Insights & Governance Funding & Finance Information & Decisions • Citizen focus participative citizen involvement from planning stage, empowerment through information… • Integrated planning & management realising systemic, holistic views in organisations, strong political leadership…. • Knowledge Sharing targeted networking , marketplaces for maximum outreach…. • Procurement joining forces for greater purchasing power, … • Financing & Business Models cross-sectorial business models, aligned with public revenue streams, pay-per-use, … • Open Data repositories with standardised data formats, apps-development , increased predictive power, privacy by design,… • Standards de-risking invests , interoperability , reducing entry barriers, …. • Baselines, Performance Indicators & Metrics measuring progress, and impact , identifying best-of-breed solutions….
Anything Different? • integrated approach and focus • Energy, Transport and ICT • open solutions – avoidvendorlock-in!! • ICT both as enablerandconsumer • evidence-base - measure / quantify impacts
Innovation process and financing Horizontal Actions to inform the SCCfeed into research programmes and address market barriers Initial demonstrations of SCC concepts in city environments Large-scale demonstrations of SCC concepts in city environments R&D and validations of vital SCC components Commercial roll-out in city environments The Innovation Process Technical assistance, structural funds, risk-sharing facilities etc. R&D funding, e.g. FP7 & Horizon 2020
Lighthouse projects Low energy districts Integrated infrastructures Sustainable urban mobility Conditions Consortia: industry & cities 2-3 cities involving2-3 follower cities Part of ambitious urban plan Funding from other parts secured Affordable solutions Interoperability – no lock-in!

Conclusions and Recommendations • Still open: • What are smart cities – are there any? • Question the notion of smart for smart's sake • Scale-up - who pays? • Who benefits – can citizens have a say? • Shouldn't cities ask more questions? • look at worst practices too • far more attention to (common ways of) measuring impacts (L.1440..!) • and understanding how real, expected benefits can accrue!
