What is a Smart City?p How a city performs depends not only on the city's
physical infrastructure but also on the availability and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure.
p The Smart City" concept - an attempt to bring together modern urban production factors in a common framework and to emphasize the growing importance of ICTs, social and environmental capital in assessing the competitiveness of cities.
p Previously used terms –digital cities, intelligent cities.

The Smart City conceptp top-down approach p Two different perspectives:
■ US – technology-centric (IBM, Cisco, Siemens) ■ Europe & Asia –led by governments and motivated
by an ambition to build green, sustainable cities p Big Data – generating data at every step p Who uses it? Who has access to it?

Definitionp A smart city is an urban area that uses different
types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently. This includes data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analyzed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services. (McLaren&Agyeman, 2015)

Smart City Critiquep Adam Greenfield sees a "deep conceptual problem with the
smart city at virtually every level." ( Greenfield, 2013) p the vision and ideology of "smart city" is mainly promoted
by large technology vendors like Cisco, IBM, Siemens, Hitachi, and Microsoft, among others.
p a fairly major discourse in urbanism is authored by private enterprises

How can we make a city smart?p Reliable telecommunications infrastructure p Sensors and actuators to measure and
control: ■ Traffic, roads infrastructure ■ mobility, public transport ■ water, gas, energy flows
p Collecting data from citizens p Involving citizens in co-design and co-
creation
![Page 8: Dr. Gabriela Avramanu.brighid.idc.ul.ie/CS4031_2018/Slides/18SmartCities.pdf · The Smart City concept! top-down approach Two different perspectives: US – technology-centric (IBM,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050204/5f57e1451c069a1dfd4e2860/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is important here:A smart city (also community, business cluster, urban agglomeration or region) uses IT to: p Make more efficient use of physical infrastructure (roads,
built environment and other physical assets) through artificial intelligence and data analytics
p Engage effectively with local people in local governance and decision by use of open innovation processes; emphasis placed on citizen participation and co-design.
p Learn, adapt and innovate and thereby respond more effectively and promptly to changing circumstances

Civic technologiesp Civic technology is technology (mainly
information technology) that enables engagement or participation of the public for stronger development, enhancing citizen communications, improving government infrastructure, and generally improving the public good.

Ushahidip Ushahidi means “testimony” in Swahili p It was developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the
post-election violence in 2008 p crowdsourcing for social activism and public accountability p "activist mapping"—the combination of social activism, citizen
journalism and geospatial information. p Ushahidi enables local observers to submit reports using their
mobile phones or the internet, while simultaneously creating a temporal and geospatial archive of events.
p The platform is often used for crisis response, human rights
reporting, and election monitoring.

Open Datap “Open data is a practice requiring that certain data are freely
available to everyone, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.
p The government is opening up its data for other people to reuse. This is only about non-personal, non-sensitive data information like the list of schools, crime rates or the performance of your council.
p Open data gives us a window into how our government operates so we can enhance its services, help build on its analysis and, when necessary, hold it to account. Data also powers our economy, better information and data can mean more efficient services, higher productivity, and more informed choices. “

Crowdsourcingp a specific sourcing model in
which individuals or organizations use contributions from Internet users to obtain needed services or ideas.
p 2005 - crowd + outsourcing. p Crowdsourcing vs.outsourcing p work can come from an
undefined public; it includes a mix of bottom-up and top-down processes.
Examples: p Linux p Wikipedia p Amazon Mechanical Turk p Patients like me p OpenStreetmap p Wikipedia

Conclusionsp The so-called “smart cities” provide an
advanced technical infrastructure; p However, citizens buy-in and involvement is
paramount; p Civic technologies (or citizen tech) are
providing a platform for local authorities and citizens to collaborate.
