1 Essential ingredients for delivering the Smart City Jamie Smart City Program Manager Dublin City Council

2 Dublin, Ireland Dublin is the administrative and political capital of Ireland Home to an estimated 1.27m people (28% of Ireland s population) Ireland s population is 4.6 million Dublin City Council

4 Smart City Drivers: Rapid Pace of technology innovation Processing power increasing, costs decreasing Low cost sensing opportunities High Levels of Smartphone penetration Lower cost communications options Flexible and low cost storage options (cloud) Growth of wearable technologies

5 The opportunity of Internet of things / big data... Smart City Market to be worth $400 billion by 2020 IoT devices installed in cities to increase by more than 5 billion in the next four years $421 billion in economic value through IOT alone for cities worldwide in 2019 (efficiency gains and cost reductions) BIG DATA

6 Why we need our cities to be smart

7 Open, Connected, Engaged

8 Key principals of a Smart City Open, Connected, Engaged a city that is not only open to technology innovation and open access to its public data, but also open to new ways of working and new collaborations

9 Tap into your local ecosystem Success will be built on collaboration Tapping into an amazing Dublin ecosystem Opening up the opportunities to co-innovate and partner

10 Reach out internationally: Building better cities together Learn from best practice Cities setting the agenda with others Standards, interoperability, openness

11 Open your data fuelling the smart city Dublinked OPEN DATA Supporting data-driven innovation in the Dublin Region

12

13 Engage extensively to Identify your priority challenges

14 Example Priority Challenge Areas Climate Change, Sustainability, Citizen Engagement,

15 Environmental Challenges Air Quality Noise Waste/Litter Real time monitoring to facilitate improved responses Deployment of low cost sensor networks Prioritisation of interventions Modification of behaviours Proactive citizen engagement

16 Extreme Weather Events & Flooding Key Issues: Tidal Flooding: 7/20 of the highest tides on record in Dublin have occurred in River and Pluvial Flooding.

17 Energy Reduce costs Cut carbon emissions Tackle fuel poverty Increase efficiencies

18 Energy Efficiencies: Street Lighting

19 Rethinking street lighting and future services Source: intellistreets

20 Urban Transport / Mobility

21 Example Collaborations Smart Dublin: IBM Transportation Dublin city adopts smart approach on road to economic recovery (June 2013) Working with IBM research has allowed us to take a fresh look at our transport strategy. Thanks to the continuing work of the IBM team, we can see how our transport network is working as a whole and develop innovative ways to improve it for Dublin s citizens Brendan O Brien Head of technical services Roads and Traffic Department.

22 Engage with entrepreneurs and small businesses

23 Support Local Entrepreneurs - Sound Monitoring -Noise monitoring network of over 40 sensors across the Dublin Region -DCC collaborated with a university spin out to prototype equipment (Sonitus) - Sonitus Systems are now selling to cities across the word -Great example of the city supporting local innovation

24 Example Collaborations: INTEL -experimental IOT platforms Unexpected Capital for the Internet #Dublin leapfrogging the competition in race to be top #smartcity on.natgeo.com/1xoxmd4 (October 2014)

25 Experimental Flood Monitoring IOT platform Current flood mgmt set up is across multiple systems Rainfall Gauges Weather Stations Tidal information Water Telemetry Experimenting with low cost sensing Require one view in real time with a UX that enables better decision making

26 Expectations of enhanced service delivery/ less resources Real opportunity to rethink how we manage cities. The city as a service...adopting the latest technologies

27 How do we connect disparate systems Ensuring interoperability - Open API s Open Data Security of these systems essential

28 Experiment with hyper local and low cost sensing Producing dynamic and real time data Turning data into intelligence

29 Better city systems - predict, adapt and respond All these data streams are no good, unless you can respond effectively, Helping citizens make better decisions Respecting Data Privacy

30 Enabling the smart city is a big challenge. Access to infrastructure? Street assets traffic lights street lights real time bus signs City buildings / assets City fiber / ducting Connectivity Plan? What s your city s plan? 5G Mesh networks What s your connectivity plan for your city? Are you ready for the urban IOT revolution? Licensed meets unlicensed spectrum

31 New business models & new ways of working (across siloes) "And however worthy it is, an initiative that benefits many departments but is to be paid for by only one will often fall by the wayside", Léan Doody, Arup. Complexity of IOT multiple providers across the value chain Connectivity Security Data storage System integration Device hardware How to finance these new solutions Managing the risk (technology) PPP s Revenue Shares Application development

32 Open calls for pilots, demonstrators Small Cell Technology Access to expertise Access to City Infrastructure Other benefits in kind

33 Be open to experimentation: e.g. Low Cost River Sensing

34 Rethink how we procure engage the market Open Challenges are a way for the public sector to engage with entrepreneurs, business, technologists and service users to come up with new solutions to the urban challenges currently faced by the Dublin Region.

35 Communicate your challenges openly Showcase your success stories

36 Open, Connected, Engaged
