Models

3. The Opportunity
• Rapidly improving technological capability at lower cost
–New sensor-enabled data sources
–Integration, storage and processing of large datasets
–New technologies in new areas
• Strained urban infrastructure
• Potential for U.S. leadership in key IoT applications
• Rise of the civic tech movement
• Leverage existing Federal activity

4. Open Questions to Inform our Efforts

5. What are opportunities for deeper Federal
involvement?
Currently:
• R&D: Nearly $140B in annual Federal research and
development spending includes targeted spending on big
data, cyber physical systems, smart grid, and more.
• Deployment: Federal grants support deployment of (smart)
infrastructure, from disaster preparedness to water and
transportation
• Convening/Capacity Building: Potential to support cities in
their efforts to develop smart applications (e.g. GCTC).

7. Areas for Feedback
• What are some realistic, self-evidently important goals for
this effort?
–E.g., reduce traffic in X major cities by 15% by 2018.
• What are sustainable models that can readily be replicated
as important “early wins”?
• What models of industry, university and philanthropic
engagement are most promising for cities?
• How do we move to a world of integrated approaches across
domain areas?
