Smart city project model

This paper aims at bringing to light some weaknesses in smart city projects and holds a rhetorical debate supported by a progressive fraction of the population. Smart city projects are important for urban policies in as much as they allow for a reinvention of territories. We must not only consider the large energy networks and/or technologies, but also take into consideration the distribution and management of tasks and networks run by citizens as they promote civic goodness and social sensibility. The “smart city” is a good programme because it can aim at developing a new form of “modernity and civilization” of the productive platform. Numerous aspects of the territorial policy can enhance the competitiveness of the territories, in particular social cohesion, the diffusion of knowledge, creativity, accessibility and freedom of movement, the usability of the environment itself and the quality of the landscape, as well as the wellbeing of citizens. • Previous article in issue • Next article in issue

What is a smart city? A smart city is an urban area that uses an array of digital technologies to enrich residents’ lives, improve infrastructure, modernize government services, enhance accessibility, drive sustainability, and accelerate economic development. Smart cities are the cities of the future. Governments in many of these smart cities tap into a combination of Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), edge, blockchain, and other cutting-edge smart city solutions to: • Protect and connect with residents and businesses. • Improve accessibility for all people in the community. • Support businesses and fuel economic growth. • Share information with the public. • Streamline government operations. • Deliver user-friendly community services. • Provide reliable, intelligent infrastructure. • Drive environmental sustainability. • Promote cross-agency collaboration. • Upgrade public transportation. • Manage city resources to avoid waste. • Collect and analyze open data to get valuable insights. Using the latest digital solutions, governments in smart cities gain a comprehensive view of all city operations, infrastructure, and services. This allows city managers to predict potential issues, quickly overcome challenges, and improve outcomes. It all comes together to elevate experiences for the urban area’s residents, visitors, and businesses—and build a brighter future for the city. What’s driving smarter cities? Urban cen...

On the 15 th of July, 2021, the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Home Affairs (BMI) announced the winning cities of the third season of German “Smart Cities Model Projects”. This exciting scheme provides funding to assist selected cities with their digital transformation strategies and smart city projects. The scheme first began in 2019, where 13 German cities were selected for funding. In 2020, the project expanded to provide funding to , to a total of 820 million Euros. For the 2021 edition, a total of 94 cities, districts, and municipalities applied to the nation’s “Smart Cities Model Projects” for funding, but . The selection process included a rigorous multi-stage review, thorough evaluations by external experts who assessed how each city’s application best adhered to the twelve published criteria of the Model Projects scheme, and how each application focused on this year’s theme. The final decision was made by an eleven-person jury comprised of representatives from science, politics, and municipal umbrella organizations, chaired by State Secretary for Construction Anne Katrin Bohle. Aside from funding, selected smart city projects also enjoy support from a range of partners, such as Fraunhofer IAO, DiFu, Creative Climate Cities, DLR, and Prognos, in the form of technical guidance and project coordination. "Building back stronger together - creating spaces for the future" In the third round of the Smart Cities Model Projects funding programme , ci...

A geographic information system (GIS) has been used in the construction of a large-scale model of a smart city project in France. The smart city concept is developing very quickly around the world, because it provides a comprehensive digital environment that improves the efficiency and security of urban systems and reinforces the involvement of citizens in urban development. This concept is based on the use of geospatial data concerning the urban built environment, the natural environment and urban services. The successful implementation of a smart city project requires the development of a digital system that can manage and visualise the geospatial data in a user-friendly environment. The geographic information system (GIS) offers advanced and user-friendly capabilities for smart city projects. This article shows how a GIS could help in the implementation of smart city projects and describes its use in the construction of a large-scale model of the smart city. The ‘smart city’ concept aims at developing a comprehensive system that uses geospatial data to enhance the understanding of complex urban systems and to improve the efficiency and security of these systems. This geospatial data concerns (i) the urban built environment such as infrastructure, buildings and public spaces, (ii) the natural environment such as biodiversity, green spaces, air quality, soil and water, and (iii) urban services such as transport, municipal waste, water, energy, health and education.
