SMART URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN 21ST CENTURY
 Rome was one of the first cities in the world to reach a population of 0,8 million people at the area of 10 km2. This was in the
year 3 AD. It took about 14 centuries for the next city, London, to reach a similar population.
 This trend of urbanization gathered incredible momentum and frantic pace in the 21th century, with more than 50% global
urbanization rate. The primary reason for urbanization is that the top 25 cities of the world today account for half of the world’s
wealth by attracting the brightest talent the worlds’ largest companies and individually rich persons.
 In the 21st century we are also embarking in an entirely new context, where land, energy, water, food supply and social equality
are critical, and for which we need new types of countries, cities and communities.
 In 2014 there were 7.25 billion people living on the planet, of which the global urban population comprised 3.9 billion, which is
predicted to grow to 6.4 billion by 2050, with 37% of that growth to come from three countries: China, India and Nigeria (The
Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs).
 We live in a dynamic world of increasingly non-calculable risks and uncertainties created by its disruptive innovations and
technological developments.
 Technology has always had transformative effects on the way cities are designed and operated.
 The automobile encouraged sprawling suburbs;
 the elevator enabled high-rise developments;
 shipping and affordable air travel has fostered a global economy that is cultivated in urban agglomerations; and advances in
civil infrastructure (such as public transport networks and waste management systems) have equipped mega cities of tens of
millions of inhabitants to continue growing.
 In the 21st century, cities are being transformed by the latest wave of technological development brought about by
Environmental Engineering and Information Communications Technology (ICT), which is again challenging the nature of city
functioning and experience”, creating more efficient, effective and equitable urban environments. [DELIVERING THE SMART
CITY: Governing Cities in the Digital Age. Arup, 2014].
 Global Urbanization is increasingly generating world urban areas (500,000+) spatially developing as:
 Human Settlement > Town > City (CBD, Inner City/Urban Core/Downtown/City Center, Districts) > Capital City > Big
City/Metropolis (Core City, Suburbs, Exurbs; Metropolitan Area or Urban Area) > Global or World City > Conurbation or
Megalopolis > Mega Region > Mega Corridor > Country > …

SMART MEGA CITIES, GLOBAL CITIES, MEGA
REGIONS AND MEGA CORRIDORS
 Mega Cities, Global Cities, Mega Regions and Mega Corridors will be in an incessant race to attract the
investment, brightest talent and the worlds’ best companies.
 Mega Cities, or Megalopolises are formed by the integration of core city with suburbs and housing over 8
million people and GDP of more than $250 billion in 2025.
 A metropolitan area (a metropolitan region, metro area, metro, metropolitan statistical area, metro service
area, or "MSA") is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its surrounding territories having
common industry, infrastructure, and housing. It comprises multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: cities,
neighborhoods, townships, suburbs, exurbs, counties, districts, states, and even nations, as eurodistricts.
Metropolitan areas have become key social, economic and political regions including one or more urban
areas, agglomerations of cities, as well as satellite cities, towns and intervening rural areas that are socio-
economically tied to the urban core by commuting patterns, employment and other commerce.
 Mega Regions are "city-regions", emerging from the integration of two or more cities or expansion of city to
join with adjoining daughter cities to form Mega Regions housing over 15 million people.
 Mega Corridors are Urbanization Corridors connecting two or more Mega Cities or Mega Regions, converging
to form Mega Corridors, a chain of interlinked urban or metropolitan areas, which can be 100 km distance
and having population of over 25 million living within the corridor.
 The Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou/Canton Mega Corridor in China has a population of 120 million
people.
 As getting more crowded; the cities, megacities, regions and corridors will put tremendous pressure on the
infrastructure and the whole environment driving the mega trend to the development of the Sustainable
Smart and Inclusive Cities of the future, adopting a fully integrated strategy to successfully plan, design,
develop and deploy intelligent and sustainable solutions.

