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

POLIS CHRISOCHOUS – DECISION ANNOUNCEMENT “SMART ECO POLIS” GLOBAL INITIATIVE

Committed to the EU Smart Cities and Communities Initiative to improve the quality of life and communal well-being, the Council of POLIS is

determined to transform the POLIS Region as a European (Mediterranean) model of regional sustainability, as an innovative corridor of seaside

smart town resort and eco communities; carbon neutral or zero-carbon and zero-waste region with integrated “green” and “blue” economies.

We are working on the SMART ECO POLIS Strategy and Implementation Plan where our town and local communities are envisioned as smart and

green, livable and creative, vibrant and attractive, climate-resilient places of the future and unique destination of excellence.

The Polis Region is to be run by a distributed intelligent management platform for future-proof infrastructure, smart mobility and transportation,

efficient utilities, clean energy networks, smart power and communication grids, public facilities, intelligent street lighting, intelligent building

systems, etc.

In order for the urban wealth and communal benefits to be pursued, the Urban Areas and Rural Communities shall have ecologically healthy

living, safety and well-being, integrated sustainable town and communal planning and land use, connected residential areas, green living, clean

environment, eco-friendly roads, car-free zones, smart streets, clean transportation, energy and advanced utilities, urban agriculture, home

ecology, green buildings, renewable energy networks, rainwater catchment systems, solar desalination plants, biomass refineries, solar gardens,

environmental quality, low utility bills, lease or sales premiums, increased property values, high property developments, coastal and maritime

eco-tourism, quality jobs, solar eco communities and smart eco town, global branding and highly competitive marketability.

The SMART ECO POLIS Initiative shell be performed by the Public-Private-Civil Society Partnership, led by the Advisory Council, chaired by Mayor

and assisted by the city councilors and local community presidents, and run by the program management, leading strategists and members of

the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities.

The SMART ECO POLIS Advisory Council invites future-looking businesses and national ministries, utilities and NGOs, banking institutions and

investment funds, developers and investors, academia and research organizations, citizens and civic associations, to adjoin the exciting journey

of building intelligent eco communities and cities, as the keys to a sustainable recovery and smart growth of Cyprus and Europe.

Stimulated by the EU 2014-2020 schemes for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, the creation of smart cities and sustainable communities

is a future-building process where all sides shall continually learn from each other, discover new opportunities, develop relationships, proactively

responding to evolving challenges, threats, opportunities and priorities.

Being in line with the EU Strategy 2020, the Eco Polis Investment Program is to utilize the EIB’s Framework Loan, EU Multiannual Financial

Framework 2014-2020, 7-Years Planning, Strategies, Policies and Regulations, Funds, Programs and Projects, all innovative funding

opportunities, schemes, and initiatives, as well as local government incentives for smart urban growth and sustainable redevelopment. Financing

could follow the Public-Private-Citizen Partnership business models, and be shared by the private firms, investors and municipal government.

European Commission: Lighthouse Smart Community Projects (Horizon 2020)

Smart and Green Polis will be presented as an active member of the EU Lighthouse Projects, inviting institutions, public

bodies, industries, city networks, and academia to proactively contribute to the cause.

To deploy smart city solutions across urban mobility; districts and built environment; and integrated infrastructures, the

concept of Smart City ”Lighthouse Initiatives” is to be implemented, requesting collaboration between the European

Commission, Member States and Industry, as well as cities and research institutions.

Over the next 7 years, a portfolio of at least 20 - 25 lighthouse projects is to be created: each with 6-10 cities (and partners),

with the potential for Europe-wide roll out – dependent on levels of commitment, and access to / creation of funds.

Sustainable Urban Development Platform (ESIF):

In the new EU budget 2014-2020, at least 5% of the European Regional Development Fund will have to be used for sustainable

urban development. Based on a list of cities prepared by Member States in their Partnership Contract, the Commission will

establish an Urban Development Platform comprising 300 cities throughout Europe, which will stimulate a more policy-oriented

dialogue on urban development between the cities at European level and the Commission

SMART CITIES OF THE FUTURE: EIP STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The Intelligent Community and Smart City Strategic

Development Planning is to include the Strategic

Implementation Plan of the EIP on Smart Cities and

Communities:

Sustainable Urban Mobility – Alternative energies,

public transport, efficient logistics, planning;

Sustainable Districts and Built Environment –

improving the energy efficiency of buildings and districts,

increasing the share of renewable energy sources used

and the liveability of our communities;

Integrated Infrastructures and processes across

Energy, ICT and Transport – connecting infrastructure

assets to improve the efficiency and sustainability of

cities

The Plan puts forward eight key horizontal enablers on

the themes of Decisions, Insight, and Financing.

Eleven inter-dependent priority areas are considered to

be the most important concerning Smart Cities and

Communities, and the intersection with the areas of

energy, transport and ICT, as in the diagram, Priority

Areas.

Each priority area is to be specified against: context and

challenges; drivers and goals; and actions to perform.
