Smart cities Europe Cristobal Irazoqui Policy & Project Officer DG CNECT European Commission 25 November 2016
What do we understand by Smart Cities? • Smart cities should be regarded as systems of people interacting with and using flows of energy, materials, services and financing to catalyse sustainable economic development, resilience, and high quality of life; these flows and interactions become smart through making strategic use of information and communication infrastructure and services in a process of transparent urban planning and management that is responsive to the social and economic needs of society.
EU and Smart Cities Committe Cities of the EU Policy Regions Research Covenant of Mayors Action Plan: EIP -SEAPs (Sustainable Energy Action Plans submitted under the 2020 Covenant) and Urban agenda -SECAPs (Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans to be submitted under the 2030 Covenant)

EU Urban Agenda Why is the urban dimension so important? • 70% EU citizens live in cities • 85% EU GDP generated in cities • 70% EU legislation implemented in cities • 55% EU funds spent in cities • 7/10 Juncker priorities have urban dimension
EU Urban Agenda The EU Urban Agenda should help cities to improve the implementation of EU and national policies on the ground, by strengthening cooperation between Commission services and by planning and implementing concrete actions at EU, national, regional and city level.
EIP-SCC European Innovation Partnership Smart Cities & Communities
Strategic orientations for Smart Cities 2012: Integrated approach to complement sector policies Transport o Focus on the intersection of Energy & Mobility Energy, Transport and ICT o Roll-out of mature innovative technologies at large scale ICT o Serving energy and climate policy 2015: preliminary ideas o Integrate energy, transport, water, waste and ICT infrastructure o Innovation driven process o An integral part of the Urban Agenda Early 2016: an up-dated Smart Cities Agenda
Context: the EIP-SCC European Innovation Partnership for Smart Cities & Communities Citizen Focus +4,300 partners Business Integrated Models Planning / 370 commitments Policy & Regulations 31 countries Deliver: scale, acceleration, & impact,... 6 Action Clusters Integrated Sustainable Infrastructu Districts & res and Built Processes Sustainable Environment Urban Mobility 13
Open Urban Platform – Berlin May 2015
The Urban Platform Initiative within the overall EIP Context Urban Platform • Core building block by which cities: (i) better manage the current explosion in volume of city data, and (ii) more easily share data between city services, to improve outcomes for the society 1. 2. Bring together EU Industry to Demand- Supply- adopt common open solutions Side Side Define common requirements and speed adoption 3. Standards Formalise the capture of the core content as international standards By 2018, create a strong EU city market for Urban Platforms By 2025, ensure that 300 mil. residents of EU cities are supported by Urban Platform(s) to manage their business with a city and that the city in turn drives efficiencies, insight and local innovation through the platform(s) 15
Demand side
A practical example
Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs) - The goal of CITYkeys is to provide a validated, holistic performance measurement framework for monitoring and comparing the implementation of Smart City solutions, with the objective of speeding up the transition to low carbon, resource-efficient cities. - Selection of indicators made by European cities , to fit the needs of European cities and being tested by European Cities with actual datasets.

INTEGRATION TRIANGULUM MOBILITY • Increase utilisation levels of electric ENERGY vehicles and charging infrastructure • Reduce energy consumption of (e-cars, e-bikes, e-buses) buildings (>100,000 m²) by factor 3 or higher • > 75% of remaining energy Energy Mobility INTEGRATION from renewable sources. on local level SCC • Participatory approach to involve citizens ICT ICT • provide a ‘test bed’ for • Integration of intelligent energy industrial partners to develop management for energy efficiency new business models • Development of a dynamic ICT data • drive forward investments across hub: buildings´ energy use, users´ the light house cities mobility demand, provision of RE to monitor • design and implement innovative to develop value added services business models and smart city appliances 23

EFSI Status 27
Things to know about combining EFSI with ESIF • Respective eligibility criteria must be adhered to and there must be no double financing of the same expenditure items • Separate records have to be maintained between the support from an ESIF programme and from EFSI • State aid rules will apply to the ESIF contribution but State aid considerations do not apply to the EFSI backed EIB intervention • EFSI support to a project cannot count as national co-financing for ESIF • Combining EFSI with ESIF is possible: • at project level • for individual financial instruments • through investment platforms #ficompass