MEGA TRENDS: SMART METROPOLISES, MEGALOPOLISES, MEGA
REGIONS AND MEGA CORRIDORS
 The world's largest megalopolis is probably the Taiheiyō Belt (the Pacific megalopolis) of Japan on southeastern Honshu that
consists of the metropolis of Tokyo, Kawasaki, Yokohama, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Okayama,
Hiroshima, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka and their surrounding cities and towns, with the population as high as 83 million people.
 Europe contains numerous large metropolitan areas, such as the Madrid metropolitan area in Spain (pop. 6.3 million), the
Milan metropolitan area (pop. 8 million) in Italy, the Barcelona metropolitan area (pop. 5 million), the Randstad (pop. 7.1
million) in the Netherlands, the Upper Silesian metropolitan area (pop. 7 million) in Poland and the Czech Republic, and the
Flemish Diamond (pop. 5.5 million) in Belgium. The largest are the London metropolitan area (pop. 13.6 million), Paris
metropolitan area (pop. 12.2 million), and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region (pop. 11.5 million) in Germany.
 Europe contains one megalopolis, known as the 'Blue Banana', stretching from London (the Thames estuary) down the Rhine
corridor including Brussels, Paris and the Rhine-Ruhr as far as Turin and Milan, with the total population ranging from 92 to
110 million, if including the Parisian area.
 The largest urban area in the United States is the New York City metropolitan area, which core city exceeds 8 million people,
while its metropolitan statistical area has a population over 19 million, and its combined statistical area population is over 22
million.
 In Asia, Seoul National Capital Area is a megalopolis with a population of 24 million, which includes Seoul, Incheon, Suwon,
Goyang, Yongin, and the rest of Gyeonggi-do and extends to some fraction of western Gangwon-do, and Chungcheong-do.
 Guangdong Province's Pearl River Delta is a megalopolis with a population of 48 million that extends from Hong Kong and
Shenzhen to Guangzhou.
 In North America, it is the Northeast megalopolis, the BosWash, consisting of Boston; Providence, RI; Hartford, CT; Greater New
York City; Philadelphia; Wilmington, DE; Baltimore; Washington, DC and their vicinities and surrounding areas.
 İstanbul-Kocaeli-Sakarya-Yalova-Bursa metropolitan area, around the eastern part of Marmara Sea, has total population of
almost 20 Million and with the combined economy of US$750 Billion.
 Africa's megalopolis is comprising the conurbation of Johannesburg, and the metropolitan areas of Pretoria and the Vaal
Triangle, otherwise known as the PWV.
 The Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou/Canton Mega Corridor in China has a population of 120 million people.
 The sustainability of megalopolises will depend on the future development strategy the core global cities are to adopt.

WHO AND HOW TO BUILD FUTURE CITIES
 Smart Mega Cities, Mega Corridors and Mega Regions follow intelligent urbanization according to the
principles of sustainable smart and social development; such mega urban areas should have political,
electoral or jurisdictional power, so citizens could be engaged in the direct government and/or elect
representatives for them, if need be.
 Beside sustainable urban renewal and smart redevelopment, there will also be an increasing number of new
cities ab novo adopting the principles of broad sustainability, environmental, economic, social, etc.
 Many of these new cities will be from the countries of India and China; it is expected that by 2030 up to 1
billion people will live in China's urban areas.
 Intelligent urbanization is being done to decongest the population from the Mega Cities, Mega Corridors and
Mega Regions and help continue the strong economic growth.
 A large number of global players from diverse industries such as Energy, Automotive, IT, Telecommunications,
Building Technologies are making significant investments to reap the benefits from the Mega Trend.
 There will be a convergence of competition and we will see the entry of new players with capabilities to
provide fully integrated, sustainable and customized smart city solutions.
 It is also very clear it is not possible for any one entity (government or company) to fully address the entire
end-to-end needs of any real smart city project.
 Any government or company who wish to be successful need to forge strong Public-Private-People
partnerships with different participants in the ecosystem, guided by the smart and sustainable city
strategists.
 Otherwise, one might have new ghost cities as in China or “100 smart cities” as in India, failing to adopt a
fully integrated urban strategy to successfully plan, design, develop and deploy intelligent and sustainable
solutions, basing on SUSTAINABLE ECOLOGICAL SMART SOCIAL CITIES REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE >>>.

