Each city is unique …

… but there are common challenges!

Why Smart Cities Matter for Europe?

By 2050, 2 out of every 3 people on Earth will live in Cities

380 Cities account for 50% of Global GDP

Pollution in Cities accelerates ageing by 10%

Cities raise stress levels by more than 40%

Open (public) data: Why does it matter for Europe?

1. Untapped business and economic opportunities:data is the new gold; possible direct and indirect gains of€140bln across the EU28; Dutch geo-sector in 2008:15.000 jobs

2. Better governance and citizen empowerment:open data increases transparency, citizen participation andadministrative efficiency and accountability

3. Addressing societal challenges: data can enhancesustainability of health care systems; essential for tacklingenvironmental challenges

4. Accelerating scientific progress: e-science essentialfor meeting the challenges of the 21st century in scientificdiscovery and learning.

Re-use of open government data

Publicly funded data must be available for all

What data are we talking about?

Statistics, environmental and geographical data, meteorological data, business information, legal information

Combination of different types of data (e.g. geo, traffic and tourism)

EU-wide applications and services

Capitalise on the size of the internal market

Systems that facilitate decision making by companies

Open data strategy

- Communication on Open Data (COM(2011)882)

- A revision of the Decision governing the re-use of Commission's own information (2011/833/EU)

- Revision of the Directive on the re-use of public sector information (2013/37/EU)

- Commission Notice: guidelines on PSI re-use (2014/C 240/01)

- EU Open data-portals

Guidelines on PSI re-use – 17.07.2014

• Focus on three topics: licensing, datasets and charging

• Adoption by the College as Commission Communication in form of a Notice

• Non-binding document

• Gives guidance and best practice examples

• Useful for the Member States during the transposition phase and afterwards

Towards a pan-European infrastructure for (open) data

Rationale

• One single gateway to reusable information with the aim of enabling combination of information held by various open data portals at various levels throughout the EU

• Services around open data

• Dedicated service infrastructure for language resources in order facilitate multi-lingual access to online services

Innovation Actions – Scope: To identify, develop and deploy replicable, balanced and

integrated solutions in the energy, transport, and ICT actions through partnerships

between municipalities and industries.

These will be the lighthouse projects as identified by the Communication on Smart

Cities and Communities. Lighthouse projects will target primarily large scale

demonstration of replicable SCC concepts in city context where existing

technologies or very near to market technologies will be integrated in an innovative

way.

The proposals should address the following main areas:

• (Nearly zero) or low energy districts

• Integrated Infrastructures

• Sustainable urban mobility

SCC-01-2015 - Smart Cities and Communities solutions integrating energy, transport, ICT sectors through lighthouse (large scale demonstration - first of the kind) projects

Coordination and Support Actions

Scope: Today the standards are developed for specific components or areas such

as smart meters, smart grids, ICT etc. With the development of integrated solutions

of Smart Cities and Communities a system approach is needed.

It is expected that this work is carried out by the industries cities and communities

contributing to the Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership

in cooperation with the European Standardisation Organisations (CEN, CENELEC,

ETSI) as well as other Standard Developing Organisations (SDOs) responsible for

technical specifications in the area of Smart Cities. Social acceptance of developed

solutions might be considered.
