Mega Cities (>10 million people)
• UN Report (July 2014)
– 1990: 10 mega-cities, 153M people
– 2014: 28 mega-cities, 453M people (Asia16,
Latin America 4, Africa and Europe 3, North
America 2)
– 2030: 41 mega-cities projected
What is sustainable development?
"Development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their
own needs”.
(The World Commission on Environment and Development’s (the Brundtland
Commission) report Our Common Future (Oxford: Oxford University Press,
1987).
What are the needs of the present; which of
these will be met?
Challenges…
Climate change
Natural disasters
6.25bn living in cities by 2050
Sustainable Development Goals
New idea – Smart City
• To promote the intelligence of city
planning, construction, management and
intelligent service in order to improve the
economic development and quality of life
of its residents
– Integration of information and communication
technologies in a secure way in both the
public and private sectors
Pillars of Smart Cities
• Economic Sustainability – capacity to develop economic potential and attract
business and capital
– closely linked to financial stability (recent financial
crisis new models needed)
– the attractiveness as an investment location (ease of
doing business)
– economic fabric of the city and market for smart
solutions
Pillars of Smart Cities….
• Social Sustainability – guaranteeing access to basic services
– avoiding social exclusion of sections of the population
(social unrest)
– ensuring basic level of services for all:
telecommunications, public transport, water, electricity
affordable and accessible to all groups
– involving all relevant stakeholders from the start
Pillars of Smart Cities….
• Environmental Sustainability
– environmental services and a healthy living
environment
– effects of resource limitations: water, fuel,
– quality of life and health: pollution
– Risk management and resilience to
environmental shocks
Underpinning principles…
• Spatial [big] data – single source of reliable data needed for decision
making (everything happens somewhere only when
you know where everything can connections be
created)
– www.dataforcities.org (analyse your city relative to
others)
• Vertical integration
• Horizontal integration
• To ensure that smart integrated systems are put
in place internationally agreed upon standards
that include technical specifications and promote
interoperability are necessary

International Standards for more
sustainable, efficient and connected cities
Quality of Life
Sustainable development for communities -

• Developed a wide range of standards on
sustainable development in communities
including standards on indicators for smart
cities and smart infrastructures

International Standards..
• Transfer technology and best practices
• Promote innovation and optimal use of resources
• Provide requirements for monitoring technical ad
functional performance
• Ensures technologies used are safe and efficient
