Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) aims to define what smart cities are, what their challenges include and investigate which solutions and responses are most relevant while always keeping society and the public at the center of the debate.Smart cities start here The Smart City Expo World Congress is an event that has become the industry leader in smart cities. Its position as the benchmark in its sector gives it enormous convening power. SCEWC 2013 gathered in Barcelona more than 9,000 visitors, 160 companies, 300 cities represented and 3,055 delegates from countries around the world. The World Congress will introduce, debate, and share pioneering ideas and approaches from the most highlighted speakers. The SCEWC is a meeting point for companies, government, entrepreneurs and research centers to show, learn, share, network and gather inspiration to support the development of the cities of the future.Congress The congress program of the SCEWC is composed of 5 keynotes, 6 plenary sessions and 42 breakout sessions. Our keynotes are top leaders from either the academic research world or authors with the most interesting inside views on how the world has developed and how the future will unfold for smart cities. Plenary Sessions are discussion panels focusing on long term policies and strategic analysis and visions, and parallel sessions are structured generally as presentations panels, and they have a more specific focus on projects, solutions or case studies.Where cities meet cities The SCEWC is the meeting point for cities around the world.

They must be an inclusive project for all citizens, bringing them to the center of decision-making in order to make urban and social development more democratic. Cities must be reinvented and transformed so that they become more sustainable, and improve quality of life and economic performance. This should be a shared vision and the way forward for citizens, public and private organizations and multi-stakeholders.Information and inclusion are key assets for the future development of cities. Smartness is how cities take decisions, how cities use their resources, how inclusive and collaborative cities are and if there is technology there, it enables this and makes it better. Smartness is technology enabled but it is not technology driven or technology itself.Cities must foster creativity, innovation, economic development and collaboration. They must be an inclusive project for all their inhabitants, bringing them to the center of decision-making in order to make urban and social development more democratic.

Some of the concepts defining the future of energy are technology, flexibility, resilience, climate adaptation, financial model innovation, empowerment of people and business, and local level development. Energy companies are reinventing themselves from energy suppliers to service suppliers. They are concerned about environmental matters, clean energy technologies and resource scarcity issues.Consumers are in a demanding shift, asking for a new energy model, environmentally and economically sustainable, making better use of local scale and renewable resources, while having a global focus and a strong partnership between governments and companies.The marketplace for wind or solar energy is shifting and reaching the mainstream. Every industry is regulatory and subsidy dependent. Clean energy in short will be able to deliver to local stable energy and subsidies will decline over time, as many of the renewables are able to be paid by themselves.This panel will be discussing the key elements that define the future of energy. What are the main challenges that we face to make renewables a main source in the energy mix? Is renewable energy a mature sector enough? Which initiatives are necessary to propel further energy efficiency in cities? What is the role of subsidies in this two-fold debate? Which technological challenges do we have ahead?SPEAKERSDonald Sadoway - John F. Elliott Professor of Materials Chemistry - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Boston - USA Michael J.

From the outset, cities are a technological system. A city without technology it is not a city. Today’s “smartness” takes a step forward, including information technology, and making information as essential as roads, water or energy supply. This technological revolution is an opportunity of real change in how cities are operated and therefore a possible way forward for economic and social development. How should this new layer of “smartness” be added to the existing reality of cities? What are the management improvements that can be expected? What will the cost be? Why should cities be willing to become “smart”? How would this impact developing cities? What implications does it have in terms of its physical infrastructure? Should cities aim for a common technological vision from all city stakeholders and a shared technological infrastructure?Real time data will become a new urban service like water or electricity and the correct usage of technology has to provide the necessary tools for the cities to be more organized, sustainable, inclusive, innovative and economically successful.We live in the age of information and communication technology.

The current mobility patterns are still very much linked to both of them. Transportation is one of the main sources of CO2 emissions worldwide. Space wise, cars also put a challenge in the urban context, as cities have limited availability of public space to sort out everyone’s mobility needs.With this context, there is an urgent need to shift mobility towards electric, to make better use of all means of transportation, to integrate them, moving forward in the share of resources: vehicles, data, and infrastructures. New data driven technologies are helping to improve all means of transportation, with new solutions for reducing or avoiding congestion, improving parking management, integrating the different means of transport, public and private, individual and collective.How can cities push further the integration of a complex supply side transport infrastructure? How can education play a more active role in promoting a rational use of transport means? How can cities find better ways to finance and operate transport infrastructures?What is the future of mobility of our cities? Is technology going to provide solutions to sort out emissions, oil scarcity and the lack of space within cities to accommodate the use of cars? Is the future of urban mobility for the individual or the collective means, public or private? Is it for the motorized, the non-motorized or the e-mobility?

We need innovative ways to improve cities and to solve issues concerning cities and their citizens, considering a holistic approach. Cities need to integrate geographical planning with architecture, information, communication, technology and networking in long term plans. Cities need to provide better services to citizens by integrating into the equation issues related to quality of life such as waste, energy, equality, sustainable transportation, and technology, among others.The future of urbanization is dependent on not repeating the mistakes that have been made in the urbanization of existing developed cities. For instance, they need far more innovative and sustainable strategies connected to public transportation, density, traffic, employment, education, heritage, entertainment, diversity, and affordability of housing. Cities need significant investments, and therefore it is necessary to put in place an appropriate legal framework that includes external costs.Climate change and world urban population growth is taking the challenge of planning cities to a new level to deliver better places to live. What are the key elements that should be part of the equation? Are we able to cope with population growth through proper city planning and development?

Many challenges for improving life in cities lie within the political domain. Citizens are becoming more demanding while city resources are diminishing.To tackle this challenge, one of the key strategies is collaboration and partnership with citizenship, the private sector, NGOs, academia and other numerous stakeholders. Together they should find ways to build meaningful solutions for people and improve their real lives. Technology has to play a key role in achieving sustainable cities, economic growth, jobs and new forms of public private collaborations in order to provide better services to citizens.Fostering innovation needs a new regulatory framework, and new financial models that allow a better combination of social, economic and environmental values; worldwide standards through which cities can be assessed and exchange experiences and developments; and open data schemes for the development of external networks of entrepreneurs and innovations. Governance, with the help of technology, will make cities smart.In governance terms, working towards the smart city concept means citizens participating more closely in government decisions, governments opening data, and cities integrating innovation. How are cities responding to these challenges, the challenge of developing better cities, improving citizens’ quality of life and generating open and transparent organizations?SPEAKERSMinerva Tantoco - Chief Technology Officer - New York City - New York - USA Anibal Gaviria - Mayor - City of Medellin - Medellin - Colombia Rob bernard - Chief Environmental and Cities Strategist - Microsoft Corporation - Seattle - USA Mark Kleinman - Director, Economic and Business Policy - Greater London Authority - London - UK Antoni Vives - Deputy Mayor - Barcelona City Council - Barcelona - Spain Charbel Aoun - President, Smart Cities Segment - Schneider Electric - London - UK CHAIRStephen Goldsmith - Director, Innovations in American Government program and Data-Smart city solutions - Harvard Kennedy School of Government - Cambridge - USA THE CHALLENGE Of OPEN GOVERNANCE AND INNOVATION NOVEMbER 19th 10:15 – 11:30 ROOM APlenary Sessions GO PL31SMART CITY EXPO WORLD CONGRESSGOVERNANCEGoverning a city in today’s complex, interdependent world demands a pragmatic and flexible approach.