WHAT IS NOT A REAL SMART CITY
 What is a true Smart City might make or break
the whole future of a global city, like as Hong
Kong SAR.
 A Smart City is not a “city which capitalises on
new technologies and developments to enhance
its systems, operations and service delivery”.
 “Smart Cities are not just about the application
of ICT to connect and integrate the systems and
services of the city”.
 The goal for Smart Cities is not just “to improve
city management and residents' quality of life
through the efficient use of resources and
service delivery whilst at the same time reducing
environmental footprint”.
 Smart City is not what figured as “Smart
Economy, Smart Environment, Smart People,
Smart Mobility, Smart Living or Smart
Government”.

WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE, GREEN, SMART AND
SOCIAL CITY “X”: HOW IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED
 A sustainable green smart and social City “X” is replaceable by any future city or old and legacy city, from Adelaide to Peking to Moscow to
London to Washington, which is committed to a holistic smart city conception and definition, integrated urban planning , development and
management.
 There are many definitions of smart cities, from the infusion of ICT into urban systems to intelligent design and technological optimization
to reach full sustainability.
 Specifically, a smart city is defined as one in which technology is integrated into a strategic approach to sustainability, citizen well-being,
and economic development. In essence, smart cities are a phenomenon created from the convergence of the challenges of modern
urbanization and the emergence of new technologies that can address them in a comprehensive way.
 The smart city market is to be made up of five main industry sectors: smart energy (and the smart grid), smart transportation, smart water,
smart buildings, and smart government (including social services such as health, education, and security) (Navigant Research).
 Demographic, environmental, economic, political and socio-cultural factors are forcing the urban world to become more efficient and
effective, human-oriented and equal, more innovative and intelligent, more resilient and environment-wiser.
 A real or true smart city is a unified urban entity with three critical layers/levels/spaces, all planned, developed and managed as its
integral parts:
 • Digital/ICT/Hi-Tech/Ubiquitous/Cyber/Mobile/Digitally Smart and Intelligent City (Digital/Information Capital; Digital Urban Spaces,
Multi-Play Telecom Network, ICT spaces/systems/applications, Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous Computation, Smart Cloud Computing,
Network-integrated Real Estate, City OS, Intelligent City Management Platform, Augmented Virtual Reality, Virtual Lifestyle);
 • Sustainable/Ecological/Green/Zero-Carbon/Zero-Waste/Eco Friendly/Clean City (Natural Capital; Natural Urban Spaces and
Ecosystems, Green Energy Network, Real Eco Estate, Ecological buildings, Eco City Innovations, Green Lifestyle);
 • Knowledge/Learning/Innovation/Intelligent/Science/Intellectual/LivingLab/Creative/Human/Social /Inclusive City/Noopolis
(Knowledge Capital; Innovation Systems, Meaningful Urban Spaces, Collective Intelligence, Knowledge Triangle/Ecology, Health Triangle,
Human Social City, Social City Technologies, Intelligent/Smart Lifestyle).
 A truly smart city is three innovative cities in one, the Urban Trinity of Information Cyber City, Social/Intelligent/Knowledge City and
Ecological/Clean city. It is essential to draw distinctions between a smart city, as a unified urban entity, and “smart city” technologies,
applications, and systems, as well as fragmented “smart city” projects, lacking the overall conception of the smart city project and
resulting in unsustainably over-costly ventures>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 All international standards activity on smart and sustainable city is fruitless without defining its common vision, definition, and concept,
model, strategy, architecture, and planning, requirements, indicators and metrics.

 http://eu-smartcities.eu/commitment/3089
 Asia is home to most of the world’s largest and fastest-growing urban areas, and smart eco city concept is to
become a crucial element of their future development, housing growing populations and creating policies
that encourage smart green city strategy to guide their healthy inclusive people-focused development.

FUTURE CITIES IN RUSSIA: УМНАЯ ЗЕЛЕНАЯ МОСКВА -
ГЛОБАЛЬНЫЙ МИРОВОЙ ГОРОД
 Большая Москва, развиваясь как умный город будущего, может конкурировать за статус глобального

