unique …
… but there are
common challenges!

3. Open Innovation for Future Internet-enabled
Services in Connected Smart Cities
• 20+ experimental platforms
projects, 50 M€ EU funding
• Boost deployment of Internet
enabled services
• Real-life experiments by creative
smart citizens

6. OrganiCity -
Co-creating Smart Cities of the Future
• Large Project, in H2020 FIRE+ (ICT-11), EC contribution 7,26 MEUR, 36
months, 15 participants.
• OrganiCity develops a set tools for the co-creation of urban ICT
infrastructure, knowledge and services where citizen involvement is key.
• OrganiCity will develop an integrated Experimentation-as-a-Service
facility.
• Two open calls will invite 25-35 experiments to use the new OrganiCity
facility and its co-creation tools for trans-disciplinary participatory urban
interaction design.
Three clusters – Aarhus (DK, coordinator),
London (UK) and Santander (ES)

7. Open & Agile Smart Cities:
Creating the Smart City Market
 Cities need interoperability and standards to boost competitiveness
by avoiding vendor lock-in, and easy sharing of best practices.
 Urban and regional development is a key asset for Europe.
 No single solution has emerged to substitute the many 100s of legacy IT
systems that exist in any city.
How can cities get smarter?

8. Usual situation
Formats and interfaces in cities’ systems vary
• ‘Open’ interfaces to legacy systems not coherent between
or even within cities
• Sometimes no documentation
Transferring apps
from one city to another

From CitySDK

9. Smarter situation
CitySDK APIs
Unified open software interfaces
(APIs) to the various cities’ systems
Transferring apps
from one city to another
=
Of course: Making services reusable is important goal!
Service should be reusable and valuable building blocks for apps!
CitySDK as building blocks for innovation (cfr. ecosystem)
