and the Operational Programmes to have the EU CSF Funding 2014- 2020 benefits:

Ring-fencing funding for integrated sustainable urban development A minimum of 5 % of the ERDF resources allocated to each Member State

shall be invested in integrated actions for sustainable urban development implemented through the Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) tool,

with the management and implementation delegated to cities (Article 7 paragraph 2 of the proposed ERDF regulation).

The form and degree of the delegation of the management to the cities may vary according to the institutional arrangements of each Member

State.

The cities implementing integrated actions for sustainable urban development with delegated management should be included in a list

accompanying the Partnership Contracts (Article 7, paragraph 2) and the operational programme (Article 87, paragraph 2 [c]). These lists are

indicative and could be modified during the course of the programming period.

Urban Development Platform: Based on a list of cities prepared by Member States in their Partnership Contract, the Commission will establish an

Urban Development Platform comprising 300 cities throughout Europe, which will stimulate a more policy-oriented dialogue on urban

development between the cities at European level and the Commission.

It is not a funding instrument, but rather a mechanism for making the contribution of cities under cohesion policy to the Europe 2020 Strategy

more visible, facilitating integrated and innovative actions for sustainable urban development and capitalising on the results (Article 8 of the

proposed ERDF regulation).

Operations supported by several funds, multi-fund Operational Programmes and cross-financing: The implementation of integrated urban

development strategies will be enhanced by the possibility to combine actions financed by ERDF, ESF and CF either at programme or operation

level.

Cross-financing between ERDF and ESF of a part of an operation (up to 5 % of each priority axis of an Operational Programme) will remain to

complement the multi-fund approach (Article 55, paragraph 8 and 88 of the proposed Common Provisions for CSF Funds 2014-2020).

The Scale and Scope of ITI: the financing of integrated actions is to be ranging from neighbourhood or district level to functional areas such as

city-regions or metropolitan areas including neighbouring rural areas.

Besides, the innovative urban actions (0,2% of the total ERDF allocation) are supported as urban pilot projects, demonstration projects, etc.,

covering all thematic objectives and investment priorities.