HONG KONG SAR SMART SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY
 We are advancing the China – Smart Eco Power initiative together with the Sustainable Silk Road Mega Project within the
general framework of Sustainable Global Development.
 The Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of China, Mr. C Y Leung, in 2015 Policy
Address announced the action plans and specific measures on population policy to promoting Hong Kong's long-term
sustainable social and economic development.
 We plan proposing the Government the Consultancy Services for helping the Chief Executive create the Future Hong Kong SAR
Sustainable Development Strategy to secure its position as Asia’s world city and world’s leading city.
 The Future Hong Kong Development Strategy is the Policy Blueprint for integrating the sustainability dimensions, such as land,
environment, and ecology, infrastructure and industry, economics and business, science, technology and innovation, arts and
culture, society, demographics, wealth and poverty, governance, communities and citizens.
 In all, it is to feature the comprehensive Smart and Sustainable Region Plan, with a long term vision and strategy, mid and
short term actions, organisation chart with responsibilities, targets and milestones, costs and resources, covering the sectorial
strategies and individual urban projects as the “Smarter Hong Kong, Smarter Living” Strategy or the West Kowloon Cultural
District project.
 The I-Hong Kong Governance Platform will deployed digitally modelling the urban flows and systems that affect the functions
and operations of 18 Administrative Districts: 1. Islands, 2. Kwai Tsing, 3. North, 4. Sai Kung, 5. Sha Tin, 6. Tai Po, 7. Tsuen

15. Central & Western, 16. Eastern, 17. Southern, 18. Wan Chai
 The Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou/Canton Mega Corridor in China has a population of 120 million people.
 We failed to be properly responded. instead, the 2016 Policy Address announced that the Innovation & Technology Bureau
(ITB) will study the development of a "Smart City" in collaboration with research institutions, public and private organizations.
The Policy Address stated that ITB will then formulate a digital framework and standards for the development of Hong Kong as
a Smart City, as wrongly consisting of Smart Economy, Smart Environment, Smart People, Smart Mobility, Smart Living and
Smart Government..
 In view of this, the Smart City Consortium (SCC) was set up to share our expertise, advice and views in collaboration with other
professional bodies to assist the Government in building a Smart City.

FUTURE SINGAPORE: SMART AND SUSTAINABLE CITY-STATE DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY
 Singapore is in the way to becoming the world’s first smart nation with its Intelligent Nation Masterplan (iN2015), next 10-year
smart nation masterplan, focused on developing smart communities driven by intelligence, integration, and innovation and the
government-led by the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA).
 The introduction of several new initiatives, including a new platform that encompasses the necessary infrastructure and
technical architecture is to support a smart nation ecosystem.
 Smart Nation Platform (SNP) as built on three focus areas-- Connect, Collect, and Comprehend—it will provide an operating
system that all public agencies can connect to, thus enabling urban data, captured and collected via communication networks
and sensors placed around Singapore, to be anonymized, secured, managed, and shared.
 The nationwide broadband network (NBN) and national wireless network Wireless@SG, the backbone infrastructure to support
big data and analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and other transformational ICM technologies, all is to support a smart nation
blueprint.
 Key part of the Smart Nation Masterplan is the Ministry of National Development (MND) Vision and Mission:
 VISION
 An Endearing Home, a Distinctive Global City, a global city of knowledge, culture and excellence

WHERE THE GLOBAL CITY OF PARIS IS HEADING TO:
SMART AND SUSTAINABLE PARIS
 The definition of Smart and Sustainable
Paris is based on:
 Urban Challenges: urbanization, dwindling
natural resources, ecology and climate
change; energy, revegetation, water, urban
agriculture, food, transport, logistics,
waste and climatic, technological and
security emergencies;
 Digital and Technological Opportunities:
ICT, the Internet and social networks; in
transportation, production and
consumption, resource management,
public space management and planning,
public services and government;
 Response to Social Demands: collective
intelligence economy of inclusive type;
better living conditions and well-being,
social ties development, smart
infrastructure, citizen participation, digital
inclusion, the quality of life.
 Smart and Sustainable Paris combines,
mutualize, catalizes 3 city models:
 Connected City (digital services, user
relation, e-inclusion, infrastructure, platform;
represent the technological basis,
innovating tools provided by digital
technology);
 Open City (open innovation, participation,
transparency and ecosystem; place humans
at the heart of the system);
 Ingenious City (resilience, energy and
networks, urbanism, mobility, circular
economy and revegetation; respond to
pressing economic, social and
environmental needs).
 It is all developed through the smart and
sustainable city projects to be developed by 2020
and beyond, as cited in
 Smart and Sustainable Paris, a View of 2020 and Beyond

