2. The “City” : Major role in the world
80 % of the Economic Activity
80% of the green house emission

3. CitySmart
Center of the world
civilization
What is the city but the people?
Be fully attentive

4. City Smart
Challenges
• Population growth
• Urban infrastructures and
services
• Impact on the environment
Innovative solution
Public concern, focusing on
• Citizens
• Quality of life

5. Urban

Developing countries
Population growth

6. By 2030 :
• Nearly 2 billion of new urban residents
• 400,000 km2 will be constructed for urban
use (doubling the world’s built urban area)

7. World map of mega-cities in 2030
Concentration in large metropolis

8. Be attentive:
1. Provide basic services:
• Water, electricity, transport, municipal wastes
• Housing
• Health, education, administration, security
2. Involve people in the decision

9. Urban infrastructures:
The great challenge

10. Infrastructures: major role in quality of life

11. Urban infrastructure in France
Electrical Grid:
High and Low tension lines : 1,270,000 km
Water network:
1,0500,000 km (26 times the earth perimeter)

12. Urban Infrastructures:
• Huge investment
• Huge maintenance cost
• Innovation (technology & governance)

13. Infrastructure degradation
United States (ASCE, 2013 report):
GPA of infrastructure : D+
$3.6 trillions for
infrastructure update

14. http://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2013/08/30/blackout-risk-tool-puts-price-tag-on-power-reliability/
“Our grids are old and our equipment is aging,”
said Robin Luo, vice president and blackout model project manager at
Hartford Steam Boiler.
US: yearly cost of electrical outages = $ 150B

15. 10 mars 2015
France: A bridge is closed every day

16. Urban traffic: jams in almost all cities

17. Air pollution
7 million premature deaths annually linked to
air pollution (WHO)

18. Lack of transport infrastructure

19. 1 billion do not have access to drinking water service
Leakage : 50% water lost in some cities
Water quality (water pollution, sea water intrusion)
Lack of basic infrastructures

20. • 2.4 billion do not have access to sewage water service
• Flood, pollution
Lack of basic infrastructures

21. By 2035 (International Energy Agency - IEA):
• One billion without access to the electricity
Lack of basic infrastructures

22. Developing countries:
Investment in infrastructure = $ 1.8 to 2.3 Trillion /year
Transport
Electricity
Water
Telecom

23. Population aging challenge

Eco- responsible
Socio -responsible
Huge economic crisis
We have to transform the city
Opportunity: Digital technology ?

25. Digital technology and
Smart City

26. Digital

Internet
Social Network

27. Could operate:
• Measurement
• Data storage & analysis
•Communication with other “Things”
Each “Thing”
• Unique identifier
• Geo-localized

33. Smart city technology allows:
• Real-time monitoring
• Rapid action in the case of abnormal event
(security, leakage, contamination,....)
• Optimal management
• Stakeholders implication
• New services

34. Smart City in developing
countries

35. Opportunities for developing countries
Have to build new infrastructures (urban networks,
transport, buildings,..)
The cost of smart monitoring is low regarding the
infrastructure cost.
The smart “design” reduces the cost of construction

36. • Improves the asset management
• Reduces the running and maintenance costs
The smart technology
Savings in the construction and running costs
largely fund the smart system implementation

37. Other opportunities for developing countries
• High mobile penetration
• High use of social media
• Excellent skills in information technology

38. Barriers to the smart city implementation
• Cultural (policy makers, administration, private
sector, individual…)
• Organization (in silos)
• Regulations
• Economic model

39. Smart City Implementation:
Lessons from a 5-years of large scale
experimentation
