EIS Smart Cities Global Initiative
The 21st
Century of Cities
The future of our world is decided by the quality of its future cities. Globally, there are about 700
cities, each with population exceeding 500,000, whereas the top 25 cities of the world today
account for half of the world’s wealth. The infrastructure investment for the cities is forecast to
be $30 trillion to $40 trillion, cumulatively, over the next 20 years. It’s projected that over 40
global cities will come as Smart Cities by the year 2020.
On the top, the United Nations expects almost doubling of urban population by 2050, while the
global population will increase from 7 billion to 9 billion.
Global Smart Municipalities Commitment Application
The EIS Smart Cities “X” Global Initiative is designed for “X” megacities, municipalities or
communities, from Adelaide to London to Moscow to Peking to Washington, or brand new cities,
all who are after a unified smart community development strategy and holistic sustainable
planning. EIS will provide intelligent property investment to selected urban entities through
strategic advice, as well as sustainable city exclusive education and training from a Consortium
of EIS partners.
Successful applications are to provide evidence that the municipality or community is well-
positioned to utilize the intelligent resources offered through the EIS Smart Cities Initiative, that
its transformation to a smart city has a strong leadership and that the city has strong intentions
to invest intelligent and financial capital into smart and sustainable urban development
A City’s Universities will be assisted to lay out Masters and PhD programs and courses in smart
cities, online and offline.
In addition, a City’s developers will be assisted with modeling and planning the economy-sized
sustainable property development projects.
Motivation
EIS’ Initiative is meeting an increasing concern of large variety of narrow technical visions,
models and approaches, when on many occasions, “the push towards smart cities is being led
by the wrong people – technology companies with naïve visions and short term commercial
goals; while the architects, planners and scientists… often struggle to share their specific
knowledge”.
Basic requirements:
initial funds for the smart city comprehensive planning and urban
intelligence governance cloud platform.
authorities understand the criticality of the overall growth strategy, integrated planning
and intelligent design of the smart city projects.
2. EIS Smart Cities Global Initiative 2014 Encyclopedic Intelligent Systems & Consortium
scale up and replicate both strategic knowledge and
model projects at the national and international levels.
Smart City Advisory Council is to be established to take responsibility and support of
the strategic growth plan of the city.
or research institutions and industry are to be
committed in the smart cities R & D & I.
Municipalities selected for the EIS Smart Cities Initiative will be required for citizen engagement
and involvement and knowledge sharing to help all the project stakeholders make optimal
contributions.
