8. A Definition of a Smart City
A large-scale urban development which aims to
achieve environmental, economic and social
sustainability through the systematic integration of
its planning, design, operations and management.
This can cover everything from managing the
assets and operation of the city to better provision
of services and information to the inhabitants.

9. Principal Challenges and Issues
Increasing • Expanding populations are causing social issues such as traffic and
populations people congestion and air pollution.
• Regional economies are growing faster than the rest of the world which
Growing economies
is driving increased energy consumption.
Lack of social • Construction of infrastructure (e.g. power generation, hospitals and
infrastructure schools) is not coping with increasing demand.
• Road and rail transportation is highly congested in the large Asian cities
High congestion
causing losses in terms of time and money.
• Budgets and GDP growth in developing countries are not sufficient to
Budget constraints
build necessary infrastructure in time.
Low broadband • Although high in Singapore and South Korea, the level of broadband
penetration penetration is still low Malaysia and Indonesia.

14. Example Opportunity
Roof top landscaping and open areas in Jakarta
• The concept of “rooftop landscaping” is relatively new in Jakarta and is still
Key Challenge perceived as a means to improve the aesthetics of a building rather than boost its
green performance and credentials
• In 2007, the City promised a green face-lift in line with the 2010-2030 “Spatial
Programme Master Plan”, which aims to modernise the urban landscape and increase coverage
of open spaces from 9.3 percent to 30 percent.
• The expansion of green spaces on the roof of buildings has been proved to lower
Smart Environment the temperature of the city, absorbs pollutant gasses, reduces heat islands and solar
radiation, and lower noise levels.
• Specific opportunities exist for architectural consultants specialized in roof

Smart learning with electronic media in Kuala Lumpur
• There is a wide variation in the quality of education, particularly at the tertiary
Key Challenge level. Best practice examples suggest that a way forward lies in the development of
integrated networks of institutions across education value chain.
• EPP 08: Building a health sciences education discipline cluster

16. Example Opportunity
Smart grid deployment nationwide in Seoul
• In South Korea, the authorities are struggling to control electricity demand and
Key Challenge reduce the peak power requirement so are preparing the network for integration of
technologies such as RE, EV and demand response.
• A nationwide smart grid programme has been launched in three phases:
Programme Development of a test bed in Jeju Island by 2012, the expansion into metropolitan
cities by 2020, and completion of a nationwide system by 2030.
• Grid automation is expected to benefit suppliers and consumers by enhancing
Smart Grids reliability, enabling improved power management, facilitating smart transportation
(EV) and integrating renewable energies into the grid.
• A total of $7.18 billion will be invested in the nationwide smart grid by 2030.
Opportunity Approximately, $358 million per year will be spent to 2016 with an additional $2.1
billion investment by 2020 and further investment up to 2030.

17. Example Opportunity
Distance and time based road pricing in Singapore
• Singapore was amongst the first cities globally to introduce a system of Electronic
Key Challenge Road Pricing (ERP). Despite its relative success, the entry-base system is imperfect as
it does not take into account actual usage or congestion caused.
• The Ministry of Transport has proposed upgrading ERP I and replacing it with a
Programme
distance-based and therefore more equitable congestion charge (ERP II).
• ERP II would make the make transportation system completely demand-based.
Smart Transport • The Land Transport Authority is proposing to use satellite tracking to follow vehicles’
movements coupled with more efficient payment options and solutions.
