9 Smart City Motivators which are most relevant in Leicester? Resilience Climate change Save earth s resources Pollution (air, water, waste,...) Population increase/urbanisation Environment Sustainability Economics Fuel poverty Transparency Crime prevention Ageing population Improved quality of life Customer-oriented models Population increase/urbanisation Participation in political processes Behavioural change via early information Social equity Transparency Maximise resources Generate economic growth Reducing demand for services Feedback on services provided Embrace technological opportunities Pressure on public spending (reduce costs, achieve efficiency)

10 Smart City: sharing data Why? Understand context Trends across data sources Innovation Creative economy Research opportunity What works best? Usable format (csv not pdf) Location (x,y,z) Metadata: a full description of the data including tags to link Real time!

13 Smart City: integrated solutions LED lighting Also: evehicle/ebike charging Air quality sensors Noise sensors Digital signage Wi-Fi, mobile and mesh? The Humble Lamppost provides an ideal mean for cities to start their smart journey

14 Smart City: integrated solutions Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) Landscape features to combat flooding: Reduce rainfall runoff Harvest rainwater Increase infiltration of water into the ground (slower moving and a valuable resource) Encourage water uptake by plants If runoff reduction is not possible, at least delay runoff 759/suds-guidance-april-2015.pdf Recreational space Health and well being of humans Improved biodiversity Aesthetics Urban cooling (countering the urban heat island effect) Reduced air pollution Noise reduction

15 Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park A Smart Park temperature humidity biodiversity crowd movement emotions

16 Smart City: operating in a interconnected, complex world Can we know what is sustainable?.. Or should we learn to anticipate what might be unsustainable and identify the skills and resources necessary to avoid it? Can a more integrative relationship between research, teaching and practice help with the identification of the knowledge required, and the support of learning, to address this? We need to learn from each other, the past, the present and the future(s)! Prof Mark Lemon (IESD)

17 Smart City: the whole person (Saffron Lane) The research & implementation Local organisations Saffron Resource Centre Multi-disciplinary research Practitioners Community engagement The goal Energy efficient homes Training and work Community Food Production Sustainable waste and water management Etc. srcentre.org.uk
