Berec Workshop

Bologna City Council

13 OCTOBER 2016 ING. ALBERTO NUZZO “Digital Infrastructure Office” Digital Agenda and Information Technology


Public-private cooperation to reduce the cost of deploying high-speed networks and promote consumer welfare


EU Digital Agenda

By 2020, all Europeans should have access to connections with bandwidth above 30 Mbps, and at least 50% of EU households should have connections above 100 Mbps


The Digital Agenda of Bologna

The Digital Agenda of Bologna City Council must contribute towards increasing citizen involvment and industrial productivity; through the use of technology by linking lifestyles and consumption. It has to serve the aspirations of residents, tourists and workers


1. Digital Law / Internet as a right

2. Law of Participation / Citizen involvment

The road map that starts the first process through two main points:

The Digital Agenda of Bologna


• Tool to exercise Participation Law:

IPERBOLE makeover

• Tool to exercise Digital Law:

Infrastructure

Exerting my legal right if I have the tools to do it


Strategic choice: Wi-Fi Wired Networks

Digital Infrastructure


Wi-Fi

Bologna City Council has a coverage of about 150 places in the city

Bologna City Council has modified the municipal regulations, changing the regulation about “dehors”:

“In all dehors free Wi-Fi access”


• The Public Sector – we have created MAN

– MAN council department s (150 department connected up to fiber opctics)

– MAN libraries (all public libraries linked with fiber opctics )

– MAN school (all school at all levels)

• The Private Sector – create conditions to bring connectivity, allowing for more competition, to give citizen the choice of differenteoffers

Wired Networks

Cable Networks for us means Internet Ultra-broadband, and very high speed browsing → NOT ADSL


Facilities for :

1. Project planning

2. Manage request-response / authorizations

3. Carry out the project

The Private Sector

We have created the conditions to bring connectivity, creating processes facilitated by promoting cooperation


We have a SIT – Territorial Information System

• Excellent base mapping • Municipal infrastructure – technological tubes of municipal property

Project planning

We shared with the private companies our information and tecnological assets

Sottoservizi

Creation of a sub-services cadastre “Underground tubing infrastructure”


Sottoservizi CADASTRE of the technological infrastructure of the underground

We have began to populate with ours data available to help private companies for the project planning

Not only underground, but also “over-ground" and of all the Digital Infrastructure : • Wi-Fi • CCTV • Traffic lights • LTZ gates


Sottoservizi

By helping the planning of private companies we liked to challenge us and therefore we have included on cartographic layers the economic and socio-demographic data that characterize the area, creating a BOLOGNA MODEL

CADASTRE


Sottoservizi

We have developed an application to monitor the information of cadastre

Now we collaborate with other organizations for populating with information

CADASTRE


Manage request-response / authorizations

We have set up one single office:

Digital Infrastructure Office

For the underground involved more departments : • Mobility • Civil works • Road maintenance • Public green • Finance

Dept. Finance

Dept. Mobility

Dept. Public green

Dept. Road

Cadastre



The office coordinates the various department, it is a single channel to the outside. The office is super-partes because it hasn’t an objective in particular but just to have faster and stream lining processes

By using the cadastre helps the work of the various departments.

Working closely with both internal departments or with external entities we keep constantly updated cadastre. The departments are at the same time users and users of the cadastre.



DIRECTIVE 2014/61/EU

Measures to simplify granting procedures by reducing the number of permits needed to deploy electronic communications networks

Permits granting procedures are completed within reasonable deadlines



DIRECTIVE 2014/61/EU

Thanks to the internal activities of City Council and to the cadastre we have:

• reusing the existing technological infrastructure

• minimizes cost and implementation time

• allows planning and coordination between multiple actors in the construction of civil works


Now we are the fastest in all senses…



FTTC covers 95% of the city 30 Mbps

FTTH covers 63% of the city 100 Mbps

Infrastructure Realized


We have created a team that controls the civil work and coordinates the various work of the network operators

Civil Works


Relevance ORGANISATION

Creating the Digital Infrastructure Office we were able to take action on the existing organisation and, without increasing employees, but providing only instruments such applications, the cadastre, tablet, smartphone and an organizational analysis, we were able to fulfill a peak of requests that will last for 2 years more. We have obtained three benefits: • Benefits for networks operators • Benefits for citizens • Benefits for the city


Support for the annual programming

- Cadastre is supportive for networks companies to speed up the project planning, develop and maximizing investments – ROI - Cadastre is a support for the City Council in decisions regarding investments, new urbanization, etc ...

Relevance TOOLS


Next Step

We would like to bring our experience at the level of the metropolitan area

CADASTRE as a tool of planning and knowledge
