Take a look to see how the Internet of Things is critical to future city-planning processes. In fact, day by day, cities are facing a variety of challenges such as: job creation, economic growth, environmental sustainability and social resilience.

1. IoT for Smart Cities

2. Today’s cities face a variety of challenges, including job creation,
economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social
resilience. Internet is critical to future city-planning processes.

3. Global Scenario

4. 4
Smart Cities will host 1.1 billion connected things worldwide this year,
doubling to 2.6 billion by 2017 (Gartner)
Connected homes will see the greatest growth with >1 billion connections in
2017, followed by commercial buildings/ transport / utilities (Gartner)
Local government investment in IoT initiatives will represent more than 25%
of all government external spending in the area (GovTech)
25% of mid-size cities should have “whole-of-city” data and analytic
strategies rolled out in the next three years (IDC)

5. Italian Scenario

6. In the last 3 years, 50% of Italian districts with more than 40 thousands
citizens, have started at least one Smart City project *
Directives and regulations are a driving force behind smart metering gas
(Required to be served at the 60% of delivery points by the end of 2018) *
More than 200 cities have just implemented smart lighting systems,
representing 18% of the total Smart City value *
-4,2 billion €/y is the nationwide saving thanks to smart street lighting,
smart waste collection and traffic management (achievable value) *

8. The Internet of Things is more than a future vision; it’s
already making our cities and buildings smarter today and
shaping the urban environment.

9. Waste collection
Barcelona
Cans equipped with sensors that track the amount of garbage/smell, alerting
where pick-ups are needed most and suggesting optimized collection routes

10. Parking
San Francisco
Sensor-enabled on-street smart parking spaces for real time assistance, special
assistance for disabled people, lower time to park and lower emissions

11. Grid
Chattanooga
Self-healing smart grid: time to restore power pushed down to 2 secs from 17
hours, when tornadoes knocked out power

12. Transportation
Helsinki
Connected devices and sensors capture traffic data, driver performance and gas
usage to suggest more careful driving & improved maintenance for fuel saving

13. Lighting
Intelligent and weather adaptive lighting in street lights. Incorporating connected
controls to the Internet for additional savings , besides switch to LED
Amsterdam, Westergasfabriek area

14. Building
Barhein
An hotel system that can automatically sense the presence of people in a room
and control blinds, lighting and air conditioning, at the highest level of efficiency

15. Tourism
Florence
Framework for customizing cultural itineraries and displaying them on a mobile
app according to personal interests, location or availability during the day

16. Tourism 2
London Heathrow
Airport toilets anonymously count how many people have used them and
send alerts to cleaners after a certain number is reached

17. Security
17
Spain
Millions of security devices in customers’ homes and businesses, getting fire or
intruder alerts and checking if alarms and batteries are working

18. At a time when city finances are under enormous pressure,
IoT technologies provide a great opportunity to improve
services and reduce costs – by doing things differently.

19. Big savings
Saving that Italy could realize, in case of pervasive adoption of
intelligent lighting solutions for mobility management and for
collecting waste.
-4,2 billion €

20. Improved revenues
Average increase in parking revenue for those cities that apply
smart parking techniques (parking can often be the 2°/ 3°
revenue source).
+ 20/30%

21. Lower emissions
Reduction in emissions, equivalent to 1600 cars every year,
achieved by Hampshire County Council after developing a wireless
smart lighting control system.
-4000 tonnes CO2

22. Higher efficiency
Emergency response time since the launch of a new system that
Rio implemented, gathering data from 30 agencies flows into 1
centralized “command center”.
-30%

23. Safer cities
Decrease in crime rate in the Mexico City; 8% reduction in car
thefts; criminal activity down by 35%, after implementing a smart
urban security system.
-80%

24. Making the transmission of data into useful information and
services to address urban challenges is the role of IoT
application platform.

25. National versus Local
Smart city challenges not only arise at national level but they
have the highest chance of making an impact locally.
Traffic flow, parking services, street lighting, water and waste
management offer tremendous opportunities for being
consumed to reflect changing patterns of demand through IoT.

26. Public-Private Partnership
A strong public-private partnership approach is necessary,
beyond silos of existing city infrastructure providers.
Look for example at how the partnership between Philips, Cisco,
a real estate owner to deliver the city for Amsterdam’s lighting
project has unleashed the power of smart cities opportunities.

27. Economies of things
Additional services can be added at minimal cost and
disruption to the existing architecture, if correctly set up.
How for example data captured for one smart service can serve
multiple purposes? How the same data collection infrastructure
can be used for stratified services?

28. Smart platforms for smart cities
Ensuring the delivery of large amounts of data over protected,
secure, and reliable infrastructures is a must for IoT platforms.
Scalability, to grow as cities and number of things grow; easy
integration, with other software and multiple types of hardware;
solidity, to sustain big data flows are the features required.
