Why smart cities?

The idea is not to tackle
each challenge in an
independent way, but to
take advantage of the
multiplier
effect
that
citywide
holistic
view
solutions can bring to the
table.
Smart City initiatives rely
on
cross-department
connections and scale to
realize their full potential1.

Smart Cities and the IoT
Challenges
• Privacy and security.
• Reducing the digital divide.
• Break the fragmentation of
Smart City solutions.
• Standardization of devices
and solutions.
• E-waste management.
Opportunities
• Create public value from
the Internet of things.
• To have an ever increasing
amount of information for
better decision making.
• To create an open smart
city
platform
for
governance.
• To generate innovative
services for citizens.
Think about the digital divide
Bogotá
Pácora, Caldas
Vs.
Population: 7,8 million people
Area: 1.587 km2 (urban)
Population: 11.952 people
Area: 265 km2 (urban)
Usually, Smart City initiatives are focused on medium and large cities, that most of the
time have better infrastructure than small cities. IoT and Smart cities can accentuate
the digital divide between territories, hence increasing inequality in terms of access to
technology (for the population).
Smart Cities give meaning to the IoT
Smart Governance
Smart Cities
Citizens
Internet of Things
Public value creation
Internet of Things (IoT) is a key enabler to make cities become “smarter”, “more
sustainable” and livable, but instead Smart Cities’ initiatives are called to provide
meaning and make use of IoT technology.
“The concept of the Smart City makes the internet of things actionable and specially
important for all of us”.

Measuring the “smartness” of a city
Differences between cities must be taken into
account when measuring their “smartness”.
A segmentation and gap closing approach is being
analyzed in the Colombian case

VERY PRELIMINARY
Measuring the “smartness” of a city
Urban
Education: illiteracy, education quality, attendance, e-learning, % of population in education
institutions, higher education
Salud: life expectancy, use of electronic records , on line health, mortality rate of children <5,
health level, provision of health services
Environmental
Water: water consuption/cápita, water coverage, water use efficiency, % of cities with
drinkable water
Air: air quality
Energy: energy consumption/cápita, coverage, efficiency, alternate energy
Climate change: measurement systems of GHG emissions , GHG emissions, mitigation
plans
Others: noise control, adaptive capacity to climate change, natural disaster plans
Gob/admin/ec
on/Fin
Economy: unemployment, poverty, inequality, socio-spatial segregation, regulations of
business and investments, strategic management of infrastructure, GDP
Government: government credibility, citizenship participation, ICT plans, government
expenditure quality, accountability, transparency, quality of government expenditures
Public Finance: debt sustainability, contingent liabilities, taxes, collections management
TECH
Access and connection: Availability of computers or similar devices, Availability of Internet access
in households, Availability of fixed and wireless broadband subscriptions
Information Platforms: Use of social media by the public sector
Information security and privacy: of public services and systems, rules and regulations to ensure
Child Online Protection rules and regulations to ensure Privacy protection in public service
Infrastructure: connection to services: water, wastewater, electricity, roads, construction
Measuring the “smartness” of a city
• Once metrics are established, actions are need.
So, ¿How are we to proceed?

Recap
1. Think about the digital divide than can be
accentuated by implementing IoT.
2. Smart cities give meaning to the IoT and
make use of technology.
3. Break fragmentation of Smart Sustainable
Cities through open smart city platforms.
4. Think about sustainability of IoT and E-waste.
5. Develop metrics to measure the “smartness”
of the cities
