  • "We built this city"

  • "We built this city on rock and roll"

  • As weve seen it’s not the best practice to build a city on rock and roll, but rather

  • embed it with technolgy, renewable energy, and resource optimization.

  • Smart cities are cities that use digital technology to enhance the quality of life and public

  • services for it’s inhabitants. The concept is too young to provide formal boundaries,

  • but we can talk about it’s fundations and building blocks.

  • I like depicting the building blocks in three steps, situational enablers, technology embedding, and key features.

  • In the bottom we have growing social acceptance of the digital world

  • Which goes along with a political environment that demands transparent administration

  • and efficient management. The infrastructure that is already in place

  • for public safety and security has shown

  • the citizens the benefits of connected services

  • The fast growth of metropolitan areas requires financial sustainability that many modern cities lack

  • Finally, our planet needs us to switch to a predonminantly transit-oriented green environment

  • with a minimum carbon footprint.

  • In the top row, we have the key features that would raise the IQ of a city

  • >Smart Resources: Smart Grid, metering and delivery of Electricity, Gas, & Water

  • >Smart Mobility: Inteligent congestion management, and reliance on public transportation and

  • electric vehicles >Smart P.S: Safety, healthcare, lighting.

  • >Smart Building and homes: Efficient monitoring, HVAC, and private safety (detectors, locks)

  • > Smart Integration of information accreoss departments and between the public and private

  • sectors, to provide more faster and better services, and creating opportunities for innovation.

  • In order to get to the last stage, we need a fundation of physical objects communicating with processes,

  • data, and people, embedded with electronics, sw, sensors, and network conectivity.

  • A pervasive broadband network, like city-wide WiFi service (Smart+Connected City Wi-Fi), will provide connectivity to

  • users and devices all over the city. IPv6, among other features, will provide enough

  • unique addresses for the forseeable future.

  • The biggest Issue is defining one flexible and interoperable system that homogeinizes

  • communication The IETF proposes a solution embracing a web

  • service architecture that can be extended to IoT nodes, Representational State Transfer

  • (ReST). And defines different protocols stacks for

  • constrained and not constrained devices.
