b) Differences between cities

§  While the basic platform could be similar, the “use case”, actions and priorities should be adapted to your city

Historical city Many suburbs?

Young city: City planning (traffic, parking, …)

Recent infrastructure (networks, …) Recent buildings (energy prestation, …)

Where in the process?

Priority  domains  are  set  Initial  Audits  performed  Objectives  and  future  vision  Regular  Monitoring  Realtime  Monitoring  Citizen  involvement  Eco-­‐system  action!    

Density of people? Density of cars?

Open land? % green inside core city

Demographics?

Cross-city dependency Water mgmt

Industry?

c) Indirect business models

Situation today §  Investments from city, regional, european governments to setup smart city concepts §  Commercial Sponsorships in return for “product testing” and visibility §  What about the running/operational costs for large scale services? Should cities invest in a Smart City platform just like they used to invest in new road infrastructure (metro lines, …)? And bear all the costs? Cost drivers: internet connectivity, data, services, reach-out §  Indirect Business models should leverage:

§  Low-cost city-wide Connectivity §  Free data, cheap convenience apps §  Free data, advertisements inside apps §  Free data, city-sponsored apps

c) Indirect business models

OPEN PLATFORM

OPEN DATA CONNECTIVITY OPEN

INTERFACES Profitable

APPs

Costs from technological perspective

Should we consider “premium” models? Should we consider peer-to-peer fairness models?

“Information is the currency of the future”

? Expensive
