At the StampedeCon 2013 Big Data conference in St. Louis, Paul Doherty, President and CEO of the digit group, inc., discussed From Smart Buildings to Smart Cities: An Industry in the Midst of Big Data. As our world emerges as large, urban environments, built environment and IT professionals are challenged with integrating a building’s Digital DNA into the urban fabric of Smart City initiatives. This creates opportunities for Cloud­-based and mobile analysis and management that can lead to better design, performance, service and sustainability. The knowledge behind the urban intelligence of Big Data latently resides with today’s built environment and IT professional. Join us for a discussion that will define Smart Cities, identify Smart Buildings and provide you with best practices, lessons learned and a framework strategy for your organization to profit from the Smart Cities movement.

Each city has its own
Cardiovascular system (traffic, mass transit) ::
Skeletal system (infrastructure) ::
Respiratory system (energy) ::
Digestive system (waste) ::
Primitive Nervous system (telecom) ::
In order for a city to provide access to its
intelligence behind the knowledge and become
a Smart City, the development of the
Intelligence System that connects the central
nervous system to a brain is required
the city as a human body! Smart Cities!

The building blocks to effectively and efficiently use city data will
ultimately reside in a city’s ability to repurpose its existing data
and documents associated with the Built Environment
Existing Municipal Built Environment data:
Building Departments, Engineering Departments, Land Departments,
Planning Departments, Tax Departments, Postal Services, they all
collect and manage vast amounts of data that when viewed as a
whole, create the virtual representation of your physical city

by how well its inhabitant’s quality of life
improves. It is our generation’s greatest
challenge and the best legacy we can leave to
our children…
