The Smart City Bottom-Up vision

31/03/2014 5

“The bias lurking behind every large-scale smart

city is a belief that bottom-up complexity can be

bottled and put to use for top-down ends — that a

central agency, with the right computer program,

could one day manage and even dictate the

complex needs of an actual city.

The smartest cities are the ones that embrace

openness, randomness and serendipity —

everything that makes a city great”

– Greg Lindsay, 2011

Smart City Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor network

with advanced monitoring applications

Data collected trough sensors

E.g. parking spaces, garbage bin status

Applications developed to convert the sensor data

into usable end-user information

E.g. personal parking assistant for disabled people, smart

bins sending an alert when they are full

Wi-Fi network supporting real-time applications

for mobile users

E.g. uninterrupted VoIP calls while hopping between
