ONCE YOU KNOW US SOME THOUGHTS TO BEGIN WITH
consider these ideas The growing density of the city population requires actions that permit sustainable economic and environmental urban growth and which ensure the quality of life for inhabitants. This is the main challenge and the reason why today s cities must become smart cities Innovation and technology are the bedrock of a smart society, which requires people, companies and governments "We find ourselves at a key moment in which the necessary urbanisation of our planet will be completed during our children's lifetime and we only have one opportunity to carry it out correctly" We must always be aware that citizens are something more than clients "the panels and conferences at Smart City have contributed to show that smart cities are much more than technology or energy efficiency. They are also business and governance, creation of new businesses, innovation and jobs; always putting the citizen at the centre of it all in order to improve our quality of life"

inflated expectations or disillusionment? Are Smart Cities the new technology bubble? 11
c mon, it is easy to define a Smart City Rick Robinson (@dr_rick, theurbantechnologist.com) Do we know what we want a Smart City to be?
SO, IT SEEMS FAIR THAT I WONDER ARE SMART CITIES LIKE TEENAGE SEX? EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT IT, NOBODY REALLY KNOWS HOW TO DO IT, EVERYONE THINKS EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT, SO EVERYONE CLAIMS THEY ARE DOING IT... Based on Dan Ariely @ Duke University
THE FACT IS THAT WE STILL HAVE MANY MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
the importance of planning & evaluating Are we investing after strategic planning? Or, at least, are we evaluating results after investment?
what matters! RANKING SMART CITIES IN CHILE Are we focusing on things that matter? (Remember, things that make cities better )
standards! Are we defining or applying any domain standard? Are we trying to cooperate and build networks rather than stand-alone projects?
public vs? private UBER COVERAGE VS TRANSMILENIO (BOGOTÁ) How are we considering private innovation efforts? And city operators (utilities, telcos, transportation, infrastructures )?
choosing the right references Brazilian mid-sized cities have to look at themselves in European cities? Are we forgetting something important? Or including something superfluous?
considering all the Key Factors What about privacy, safety, vulnerability, resiliency?
all within an exponential ICT evolution How to face increasingly fast technological transformation?
last but not least, who pays for it? How we found sustainable economic models for Smart Cities?
SO WHAT?
we have too many questions to answer Do we know what we want a Smart City to be? Are we investing after strategic planning? Or, at least, are we evaluating results after investment?

How we found sustainable economic models for Smart Cities?
so we have to think SMART (i) S FROM STRATEGY What does your city want to be? Define a City Plan and, only then define your Smart City plan subject to it Consider all private and public agents, all possible stakeholders
so we have to think SMART (ii) M FROM MEASURE Measure Measure Measure Measure Measure..and evaluate (Remember to measure impact on what is important for your city) Example, as defined by ITU
so we have to think SMART (iii) A FROM ALLIANCES (or not Alone) Integrate, foster city networks You won t solve your problems on your own Though your city is unique, you share problems and challenges with other cities Why not regional, country or continental common strategies? Contribute, implement, adopt domain standards Look for synergies and sustainability, both technical and economical Private companies can (must) be allies too Those who drive ICT innovation (let them guide us through the wave) Those who operate key services for the City
so we have to think SMART (iv) R FROM GOVERNANCE MODEL Be Transversal Break Silos Define a Smart City governance model Draw and manage an Smart City Stakeholder Map (did I mention you cannot forget private companies?) FROM BARCELONA
so we have to think SMART (v) T FROM SUSTAINABILITY Both economical and technological sustainability, which serve as a good summary of previous points Develop smart policies aligned to your city needs and priorities -> money will happen to appear Use standards and join networks -> Share investments, knowledge, experiences, standards Consider strong partnerships with private stakeholders, both innovative ICT companies and city services operators Break silos, act holisticaly, focus on what is important for your city and your citizens
SO WHAT?
