The Making of Smart Cities

The document discusses strategies for building smart sustainable cities and outlines IEEE's role in assisting with this process. It defines key areas such as information, infrastructure, and human capital that cities should focus on. IEEE works with partners like ITU to fund city projects, provide education and standards, and measure smart city progress. The group held a workshop in Guadalajara to discuss topics like data infrastructure, visualization, and policy. IEEE seeks more partnerships with cities wanting to transition to smart sustainable models.

municipal government data available to everyone,
except those aspects of information subject to privacy.
Special Infrastructure Plan: 325 km. of optical
fiber, mainly used for internal communications both
data and voice by the local police, the fire
department and municipal buildngs, as well as
traffic management.
Free public WiFi service offered through 416 access
points located inside municipal facilities.
Barcelona virtual office: website to sort out
administrative procedures
for citizens and companies.

Some questions:
Are we measuring and evaluating?
If yes what are we measuring?
What metrics are we using?
Do we have a maturity model?
What we know about our technologies?
Do we have standards?
Are we having the highest knowledge level about the options?
Will we interoperate?
Do we have security?
Are we educating?

IEEE Smart Cities


! Some highlights
q

Technology as a tool, not as an end (defined targets)

Standards and aligned systems' plans. Strategy, planning and


evaluation. (management)

E-Government (Open-Smart) & e-Governance

P4:Public, Private & People Partnership (collaboration)

Education (Institutions have to be educated too)

Continuity, even if political changes (evolution)

Citizens' & city needs: target (citizen involvement)