WHERE THE GLOBAL CITY OF LONDON IS HEADING TO:
SMART LONDON PLAN
 To meet the present urban problems, as diseconomies of high agglomeration, and future global city
challenges, in March 2013, the former Mayor set up the Smart London Board to …ensure London maintains
its position as “the best big city in the world” by using digital technology.
 The “Smart London Plan” of the Smart London Board and the Greater London Authority has been published,
“welcoming your feedback, your ideas and your collaboration - whether you are a business, investor,
university, resident or global city”.
 London makes a spectacular example of global city going to become smart, sustainable and inclusive.
 As one of the largest European cities, London is expecting 9.8 million citizens by 2030. Currently, the
administrative city of London, the de jure city, has a population of 7.4 million, whereas its de facto city,
making a complex urban system of nearby towns and communities, is already expending far beyond. Its so-
called monocentric Morphological Urban Area, depicting the continuity of the built-up space, holds 8.3 million
and its Functional Urban Area, described by the labor market basin and the mobility patterns of commuters,
has 13.7 million residents (see European Union Regional Policy 2011 “Cities of Tomorrow: challenges,
visions, ways forward”).
 In all, the Smart London Plan will be a live document” if only London government (City Hall and 33 boroughs)
is to adopt an integrated Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Capital vision, strategy and policy to intelligently
guide the London’s future growth, synergizing different policy areas sitting in ‘silos’, across the GLA Group,
boroughs and wider service providers.
 It is critical to stress that if London government is to adopt a proposed holistic model of future growth, it can
play a leading role in the well-being not only of their own inhabitants, but also of the surrounding small and
medium-sized cities and rural populations to avoid harmful rural depopulation and urban drift, and thus
forming a balanced national development as Smart Britain.

SMART DUBAI: BUILDING “THE HAPPIEST CITY IN THE WORLD”
 By 2017 Dubai aims to transform into the world’s smartest city, driving unparalleled quality of
live, and using smart technology across 4 pillars and 6 dimensions, 100 initiatives and 1000
smart services:
 Efficient (optimized use of city resources)
 Safe (anticipate risks, protect people and information)
 Seamless (Integrated daily life services)
 Impactful (enriched life and business experiences for all)
 Dimensions
 Economy (Economic Infrastructure, Entrepreneurship, International Exposure, Productivity)
 Governance (Governance, Promotion and Inclusion, Smart Government)
 Environment (Energy, Environmental Conditions, Sustainability, Water & Waste)
 Living (Education, Healthcare, Housing, Public Realm, Safety & Security)
 Mobility (Road Infrastructure, Sustainable Mobility, Traffic Management, Transportation)
 People (Public Education, Public Participation)
 ICT Infrastructure (Central Monitoring, Connectivity & Access, Data Orchestration, Sensing,
Services and Apps)
 The Process: Current State, Global Benchmark, Blueprint, Future Dubai, Roadmap, Smartest
City. Smart Dubai [Happiness as a key Driver of a Smarter City/Prepared by Xische & Co]

SMART AND SUSTAINABLE MEGACITIES IN LATIN
AMERICA
 To be recognized as smart and sustainable, a city should be able to provide
 better employment opportunities and healthcare facilities,
 better options for education,
 better services, social inclusion and civic benefits,
 without putting an irreversible burden on the environment and its natural resources.
 A city can only be smart and sustainable if it is shaped to be economically, socially,
environmentally and technologically sound.
 The Smart and Sustainable Cities Forum provides an open platform for knowledge transfer to
discuss the key attributes that define Smart Sustainable Cities (SSC) taking into account the
different perspectives of the key stakeholders involved.
 Focus was placed on expanding Latin American megacities.

