i-CANADA is a nation of Intelligent Communities large and small, central and remote, all enjoying the

economic development, job growth and social prosperity now available in the worlds leading Intelligent

Communities or Smart Cities. I-CANADA is expanding upon Canadas Islands of Excellence like Calgary,

Fredericton, Moncton, Stratford, Waterloo and Windsor, which have all been recognized for excellence by the

Global Intelligent Community Forum.

A focus on communities is vital, because more than half of the worlds people are urban-dwellers today. It

seems common for us, yet city-dwelling is a radical transformation for humanity. While there was only a one-

in-ten chance that your grandparents would have lived in a city, the odds are more than three-in-one that

your children will live in a city.

Communities are an increasingly strong vortex of

attraction. We are adding a major city the size of New

York to the planet almost every month. Some 500 million

people are in the process of urbanizing at this moment.Cities consume 75% of the worlds energy and produce

85% of the worlds greenhouse gases. The fact of

urbanization is the central transforming event of our

lifetime.

How civic leaders cope with the influx of people and deal

with issues such as infrastructure, new ultra broadband

communications and information technologies, health

care, security and commerce, is a major concern today. At

the same time, opportunities abound as these leaders

transform their communities through the application of

evolving computer and communications technologies.

Copenhagen has smart energy, Kyoto has smart

government, Stockholm has smart traffic, Zurich has smart

healthcare, New York has smart crime fighting... The fact

that these cities have locked onto is that the rate of

innovation in a community increases as the social and

physical networking increase. And innovation is the key

to sustainable prosperity.

i-CanadaCreating an Intelligent Nation, Community By Community

While many textbooks describe the benefits of

Creative Cities, Digital Cities, Smart Cities, and

Intelligent Communities, the real challenge faced by

our community leaders is how to mobilize the

community to pursue these benefits in an organized

and systematic manner that effectively communicates

to all citizens the goals, benefits and processes involved

in the transformation.

Smart Valley, (in Silicon Valley) and Intelligent

Island, (in Singapore) were early 90s versions of Smart

and Intelligent Communities. We now have twenty

years of lessons learned and the benefits gained from

these early communities along with hundreds of others

who have transformed themselves to achieve the

economic, environmental and social benefits available

through the effective application of new computing and

ultra broadband technologies

The challenge for many communities is to find a

framework and set of processes that will guide them

through their transformation -- a transformation

achievable through the i-Canada process.

The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) of New York has defined an Intelligent Community as those

communities that have taken conscious steps to create an economy that prospers through the use of

Broadband. The annual ICF competition for Intelligent Community of the Year and receives over 300

nominations annually from communities large and small from around the world. Each year the ICF narrows

down the nominations to the Top Seven and some communities have been in the Top 7 category for a few

years before achieving Intelligent Community of the year. Forty different communities have been named to

the Top Seven since 2002. Eleven of them have populations over one million people while 29 are under one

million, thus demonstrating the opportunity for communities of all size.

Stockholm, Taipei, Glasgow, Singapore and Waterloo, Canada are a few of those who have won the Intelligent

Community of the Year award as they transformed their communities through economic, social and

environmental initiatives and created new economic growth and social prosperity for all citizens.

The i-CANADA Program is supported by a proven open architecture model and a complete set of

frameworks, templates, benchmarks and measurements to help communities recognize the opportunities

and manage the transition to an Intelligent Community as defined by the Intelligent Community Forum.

The design of the Program is based on twenty years of experience in building Intelligent Communities and

i-CANADAs with i-CANADA and other international initiatives.

The Intelligent Community Open Architecture Model: i-COA is a proven Framework with

many connected elements. It is not just about constructing great buildings, (Layer 1) or

creating a new traffic solution, (Layer 4). New ultra broadband is required, (Layer 2) and so

are new innovation clusters, (Layer 3). Even more important is the interplay between allelements in the model.

Every community has different priorities when transforming to become an Intelligent Community

and all proposed i-Community programs should focus on the communitys inherent skills andadvantages. Some communities like Singapore have a strong manufacturing sector and logistics isimportant to them. Others like Stratford in Canada are building new digital media capacity based

on their heritage as a creative theatrical community. The figure below provides an example ofpossible community goals and projects that could relate to those goals:
