Smart Cities: The Problem of
Readiness
Technology Readiness Market Readiness Policy Readiness
Smart Cities: 4 Dilemmas
1. Infrastructure Dilemma:
We need public and private investment in platform technologies. But how
to roll out platforms without vendor lock-in
2. Information Dilemma:
Many urban issues are information problems. But information is trapped in
silos
3. Innovation Dilemma:
Smart Cities are a fast moving field. But how to ensure continuous
innovation
4. Integration Dilemma:
Smart Cities can only work if there is buy-in and integration across
stakeholders. But how to Sync Technology, Market and Policy Readiness

Role of Innovation
Intermediaries
• Systemic Innovation is
plagued by Systemic
Failures
• Innovation-driven
Intermediaries are n°1
solution
• iMinds Local Living Lab
Approach
• Link with European Level
crucial
EXAMPLE: ECIM (BRUSSELS)
ECIM: Challenges
• Develop integral solution for planning city mobility
• >< Jungle of applications for end-users
• Develop easy common payment methods
• >< Various accounts and bills, difficult overview
• Develop integral solution across cities
• >< ‘Tunnel’ development between different cities

Editor's Notes

  • #4: So should not be surprising that what we are seeing right now is an all-out battle for controlling the basic elements which will determine the architecture of Smart environments I did not invent this term; it was used by the main Smart City strategist of a major multinational ICT firm, at a strategic offsite meeting where I was invited some time ago. Choices we make are crucial for the 20 years to come
  • #7: Conclusion, from my experience, and to ensure the battle for the streets has a positive outcome, 4 ingredients absolutely crucial
  • #11: Explanation of colours used: primary colours (blue, red and yellow) combined gives secundaire colours (green, purple and black): blue and yellow gives green; red and blue gives purple, blue, red and yellow gives gives black (here very dark blue)
  • #17: At the end of the day, it is not only about technology, it’s about people; about making Open Minds create Smart Cities
