3. Why Smart Cities Matter for Europe?
By 2050, 2 out of every 3 people
on Earth will live in Cities
380 Cities account for
50% of Global GDP
Pollution in Cities accelerates
ageing by 10%
Cities raise stress levels by more
than 40%
4. Open (public) data:
Why does it matter for Europe?
1. Untapped business and economic opportunities:
data is the new gold; possible direct and indirect gains of
€140bln across the EU28; Dutch geo-sector in 2008:
15.000 jobs
2. Better governance and citizen empowerment:
open data increases transparency, citizen participation and
administrative efficiency and accountability
3. Addressing societal challenges: data can enhance
sustainability of health care systems; essential for tackling
environmental challenges
4. Accelerating scientific progress: e-science essential
for meeting the challenges of the 21st century in scientific
discovery and learning.
5. Re-use of open government data
Publicly funded data must be available for all
What data are we talking about?
Statistics, environmental and geographical data,
meteorological data, business information,
legal information
Combination of different types of data
(e.g. geo, traffic and tourism)
EU-wide applications and services
Capitalise on the size of the internal market
Systems that facilitate decision making by
companies
6. Open data strategy
- Communication on Open Data (COM(2011)882)
- A revision of the Decision governing the re-use of
Commission's own information (2011/833/EU)
- Revision of the Directive on the re-use of public
sector information (2013/37/EU)
- Commission Notice: guidelines on PSI re-use
(2014/C 240/01)
- EU Open data-portals
7. Guidelines on PSI re-use – 17.07.2014
• Focus on three topics: licensing, datasets and
charging
• Adoption by the College as Commission
Communication in form of a Notice
• Non-binding document
• Gives guidance and best practice examples
• Useful for the Member States during the
transposition phase and afterwards
8. Towards a pan-European
infrastructure for (open) data
Rationale
• One single gateway to reusable information with
the aim of enabling combination of information
held by various open data portals at various
levels throughout the EU
• Services around open data
• Dedicated service infrastructure for language
resources in order facilitate multi-lingual access
to online services

32. Innovation Actions – Scope: To identify, develop and deploy replicable, balanced and
integrated solutions in the energy, transport, and ICT actions through partnerships
between municipalities and industries.
These will be the lighthouse projects as identified by the Communication on Smart
Cities and Communities. Lighthouse projects will target primarily large scale
demonstration of replicable SCC concepts in city context where existing
technologies or very near to market technologies will be integrated in an innovative
way.
The proposals should address the following main areas:
• (Nearly zero) or low energy districts
• Integrated Infrastructures
• Sustainable urban mobility
SCC-01-2015 - Smart Cities and Communities solutions integrating
energy, transport, ICT sectors through lighthouse (large scale
demonstration - first of the kind) projects
33. Coordination and Support Actions
Scope: Today the standards are developed for specific components or areas such
as smart meters, smart grids, ICT etc. With the development of integrated solutions
of Smart Cities and Communities a system approach is needed.
It is expected that this work is carried out by the industries cities and communities
contributing to the Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership
in cooperation with the European Standardisation Organisations (CEN, CENELEC,
ETSI) as well as other Standard Developing Organisations (SDOs) responsible for
technical specifications in the area of Smart Cities. Social acceptance of developed
solutions might be considered.
