4. Elements for Smartness 4
•From ownership to sharing
•Driven by information
•Focus on the travel experience
Concerns that influence the quality of life in
the region include culture, health, safety and
tourist attraction.
Development of residents themselves, but
also the level of creativity and the quality of
social interaction between people.
• New revenue models
• Collaboration models
• Sharing economy
• Smart grid
• Free Wi-Fi
• Use of local waste heat
• Solar panels
What makes city
(Amsterdam) smart
Sustainability
• Reduce greenhouse gas
emissions/carbon footprint
• Reduce water waste/make clean
water available
Economic development
• Make it easy to do
business/attract new business
• Promote job growth
• Increase per capita GDP
• Drive economic diversity
