More and more cities in the world want to become a SMART city. But what is actually a smart city? How do I transform a city in a smart city? And what is the relationship between the smart city concept and other concepts like Internet of Things and Big Data? Erik van der Zee tries to answer these questions during this session. He also pays attention to the Geonovum pilot Making Sense for Society. This pilot started on 3rd April 2014 and comprises subjects like sensors, actuators, standards, real-time data, privacy, governance and applications related to smart cities.
Presentation at the Government and ICT fair on 9th April 2014.

Smart Cities
What is a Smart City?
How do I make a City Smart? – Ingrediënts!
Examples of Smartness

Questions
What is it about today?
5. Dumb
=
“showing a lack of intelligence”
Or
“not having the capability to
process data”
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

8. “A city that makes extensive use of information and
communications technologies, including mobile networks,
to improve the quality of life of its citizens in a
sustainable way. A Smart City combines and shares
disparate data sets captured by intelligently-
connected infrastructure, people and things, to
generate new insights and provide ubiquitous services
that enable citizens to move around easily, improve the
efficiency of city operations, enhance security, fuel
economic activity and increase resilience to natural
disasters” (GSMA, 2013)”

12. Measuring is Knowing…
“Quantified City” Sensors (BIG) Data
Transparancy (“open unless” policy)
Linked Open Data gives maximum possibilities for
development of Smart Cities (combining data sets)
No transparancy can lead to initiatives where citizens start to
monitor on their own (Geluidsnet, Fukushima)
Smart Cities create BIG Data Smart use of BIG Data
Ingrediënt 3. Open Data

Back End applications (CEP engines, ESBs)
Ingrediënt 4. Apps!

15. Multi disciplinairy teams with smart
thinkers, builders, makers, tinkerers,
developers, database experts,
designers and other specialists that
can realize smartness
Smart users (using the smartness)
Learn people how to use new
technology
Create awareness on what is available
Provide hardware at low cost for Citizen
Science (e.g. iSPEX, Smart Citizen Kit,
Air Quality Egg)
Ingrediënt 5. Smart People
Dumb Cities > Smart Cities > Sensor Pilot Geonovum > Questions