CASE OF “SMART LONDON”
 To create “one of the best global cities”, as in the case of Smart London Plan, the following conditions are to be met.
 The Plan is certainly in need of reworking to meet its promises: “for the first time London is leading with a coherent, holistic
and highly ambitious plan that will put London in pole position… maintain our position as a world-class city into the future”.
 The Board is recommended to follow a broad and inclusive Sustainable Smart City concept instead of: “…how cities across the
globe are sharing information and making use of technology to work more efficiently”, for “Smart London” is foreseen as “how
the capital as a whole functions as a result of the interplay between its ‘systems’- from local labor markets to financial
markets, from local government to education, healthcare, transportation and utilities”.
 Londoners deserves all-sustainable growth strategy, as far as London positioned as “one of the greatest cities on earth”: a
world centre of commerce and culture; diverse, connected, international and cosmopolitan; with strengths in creativity and
design, science and technology, banking and finance, and competitive and productive business environment; a centre of
knowledge production, invention and entrepreneurship,… a world leader in healthcare delivery, a global technology hub, etc.
(Smart London Plan, Smart London Board, 2014).
 The London riots demonstrated that London is a socially exclusive global city, with massive youth unemployment, marked by
deep political and social instability and economic inequality. It is running major cities instabilities: economic, environmental,
geopolitical, societal or technological, including the risks of extreme weather events, failure/shortfall of critical infrastructure,
massive incident of data fraud/theft, or large-scale terrorist attacks, as in New York, Moscow and recently Paris.
 The scope of global city planning and urban renewal should be defined by the Sustainable Smart City Concept, integrating
social, political, economic, technological, territorial and ecological sustainability.
 If it’s framed in terms of the smart technologies and digital platforms, then one has merely “information-rich and
interconnected city”, where “the smart city is a means to achieve a vision rather than the vision itself”(see “DELIVERING THE
SMART CITY: Governing Cities in the Digital Age”; Arup, Livable Cities, UCL, Smart City Expo, 2014).
 In all, “the best global city” is to be framed in terms of holistic urban innovation based around smart ecological intelligent
cities, then one reaches the true city of the future incorporating philosophical, social, political, economic, technological and
ecological ideals about a sustainable way of urban life, as a future urban civilization of smart eco living and socially prosperous
society.

FUTURE INTELLIGENT CITY: SMART CLOUD PLATFORM + INTERNET OF EVERYTHING
The Smart Cloud Platform (IBM or Cisco Powered) www.ibm.com/smartcloud
The Urban Internet of Everything is the cloud-networked connection of people,
processes, data, and things.
PEOPLE (PERSON,ORGANIZATIONS)
PROCESS (ACTIVITIES, SERVICES)
DATA (INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE)
THINGS (BUILDINGS, MACHINES, DEVICES)
The i-City Operation Center is connected with thousands of sensors and
cameras spread throughout the cities, as the city brain of the UrbanIoE, in
which M2M technologies are vital to present intelligent data analytics for core
systems and urban processes.
Smart City “X” Intelligent Platform is to integrate a technology-centric (smart)
level, an intelligent (people-centric) level, and eco-sustainable level improving
the Urban Economy, Community Integration, Quality of Life, and overall
Sustainability.

GREEN CITY: “PERMEABLE LATTICE CITY”, OR "CITY COLUMNS"
 WOHA participated as a jury member for the design competition
in the Vertical Cities Asia program organized in 2011 by the
National University of Singapore (NUS) and contributed a paper
on designing high-rise, high-density developments in
tropical/sub-tropical regions. Based on the competition brief
specifying a population density of 100,000 people within a
1km2 site, WOHA compared the city-center densities of
Manhattan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Their study
demonstrated it would take the equivalent of 4 stacks of
Manhattan, 4 stacks of Hong Kong’s central district, or 9 stacks
of Singapore’s CBD to achieve a population density of 100,000
people on each 1km2 site.
 By devising a 1 km2 city grid with a population density of
111,111 people, WOHA envisioned a vertical ‘Permeable Lattice
City’ that uses modules of The Met as ‘City Columns’. Arranged
in a staggered alignment to create a high degree of perforation
and porosity, the towers create cross-ventilated breezeways that
ensure that fresh air and natural daylight reach every part of the
inner city. These ‘City Columns’ free the real ground level for
nature reserves and heavy industries and are held together
structurally by a network of ‘City Conduits’ that serve as ‘Multiple
Ground Levels’.
 As with communal spaces of SkyVille @ Dawson, the towers are
woven together socially by layers of parks and gardens. ‘City
Community Spaces’ are connected vertically by multi-cabin lifts
and people-mover systems. The ‘City Columns’ establish a fully
pedestrianized city, entirely negating the need for cars above the
ground level.
 As a basic module, the city grid has the capacity to extend
seamlessly and endlessly in any direction. with ‘Topographic
Architecture’ of vertical ‘Screens of Green’, ‘Sky Gardens’ and
‘Sky Parks’ for a super-dense vertical city, sustainable and
livable, without compromising on the quality of life.

