This document discusses smart cities and provides examples of smart city initiatives. It defines a smart city as one that uses technology and data to improve quality of life, reduce environmental impact, and decrease energy demand. It outlines six dimensions of smart cities: smart economy, smart people, smart governance, smart mobility, smart environment, and smart living. Examples of smart city projects in Amsterdam and Stockholm are described. The document also discusses how information and communication technologies can be applied in areas like smart street lighting, traffic management, and interactive bus stops. It suggests some possibilities for smart city initiatives in Nepal, like using sensors to manage street lighting and renewable energy sources.

2. What comes in our mind,
when we think about A
CITY??

3. Buildings..
Vehicles…. Schools, Colleges
Business.. Industries…

4. let’s look at «CITY » in a slightly
WAY

5. CITY
TRANSPORT
BUSINESS
SERVICES
EDUCATION
A System, made out of many other systems

6. CITY

Connect all the
aspects using the
emerging new
Information And
Communication
Technologies, and
We get a system
that’s not only
functioning well but

7. A city within a city

8. Growing urbanization
Between 2010 and
2050, the number of
people living in cities
will increase from 3.6
billion to 6.3 billion. By
2025 there will be 37
megacities, each with a
population greater than
10 million; 22 of those
cities will be in Asia.

9. So, then what’s a Smart City?
A Smart City is the City which uses
information combined with technology to
improved quality of life, reduce
environmental impact, and decrease
energy demand.

10. The six dimensions of a Smart City

11. Smart economy (competitiveness)
• Innovative spirit
• Entrepreneurship
• Economic image and trademarks
• Productivity
• Flexibility of labour market
• International embeddedness
• Ability to transform

12. Smart people (social and human
capital)
• Level of qualification
• Affinity to life long learning
• Social and ethnic plurality
• Flexibility
• Creativity
• Cosmopolitanism/ open- mindedness
• Participation in public life

13. Smart Governance
• Participation in decision- making
• Public and social services
• Transparent governance
• Political strategies and perspectives

14. Smart mobility
• Local accessibility
• (inter-) national
accessibility
• Availability of ICT-
infrastructure
• Sustainable, innovative
and safe transport
systems

15. Smart environment
• Attraction of natural conditions
• Pollution
• Environmental protection
• Sustainable resource management

16. Smart living
• Cultural facilities
• Health conditions
• Individual safety
• Housing quality
• Education facilities
• Touristic attraction
• Social cohesion

18. Top Ten smart cities in the world
• San Francisco
• Amsterdam
• Tokyo
• Xinjiang
• Seattle
•Copenhagen
•Stockholm
•Vienna
•New York
•Santiago

19. Companies now working on developing and designing
Smart Cities
• Alvarion
• Atos
• Capgemini
• Cisco Systems
• Deutsche Telekom
• Echelon Corp.
• IBM
• Libelium
• Living PlanIT
• Microsoft
• Panasonic Corp.
• Schneider Electric
• Siemens AG
• Urbiotica

20. CASE STUDY
AMSTERDAM,NETHERLANDS
• Characteristics
 Collaboration
 Community approach
 Energy saving
 Shopping street
• Target
– Energy efficiency
– CO2 reduction
– Behavioral change
– Blue print
Location
Utrechtsestraat, Amsterdam

21. CASE STUDY
STOCKHOLM,SWEDEN
“Europe’s Green Capital of 2010”
Characteristics
– Clean and green environment
– Excellent transportation network
– Recycling and waste management

22. Uses of ICT in building smart cities
• Smart lights and sensors
for street lightning
In UK,400 LED lights are
connected to servers that register
changes in the levels of sunlight
in order to adjust brightness from
midnight until sunrise. This helps
reduce the city’s energy
consumption by 40%.
• Intelligent dynamic
traffic management
A team from the Polytechnic
University of Catalunya (UPC) has
developed In4Mo. This system is
not only capable of detecting the
density of traffic and vehicle
speed but can also make helpful
predictions about traffic patterns.

23. Continuing..
• An interactive bus stop
terminal
• An E-ink display

24. Possibilities in Nepal
• Street lightning can be managed by using
sensors, and renewable resource can be used
for the power.
• Traffic systems can be made more effective by
using traffic management system
