SMART CITIES
I’m sure many of you have heard of smart cities….
These are cities that use information communication
technologies and data, to be more efficient.
They enjoy cost and energy savings, improved service
delivery, better quality of life and a reduced environmental
footprint.
They also promote digital technologies to increase the
capability of existing infrastructure and services, and champion
citizen involvement and citizen-focused service delivery.
<NEXT SLIDE> But it is not just cities that can be smart, we
can apply the same principles

SMART COMMUNITIES
But it is not just cities that can be smart, we can apply the
same principles to local, regional, state level, or even
businesses and enterprises.
This means that pretty much everyone in this room can be part
of a smart community

4. SMART WORKFLOWS
Smart Communities need smart technology & every smart
communities is defined by smart workflows – workflows that
are optimized with use of apps!
ArcGIS platform provides you more than 150 apps and
templates, meaning there is an app for every member of your
community.
It also provides you with a GIS Hub or Geo Hub to manage
and makes all your resources secure yet discoverable.
In this session, I would like to share with you an international
example on how the city of Los Angeles is able to address
common challenges that many cities are facing and they are
able make their city to work smarter. In the next session, you
will see our very own local example on how IRDA are able to
drive
and achieve their vision of making Iskandar, a region that is
smart, livable and prosper.

Those aspirations get translated into actionable, real-world initiatives
From all the places we travelled, every city is aspired to be
smart, livable, prosper. Every city leaders translate these
aspirations into policies and initiatives to drive their vision.
Same for City of L.A., when Mayor Eric Garcetti came into
office, he faced some complex challenges, street repairs,
closures and congestions, a recovering economy, climate
change and then the everyday challenges of offering public
services. As a young tech-savvy mayor, he realized the city
was not using technology and data as it needed to.

When his team start looking at these challenges and making
Mayor’s initiatives to work, they realize to really address them
adequately, data and collaboration across departments is often
required.
With the shrinking government budget, the city needs a
technology to breakdown the silos of existing data, which has
been locked in different departments or difficult to use
applications.

Then they took one step further - Initiatives can also benefit by
engaging partners in the community. Can the city work more
closely with universities to tackle traffic congestion for
example? Or with NGOs to impact homelessness? Or with
businesses to address affordable housing?
So the idea of creating a Hub into mind – the government
becomes a hub that every departments, everyday business,
universities and NGO, even citizens could draw information
from, a place they could collaborate freely.
In collaboration with Esri, the city launched Geohub early last
year, the delivery of Geohub is a spatial enabled civic
engagement platform that drives initiative-focused solutions. It
hosts maps, data, numbers of web pages, applications and
development tools.
It is a way to maximize knowledge sharing and collaboration
not only within government departments, but also with the
entire society.

8. This show an example of how Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Clean Streets Index, the first-of-its-kind, is a
grading system of every street in Los Angeles. The Bureau of
Sanitation drove and scored over 9,000 miles of streets and
alleys - each segment received a "cleanliness score" from 1-3.
Relocate resources to part of the city.
This application been shared not only within the department
but cross department to the public.

user to View construction and permit activities under way and
coming soon to the streets of Los Angeles!

The series of study and all transportation data has been then
published to an initiative page on Geohub, not just for
educating public what to do, what not to do. But to encourage
the entire community – the NGOs, that Universities, the Start-
ups to take the data city has, leveraging APIs from the site, to
participate in the initiative, being part of the equation to solve
the problems.
Now universities are looking at if we make city of LA more
walkable, how that going to contribute to VisionZero.
Through Geohub GIS has became a true investment city has
made for all its citizens.

kinds of data (spatial, non-

and for cross-departmental
collaboration

platform,powered by

making city data,
services,and apps
publically available
3D Hub View
Leveraging WebGIS, all these data can be dynamically feeded
into any applications.
As initiatives change, it is becomes easier for the city and
community to respond because the Hub platform for data
sharing has been established. The maps, apps and derived
data from previous initiative remains in the Hub for reuse. The
capabilities begin to build on themselves. It evolves
organically.
The hub pattern is adaptive, flexible, robust – all the qualities
that an organization requires to be agile.

13. ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL HUB
STRATEGY
Explorable Data
Includes Map and Operational Data
Opens Data Internally and Externally
Launches Apps for Immediate Use
Provides Context of Issues Through Story Maps
Offers Training and Developer Resources
Leverages a Larger Ecosystem
GeoHub weaving together pockets of existing data, hosting
applications that actually matter to a city.
It provided cityhall to completely rethink how to use
technologies to break down the silos, to create a solution go
way beyond the typical firehose approach, most city takes
towards open data.
Leads with city initiatives, putting the right maps together with
operational data, make them available both internally and
externally, launch apps that could be used by anyone from
anywhere at anytime, all of these strategies contributed to the
success of Geohub.
As you heard earlier, the technology is here, you can have the
GeoHub today and make GIS work more efficiently and
effectively to your city.

YOUR COMMUNITY
NEXT:
ArcGIS for Smart Communities provides a single destination,
GIS Hub and enables different roles in your organization to
discover information, make maps, share and use these
authoritative information anytime, anywhere and in any
devices. This platform geo-enable and geo-empower your
organization.
<In the next few sessions, you will see how the platform
enable you to improve workflows across the organization – 1
at a time>
<There are apps for everyone>
<The technology has transformed our community into a smart
community and it can easily do the same for yours>
<Don’t do more of the same – implement smart workflows and
start improving your community now>
Thank you