A GLOBAL WORLD OF GLOBAL CITIES: GLOBAL
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT NEEDS
 The world is rapidly changing. All we know about it, globalization, society, economy, politics, governance,
science, technology, production, job, work, trade, infrastructure, wealth, poverty, community, is becoming
rapidly obsolete.
 A new world is rising, a global world driven by digital technologies, information systems, knowledge flows,
innovative infrastructure networks and sustainable communities.
 A new generation of urban communities is emerging as innovative, socially-oriented, intelligent,
technological, knowledge-intensive green cities.
 Estimates of needed global infrastructure investment, covering roads and rail, ports and airports, power,
water and telecom, are projected between $57 trillion and $67 trillion, from 2013 to 2030 in 2010 prices.
 This is to support 3.8 percent of global GDP for 18 years, the value of infrastructure stock in most economies
about 70% of GDP.
 Increasing the productivity of the global infrastructure investment, as intelligent transportation systems,
could save up to 1 trillion a year. [Infrastructure Productivity: How to Save $1 trillion a year. McKinsey Global
Institute] http://www.mckinsey.com/industries/infrastructure/our-insights/infrastructure-productivity
 Over the next 13 years, 600 cities will account for nearly 65 percent of global GDP growth of which some are
to contribute to the largest number of children or elderly to the world’s population.
 Only a selected set of global cities, as intelligent agglomerations, implementing a sustainable (smart social
eco) city strategy will rank among the top 25 cities by 2030.
 To explore the cities and emerging urban clusters that will drive dramatic growth and demographic changes
over the next generation, try the interactive global map of the global cities of the future.

“SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE A SMART CITY”:
SMART CITIES GLOBAL INITIATIVE
 “Are you on the right track to become a Smart City? It is said that the future of the world will be decided by the quality of its
cities, and it is expected that by 2020 over 40 urban areas will turn into Smart Cities.
 However, the Smart Cities Global Initiative is concerned about the large variety of narrow technical visions, models and
approaches in which on many occasions “the push towards smart cities is being led by the wrong people –
technology companies with naïve visions and short term commercial goals–, while the architects, planners and scientists often
struggle to share their specific knowledge”.
 That is why this initiative is looking for megacities, municipalities, communities or brand new cities that are following a smart
community development strategy aiming to unify all the city systems, services, operations, activities, departments and
agencies as a sustainable smart urban ecosystem.
 The applications have to provide evidence that the city has potential capacity to take profit of the intelligent resources offered
through the Smart Cities Global Initiative. They also have to prove that their transformation into a Smart City has a strong
leadership and that it has strong intentions to invest intelligent and financial capital into smart and sustainable urban
development.
 The selected urban entities will be provided with intelligent property investment as well as sustainable city exclusive education
and training.
 You can submit your applications via e-mail to Executive Manager of EIS Smart City Global Initiative,
at smartcity@cytanet.com.cy. For further information on the Smart Cities Global Initiative, consult the online brief guide.”

“BECOME A SMART NATION TO BUILD YOUR BRAND NAME:
SUSTAINABLE NATIONS GLOBAL INITIATIVE
 “Have you thought about intelligent global branding? Nowadays, not only companies compete to stand out,
but also countries have to struggle for businesses, tourists or international events.
 These days, there are 195 independent sovereign states, 60 independent areas and 5 disputed territories
and the world is looking for a radical transformation in all ways.
 In this context, every nation has its own brand which represents its international image, the way in which it is
globally perceived. Intelligent global branding results in attracting investment, facilitating trade and creating
internal pride.
 The Smart Nations Global Initiative is concerned with the inequality of modern states. For this reason, its
main objective is to foster the transition to smart, resilient and inclusive nations.
 This initiative aims to become the key driver of an instrumented, interconnected, intelligent, inclusive and
innovative world of the future.
 If you are committed to contribute to the sustainable development of your nation, country or state, you can
submit your applications via e-mail to Dr. Azamat Abdoullaev, Director of EIS Smart Nation Global Initiative,
