2. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
« Cities are the closest governmental level to the majority of the
world’s population… » (M. Bloomberg, ex-mayor of New York)
This fact bring them to much faster transformative interventions
compared to their central governments.

3. Today the 50% of people live in urban areas, consume the 75%
of resources and produce the 80% of gas carbon.
With the actual trend in 2050 the world population will reach 9
billion people with the 70% in urban areas.
In the 30 most developed Countries vehicles will pass from the
actual 700 millions to 1,7 billions.

4. The great urban phenomenons will happen outside of our country
but in the same geopolitical area: Est Europe and the Mediterranean
basin. Italy is its junction and can catalyse the ongoing processes
placing itself as a guide-laboratory, above all for the emergence of
alternative models based on middle-towns, quality of life and
potentiality of cultural heritage.

5. In Italian cities we assist the
unstoppable demand of spaces
for free socialization or
cultural production while the
wave of sharing economy
overwhelm the markets…

6. All of this quesions about specificities that jointly the reform of
territorial governance impose an abrupt acceleration for policies
programming and for arragment of technological platforms able to
systematise the complexity of the Coutry-System, enabling its
development towards innovation.

7. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
In the meantime something will happen wordlwide:
 In 2015 in Italy the 35% of new buildings’ consumption will
be feeded by renewable sources, penalty the denial of the
building permit (Dlgs 28/2011);
 In 2016 the 50% of Italian population will be able to connect
through broadband at 30 Megabit (Caio Report);

8. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
 In 2017 the world sustainable mobility can grow up to
19.5% among electric, plug-in electric cars and hybrid
vehicles (Pike Research);
 In 2018 in USA e-commerce will reach 414 billions dollars
turnover, 70% of those in mobile (Forrester);

9. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
 In 2019 the number of global
subscribers to Lte services will pass
to about 2 billions from 229,7
millions in 2013 (ABI Research);
 In 2020 the world of Internet of
Things will encounter 26 billions of
connected objects, an increased
number of about 30 times compared
to 2009 (Gartner).

10. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
These are datas that prefigue a necessary transformation of life
style in urban areas.
Smart City and Smart Community are cities and territories
interpreted as combinations of informative fluxes and web of
relations and communications, both phisical and digital,
characterized by the capability to create social capital, people well-
being, better quality of life.
CONNECTION, PARTICIPATION, SUSTAINABILITY.
These are the solutions!

11. Why smart city keeps on being a priority
Systematising, these
are the scopes:
Enabling
Technologies
Mobility
Tourism
Safeguarding
of the
territory
Employment
Logistic
Culture
Health
Environment

12. Which resourches and opportunities
The European Urban Agenda is at stake of
Structural Funds 2014-2020:
– The 5% of funds will be addressed to
projects for cities;
– In Italy is dedicated a PON is dedicated to
Metropolitan Areas
To such areas are addressed a total of about 1
billion euros. In detail, to each city in South will go
from 80 to100 millions, while to those in Center-
North and Sardinia from 35 to 40 millions.

13. Which resources and opportunities
Inside Horizon 2020 – the new European Program to
finance Research and Innovation for 80 billions of
euros – the interventions for the Smart City are part of
2 on 3 financement branches:
- Industrial Leadership
- Societal Challenges
With a series of specific competitions already started
and others expiring on March 2015, a reason to fastly
proceed in defining partnerships.

14. Which resources and opportunities
More than 850 millions of euros in Italy have been
addressed to MIUR competitions, projects that need
to be monitored and support by central government
as well as a coordination to ease a reuse for the
creation of an archive of intelligent solutions:
To see where things work and systematize the
surveyed experiences (benchmark).

15. Which resources and opportunities
To fund the Smart City is possible, with three
conditions:
1) Spend less, spend better by reusing and targeting
investments;
2) promote public/private parnerships;
3) do mix funding (project financing, European and
national financing, ppp).
Using the new European programming in a strategic
way.

16. The Italian situation is specific
• 15 cities with more than 200.000 inhabitants;
• a widespread presence of middle-towns;
• the 85% of municipalities with less than 10.000 inhabitants.
In smart city planning emerged in such context:

17. The Italian situation is specific
The holistic
● a core of big towns (Genova, Torino, Bari, Milano, Firenze)
which thanks to the boost of competitions started structured paths
toward the Smart City. By:
 systematizing projects and interventions;
 multilevel governance mechanisms among public, industry,
finance, research and culture based actors.

18. The Italian situation is specific
The sectoral
● A significant number of municipalities, most of them middle-
sized, experimented and actualized great quality interventions on
specific sectors (sustainable mobility, e-government, energetic
efficency, cultural heritage valorization, integrated data
management) and now started to act towards the integration with
other fields of citizens’ interests.

19. The Italian situation is specific
The latecoming
● urban contexs and wide areas, above all because of a
significant territorial divide, both dimensional and infrastructural,
still appear late regarding the adoption of planning and
intervention models based on networks, services and territorial
actor integration.

20. The Italian situation is specific
From the ANCI Observatory on Smart City
emerges the Italian way to smart cities mainly
characterized by:
 a prevalence of actions related to the
managment of sustainable energy
resources to reduce CO2 emissions;
 A positive inclination, but still not on a
sufficient mature stage, to the managment
of integrated data through ICT platforms
for the advanced analysis of territorial
informations;

21. The Italian situation is specific
 a resort to varied forms of funding but with a
«traditional» form (municipal evaluation,
European and national competitions, regional
resources), still with a low effect of public-
private partnership models, innovative
procurement and project financing;
 an inclination to play on initiatives with
planning and realization modalities oriented on
the participation of territorial actors, with
governance models (association, foundation)
targeted to share urban development
processes;

22. The Italian situation is specific
 a growing consciousness on the need to consider social and
cultural dimensions as pivotal to identify the perspectives of
urban development under an inclusive point of view.

23. We will talk about it at SMART CITY EXHIBITION 2014
dedicated this year to:
THE GOVERNANCE OF NEW CITIES
A great opportunity of
collaborative work: it’s possible to
replace the Municipalities’ low
financial capability only through a
platform able to systematize
knowledge and solutions to
make them replicable and
scalable.

24. SMART City Exhibition: the numbers of a success
In the last edition:
125cities with 25from abroad,
100investors, 500speakers
