Our basic assumption is that Cities will, with all probability, provide an Urban Platform on which most City Applications and Services will run. This platform will be the main backbone for many existing sector systems (like Energy Efficient Buildings, Smart Grid, Intelligent Transport Systems, eHealth Systems) and many new applications and systems specifically designed for the City.

75%Without UP

1. Poor knowledge of the landscape / lack of confidence in cities

2. Cities struggle to get the silos to work together, so prohibiting action

3. Cities suffer budget constraints

Industry Initiative facilitated by the European Commission Big, small and diverse industry organisations Workshop in Brussels on 27 April Signed at the General Assembly of the EIP on SCC in Berlin

on May 21st in the presence of commissioner Oettinger Fully committed to work openly with cities Ambitious goals:

By 2018, create a strong EU city market for Urban Platforms

By 2025 300m residents of EU cities use Urban Platform Roadmap 2 Stakeholder Reference Groups – Consumer and Industry

Memorandum of Understanding

Develop a set of principles and a joint reference

architecture framework

Develop a joint data and service ontology

Accelerate the adoption by standardisation bodies

Standards/reference framework compliant Smart Cities

commercial products and solutions

Develop with cities tailored operational frameworks (both

for installation and servicing phases)

Memorandum of Understanding - Goals

Interoperability, Replicability, Scalability, Open common interface

(APIs) and corresponding tools (SDK), Set of functional capabilities

and corresponding technical modules based on city needs and use

Major European cities experience

Based on visits to London, Barcelona and Berlin Citizen in the centre – technology follows Full blown dedicated ICT departments Urban Platforms and ontologies Open interfaces (and often open source) Export model Dynamics municipality-greater city area-regional-

national Smart parking

London London 2050 infrastructure plan Platforms - Datastore (since 2010), Transport for London

city mobility platform since 2007-2008Open standards (CKAN – open-source)Open data - Anybody can access the data and create an app –

2 days to create 2 appsExample apps – where to live in London, multimodal transport

Greater London Authority – strategic coordination 33 boroughs

BACK-UP SLIDES

SCC3• Reason - avoid entry barriers and/or vendor lock-in• The focus of this standardisation exercise is to

identify, and in case of need develop, a subset of open standards that are considered to be essential for any City Platform, so that:• A) the vertical interoperability requirements

towards (i) sectorial systems and (ii) city applications and services with the platform are well defined

• B) the adaptation of city applications and services from city platform to city platform is minimised
