2 Smart Cities & Communities Günther H. Oettinger EU Commissioner for Energy, Brussels In order to meet the demands of increasing urbanization, municipalities the world over are compelled to expand and revamp their infrastructures from the ground up. Cities and metropolises already account for 70 percent of total energy consumption in the EU. Without a doubt, they have a key role to play in achieving EU goals set for 2020, namely (i) a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, (ii) a 20 percent increase in the share of renewable energy, and (iii) a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency. The time is right for smart cities and communities to develop and deploy sustainable solutions for a clean, safe and affordable energy supply solutions that reduce fuel consumption while creating new markets. There is thus a demand for integrative technologies which make efficient use of energy, help to conserve resources and make economic sense technologies capable of keeping steadily growing urban populations supplied and ensuring competitive urban transportation systems with improved traffic flow and smarter local transport with easier access, greater safety and a new culture of urban mobility, the latter of which must be promoted by means of education, training and heightened awareness. Another important aspect of cities of the future involves information and communication technologies, both as enabling factors and as significant energy consumers whose energy footprint must be kept under control. Furthermore, all of these aspects can derive great benefit from an open data policy, which is becoming increasingly important to innovative cities. Metropolitan Solutions at HANNOVER MESSE 2014 is a major platform for global dialog spanning the public sector, scientific community and industry. Cities and communities compete for investors internationally and face growing challenges in their efforts to achieve greater sustainability and a better quality of life. Reliable infrastructure and attractive community services are at the center of these efforts. Once a year, representatives of cities, planners and technology providers meet in Hannover to present and discuss innovative solutions and best practices. Two years ago, I initiated the European Innovations Partnership Smart Cities & Communities with my colleagues Vice-President Siim Kallas, the EU Commissioner for Transport, and Vice-President Neelie Kroes, the EU Commissioner for the Digital Agenda. It is intended to foster public-private partnerships for the development of smart technologies with substantial EU funding. In cooperation with mayors and representatives of the business world, the initiative aims to support the broad dissemination of innovative technologies in the areas of mobility management and the generation, distribution and consumption of energy, as well as information and communication technology (ICT). With the involvement of key representatives from industry, cities and 2 3

3 research institutes, the Innovations Partnership has carried out a comprehensive analysis of the situation in the energy, transport and ICT sectors to ensure that the most urgent challenges and the ones promising the greatest success are addressed first. It has drafted an implementation plan based on this analysis, which was officially approved by the Innovation Partnership s high-ranking management group in October This strategic implementation plan leads directly to specific statements of obligations, which will be brought together early next year by an official call for commitments. As the EU Commissioner for Energy, I am happy to assume the patronage of this year s Metropolitan Solutions, and I hope all the participants have excellent discussions in Hannover. Günther H.

4 ICLEI Global Town Hall Monika Zimmermann Deputy Secretary General ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability Every day, about 180,000 people move into cities. By 2050, more 6.4 billion people will reside in urban areas, as much as the total world population of They will require energy, water, sanitation, housing, mobility, waste management, food, communication and health services ensure a decent quality of life. To achieve this, we need innovative, sustainable resilient and efficient infrastructures. It is imperative that businesses, local governments and experts from science and society are required to jointly find solutions for the future. Their actions today need to set the right course for tomorrow. As the world s leading association of 12 mega-cities, 100 supercities and urban regions, 450 large cities as well as 450 mediumsized cities and towns in 86 countries, ICLEI supports cities and businesses in their search for cooperation partners and facilitates contacts, information exchange and mutual understanding between them. ICLEI s Global Town Hall is the paramount platform for sustainable infrastructure dialogue where local decision makers, entrepreneurs, researchers, experts and citizens can work on synergetic solutions. Cutting-edge market supply of innovative products and services meets the concrete demand of cities. Presentations, panels, dialogue events and the ICLEI Global Town Hall Lounge facilitate networking and discussions geared towards solutions. They will cover even controversial topics, such as procurement regulations as innovation road block, data security risks of smart grids and the (un)necessary degree of standardization for the city of tomorrow. Join us at the ICLEI Global Town Hall to discover unknown challenges, new solution approaches, young leaders and innovative decision makers. Make use of the opportunity to screen solutions and gauge their feasibility and sustainability. Pave the path towards shaping cities of the future with us. Monika Zimmermann 6 7

11 ICLEI Global Town Hall: Core themes 7 11 April 2014 Monday Wednesday Dialogue between Cities and Businesses On neutral ground outside of sales negotiations, cities and businesses can talk and learn together and search for common places to cooperate sustainably. Cities on Water Does climate change adaptation force us to build on water rather than at the water? Dutch experts show how. Tuesday Climate Change and Adaptation Infrastructure investments of today have to meet the conditions of tomorrow. What makes infrastructure decisions adaptive, so that they withstand change and future challenges? Smart Cities What makes a smart city? More technology? More standardization and operational sustainability indicators? Concepts and solutions are needed. Mobility EcoMobility Appearance and character of our cities depend particularly on traffic and transportation infrastructure. Non-motorized public and shared transportation modes will play a central role in the cities of tomorrow. What does that mean for urban infrastructures today and in the future? Sustainable Purchasing Public procurement can drive markets towards sustainability if it uses its enormous economic leverage to create new incentives. How can procurement regulation be used in a way that does not create roadblocks for innovation, but promotes technologic development? Urban Agriculture Urban Agriculture means producing food where demand is the highest: in cities. Modern cities integrate new forms of producing food, be it vertically on walls or by using balconies, roof tops or green spaces. Energy, water and nutrition are used in highly efficient ways, creating new infrastructures

12 ICLEI Global Town Hall: Core themes 7 11 April 2014 Thursday Friday Sustainable Buildings Building above and below ground not only consumes the majority of municipal budgets, they also shape cities and determine the flow of resources in and outside of urban areas. How can we build more sustainably, utilizing mature and low cost innovations available on the market? CO 2 neutral development Urban development is only sustainable if it aims for emission free cities. Which approaches and integrated solutions are available to cities all over the world, today and tomorrow? Nexus The future belongs to synergies and integrated strategies. Energy, water and food production can no longer be planned and implemented separately. But how can these principles be realized? Young Leaders Can young community and business leaders jointly promote innovation and sustainability in new ways? Data Security Smart Cities and Smart Grids are data-hungry systems. Who operates, monitors and saves data on our washing machines and microwave ovens in smart systems and do we want that? 22 23

14 Telematics in municipalities Innovative infrastructure 8 April 2014 Best-practice Prize for Intelligent Traffic Systems and Telematics Applications The topic of mobility is gaining increasing importance in cities and municipalities. State-of-the-art information and communication technology today plays an integral role in traffic control, traffic management, navigation, parking and selecting transport providers. Mobility service providers use the Internet to identify demand and bring together suppliers and users on specially developed platforms. For local authorities wishing to get ahead of the field when it comes to mobility, keeping up to date with the latest developments at all times is a must. 10 April 2014 Successfully implementing future projects in the regions The successful introduction of new infrastructures requires both technological innovations and lasting solutions for problems in the field. Scientific institutes and companies are therefore showcasing possibilities for the launch and development of future infrastructure solutions at the event. These include ideas for integrated infrastructure and land use development from a sustainable land management perspective. Participants have the opportunity to both present their own results and find new project partners.
