This document discusses the Connected Smart Cities Network workshop held in 2011. It covers big challenges facing cities like climate change and sustainable development. It discusses how smart cities and open innovation can help address these issues through collaborations between citizens, developers, and governments. Living labs are presented as a method for co-creating solutions through user-driven research and innovation. The emergence of networks like the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) aims to foster such collaborations across cities.

4. Why the attention?
• Because
open
innova-on
and
smart
ci-es
emerge
as
a
focal
cross-­‐cu6ng
theme
and
strategy
in
present
discussions
about
the
Future
Internet,
Living
Labs,
and
Innova-on
and
Compe--veness-­‐
driven
(Urban)
Development.
• We
need
to
beEer
understand
the
challenges
and
the
pathways
to
the
‘smart-­‐er
city’
in
the
context
of
what
Europeans
have
entrusted
collec-vely
in
their
‘smart
ci-es’
outlook
• Respond
to
the
quest
of
the
research
and
academic
communi-es
to
iden-fy
the
defining
components,
cri-cal
insights
and
ins-tu-onal
means
to
create
Smart
Ci-es

5. EU Smart Cities Innovation Policies
• It
is
in
the
heart
of
i2010–role
of
end-­‐users
in
the
Digital
Society
in
sustaining
services,
applica-ons
and
content
genera-on
for
scalability
and
mass-­‐market
• Bringing
together
Future
Internet
technologies
with
Living
Labs
methodologies
and
prac-ces
as
a
viable
way
forward
• “2020
Strategy”
emphasizes
smart,
sustainable
and
inclusive
growth;
innova-on
is
where
progress
is
mostly
needed
• Other
EU
programmes
-­‐Lisbon
and

call
for
using
all
urban
poten-als
to
address
all
dimensions
of
SD
at
the
same

and
with
the
same
weight
through
innova-on.

6. Dimension of Smart Cities Open Innovation
• In
developing
collabora-ve
processes
between
local
‘smart
ci-zens’,
government
and
developer
communi-es
• In
offering
a
new
way
for
ci-zens
to
share
not
just
in
the
design
but
also
in
the
delivery
of
services
and
contribute
their
own
wisdom
and
experience
in
ways
that
can
broaden
and
strengthen
services
and
make
them
more
effec-ve
• In
providing
a
viable
agenda
for
a
smart
city
system

7. Smart Cities emerging trends
• Social
interac;on
is
in
the
heart
of
the
smart
city
model,
in
which
the
infrastructures
and
services
are
jointly
and
dynamically
discovered,
invoked
and
composed
by
providers
and
users
alike.
• Crea;ng
open
‘digital
ci;zen-­‐developer’
communi;es
and
establishing
private-­‐public-­‐people
partnerships
(PPPPs)
to
find
dynamic
and
imagina-ve
ways
to
interact
and
create,
drawing
inspira-on
and
experience
from
open
innova-on
and
sustainable
urban
development.
• Deploying
convergent
Future
Internet
plaLorms
and
services
for
the
promo-on
of
sustainable
life
and
work
styles
in
and
across
emergent
networks
of
‘smart’
ci-es.
• Crea;ng
Smart
Open
Innova;on
Urban
Ecosystems
–specific
urban
se6ngs
or
innova-on
playgrounds
which
combine
innova-on
and
social
and
commercial
ac-vi-es
to
enable
open
innova-on
and
showcase
the
benefits
for
locali-es
of
growing
smarter
and
more
sustainable.
• Building
new
collabora;ons
and
networks
so
ci-es
can
understand
innova-on,
innovators
understand
ci-es,
ci-zens
to
become
effec-vely
engaged
and
users
to
become
content
and
service
producers
and
deliverers.

8. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
• Wicked problems call for diverse types of knowledge, resource,
participation and collaboration.
• Behaviour change requires the motivation of millions of individuals
and their communities; solutions cannot be pushed.
• New, distributed and highly participatory systems imply new roles
for public and private spheres: demand/user/citizen driven open
RDI enabled by ICT.
• Living Labs: open eco-systems engage and motivate
stakeholders, stimulate collaboration, create lead markets and
enable behavior transformation.

9. The Living Labs approach and methodology setting for open
innovation
• As
a
plaXorm
for
implemen-ng
an
open
innova-on
model
to
pilot
different
ini-a-ves
towards
the
Europe
2020
perspec-ve
of
well-­‐being
and
sustainability.
• As
a
user-­‐driven
innova-on
ecosystems
based
on
a
business-­‐ci-zens-­‐government
partnership
to
enable
users
to
take
ac-ve
part
in
the
research,
development
and
innova-on
process
• As
an
ecosystem
in
which
new
products
and
services
are
created,
prototyped
and
used
in
real-­‐-me
environments
• Where
users
are
not
treated
as
object
in
the
innova-on
process
or
as
mere
customers,
but
as
early
stage
contributors
and
innovators

18. Leading to Sustainable Smart Cities
• Virtual connections strengthen human
togetherness and revive local communities and
values
• Empower the neighbourhoods to take ownership of
their local activities and influence decisions that
may affect them
• Connect neighbourhoods and encourage and
facilitate citizen collaboration for common good
• Engage mass participation and drive behaviour
transformation to address the big challenge of our
time

20. Connected Smart Cities Network (2/2)
• Connected Smart Cities Network was launched under the
EU-funded (7th Framework Programme) FIREBALL-project in
Helsinki on November 18th, 2010 by the cities of Amsterdam,
Manchester, Lisbon, Barcelona and Helsinki.
• Aims to establish a collaboration mechanism through
which a network of Smart Cities across Europe engages
in long-term collaboration for adopting User Driven Open
Innovation to explore the opportunities of the Future
Internet and to support cities to innovate in order to tackle
the major societal challenges faced by Europe, such as
sustainable mobility, climate change, energy security or our
ageing population.
• Connected Smart Cities Network in
ENoLL as a Thematic Domain.

21. Conclusions: Smart Cities
• Cities are being transformed by the impact of globalization and rapid
technological evolution. Sustainable Urban Well Being trends are emerging
driven by the direct participation of the citizens. This includes user behaviour
transformation achieved by the participatory environment enabled by the
LivingLabs and implemented by innovative collaborative SMEs.
• Cities are increasingly becoming dynamic Living Environments requiring the
capacity to enable and adapt to fast technological, societal and cultural
changes. Living Lab collaboration methodologies can be the answer to
address these changes and support the engagement and exploitation of
business opportunities by SMEs.
• Sustainable Energy and mobility are important trends of the emerging Well
Being Urban Living Lab Paradigm. Local energy micro-generation,
distribution (Smart Metering/Smart Grid) and storage require new business
models and new policies where innovative SMEs can have a major role in
the experimentation, implementation and exploitation of the new emerging
business enabled by Future Internet, Internet of Things and Social
Innovation.

22. Conclusions: Sustainable Smart Cities
• Sustainable Smart cities are open-innovation
ecosystems where creativity and knowledge co-
creation and sharing naturally flourishes stimulated
and supported by open innovative policies and
future internet environments.
• Networked Sustainable Smart Cities acting as
drivers and enablers of user driven open innovation
will be the platforms for the societal transformations
of the future.
• Future Internet technologies, Living Labs and
Social Innovation enable Sustainable Smart Cities
co-creation where citizens’ sense of belonging and
identity, wellbeing and togetherness, form a better
and happier society.
