SMART CITIES GLOBAL INITIATIVE
The Smart Cities Global Initiative is concerned about the large variety of narrow technical visions, models and approaches in which 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”.
That is why this initiative is looking for megacities, municipalities, communities or brand new cities that are following a smart community
development strategy aiming to unify all the city systems, services, operations, activities, departments and agencies as a sustainable smart urban
ecosystem. http://eu-smartcities.eu/content/show-world-you-are-smart-city
Its choice legendary Aphrodite’s place in Europe, POLIS CHRISOCHOUS, extending from the national park of Akamas to Pafos forest, along the Med
coastlines, is to meet the major concern of global urbanization: “…there are no examples to date of cities launching fully integrated, strategically
designed Smart City development programs“.
The Smart Eco POLIS Program aims to transform POILS, a legendary place of Aphrodite, as an intelligent green region: environmentally sustainable,
inter-connected, instrumented, innovative, and integrated, regionally and globally attractive for businesses, citizens, visitors and investors.
SMART AND SUSTAINABLE POLIS is to be run by its urban brains, an intelligent city cloud platform, managing its resources, assets, processes and
systems: Urban Land and Environment, Roads and Transportation, Energy networks and Utilities, ICT networks and fiber telecom infrastructure,
Public and residential buildings, Natural Resources, Water and Waste management, Social infrastructure, Health and safety, Education and
culture, Public administration and services, Communities and Businesses.
Launched under the Smart Cities Global Initiative, the Smart Polis Program presented for the “ World Smart Cities Award”, “looking for the most
ambitious Smart City strategies, the most advanced projects and the most innovative solutions around the world which foster the evolution of the
Smart City concept”. http://eu-smartcities.eu/content/looking-innovative-smart-city-initiatives
