structure PLEEC and SCP 2.0 Objectives Outlook towards a SC planning model Monitoring
Partnership 18 partners from 13 European countries 6 mid-sized cities: Eskilstuna, Turku, Jyväskylä, Stoke-On-Trent, Tartu, Santiago de Compostela 9 universities 3 industry partners Duration April 2013 until March 2016
PLEEC approach PLEEC project uses integrative approach Coordinating strategies Combining best practices Sharing energy efficiency recommendations Aim: To develop a general model for energy efficiency and sustainable city planning
Work Packages
Specific objectives Please, have a look at posters of 6 partner cities To assess the energysaving solutions and potentials for a comprehensive city planning To demonstrate how integrative planning is more efficient than separate measures To create Action Plans to be presented to decision-makers in the cities To develop a synergized model for energy efficiency planning considering city key aspects and monitoring To identify the future research agenda on the issue of energy-smart cities
Smart City PROFILEs 2.0 Funded by KLIEN & STädtebund In cooperation with Smart Cities in Austria January September 2015 Lead partner: SRF/TU Wien Based on Smart City Profiles 1.0 Lead partner: Umweltbundesamt
Smart City Profiles 2.0 Indikatoren, Profile, Monitoring Please, have a look at posters of Smart City Profiles 2.0 Ziele Ermöglichen / Aktivieren der (österreichischen) Städte zur eigenständigen Erstellung von (individuellen) Stadtprofilen Entwicklung eines Tools als notwendige Infrastruktur (inhaltlicher und organisatorischer Rahmen) für den Aufbau der jeweils eigenen Stadtprofile weitere österreichische Städte sollen in die Lage versetzt werden individuelle Stadtprofile selbständig zu erstellen Geeigneter Ansatz zur Implementation auf EU-Ebene
Smart City Profiles 2.0 Anwendung Frühes Erkennen von aktuellen Trends in einzelnen Bereichen der Stadtentwicklung Unterstützung bei der Entwicklung von Maßnahmen und Projekten Grundlage für die Strategieentwicklung im Bereich Stadtplanung Ausgangsbasis für Monitoring
Outlook: SC understanding.defines Smart City initiatives as multi-stakeholder municipally based partnerships aimed at addressing problems of common interest with the aid of ICTs, which underpin Smart classification. Smart City initiatives address problems of common interest with the aid of ICTs. To be classified as a Smart City a city addresses one or more of the following characteristics: Smart Governance, Smart People, Smart Living, Smart Mobility, Smart Economy and Smart Environment.

Many Thanks for Your Attention rudolf.giffinger@tuwien.ac.at www.srf.tuwien.ac.at
Conclusion 1 SC strategies on the way, but Strategy finding process becomes more complex and effective. But is it endangered to become in-transparent? Today concepts are effective local problem solving or dominated by technical-economic interests?
