SMART CITIES AND MOBILITY

SMART – CITY:A POSSIBLE DEFINITION
Smart Cities can be identified (and ranked) along six main axes or dimensions.
These axes are:
 smart economy;
 smart mobility;
 smart energy & environment;
 smart people;
 smart living;
 smart governance.
These six axes connect with traditional regional and neoclassical theories of urban growth and
development. In particular, the axes are based - respectively - on theories of regional competitiveness,
transport and ICT economics, natural resources, human and social capital, quality of life, and
participation of citizens in the governance of cities.
A city can be defined as ‘smart’ when investments in human and social capital and traditional
(transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic
development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through
participatory governance.

EUROPEAN ENERGY STRATEGY
SET-PLAN
EUROPEAN INITIATIVE ON SMART CITIES
The set plan is a strategic plan to
accelerate the development and
deployment of cost-effective low
carbon technologies. This plan
comprises measures relating to
planning, implementation, resources
and international cooperation in the
field of energy technology.
This Initiative will support cities and regions in taking ambitious
and pioneering measures to progress by 2020 towards a 40%
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable use
and production of energy. This will require systemic approaches
and organizational innovation, encompassing energy efficiency,
low carbon technologies and the smart management of supply
and demand. In particular, measures on buildings, local energy
networks and transport would be the main components of the
Initiative.
Among the specific Objectives in SET PLAN for smart-cities we
would like to cite:
Transport
10 – 20 testing and deployment programmes will be
implemented for low carbon public and individual transport
Sustainable mobility (advanced smart public transport,
intelligent traffic management and congestion avoidance,
demand management, information and communication, ….).
Buildings refurbishment
Smart energy management systems
Smart lighting (in particular solid state lighting for street and
indoor), equipment (e.g. motor systems)

Short History
The Smart Cities Initiative was proposed and added
to the other 6 European Industrial Initiatives of the
SET Plan at the request of the European Parliament
and Council;
It is part of the Communication on investing in the
development of low carbon technologies adopted by
the Commission in 2009 and endorsed by the
Council and Parliament in 2010;
It aims to bring the cities at forefront of deployment of
low carbon technologies, to accelerate the market
uptake of the energy efficiency, renewable energy
source and energy networks technologies;
The Smart Cities Initiative will focus on facilitating the
deployment of low carbon technologies by combining
technologies and intelligence, by integrating the use
low carbon technologies with local needs and
functions while ensuring an impact on increased
energy efficiency and environment;
60% of EU population lives in urban
areas of over 50,000 inhabitants (80% in
urban contexts) Europe is characterized
by a unique polycentric structure of large,
midsize and small cities (apart from Paris
and London)
European cities encompass significant
disparities in economic and social
opportunities, either spatially between
neighborhoods or socially between
different groups of population
Cities consume 75% of the world’s
natural resources and produce 75% of its
waste
It will build on the work and knowledge gained from
EU funded programmes, such as CONCERTO (22
projects involving 58 European communities), and
the Public Private-Partnership in Energy Efficiency in
Buildings ("E2B") CIVITAS & URBAN.

SMART MOBILITY AXIS
CONSIDERATIONS ON MOBILITY TECHNOLOGIES
Smart Cities Initiative objective is to have a “visible impact” in low
carbon technologies deployment over the period 2010-2020.
The target seems to be “demonstrative research” since the stress
is on technology deployment (maybe a similar approach to Green
Cars Initiative demonstration fleet)
The time frame of conventional 7FP project is 4-5 years maximum,
therefore the needs of measurable results will require the
deployment of market ready technologies
Electric mobility could not be the only solution (even if it is
strategic), other technologies should be included in the projects (e.g.
CNG, Blend, Poly fuel technologies like tetrafuel,…)
Integration Mobility-Infrastructure will must be considered

Smart-cities to be realistic must take into account car-makers vision
Increase the efficiency of the internal
combustion engine
Realize the
infrastructure
Replace the energy vector and the energy
sources
Incentives, Public
Procurement
Increase the portion of carbon-neutral content
of liquid fuels (bio-fuels)
Policy
(e.g.incentives) and
Business Models
(e.g. Car Sharing)
Reduce the energy needed by the vehicle
during operation
ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY “PART OF THE SOLUTION”
ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL BE PART OF THE SOLUTION BUT THE
TARGET -40% CO2 REDUCTION REQUIRES SOMETHING MORE ...

Electromobility: longer term options to overcome the
range limitation
The solution is probably not a further technological evolution of storage
systems, but a development of appropriate infrastructures to override
weight and cost limits.
Quick-fast charge infrastructure
high power recharging units able to recharge up to 80% of
the battery State of Charge in not more then 30 minutes
(today) - 5 minutes (tomorrow)
Battery swap
complete battery system substitution in 2-3 minutes using
robotised systems located in the future recharging
stations (standardisation needed)
Electrified road lines (charge while driving)
electric supply systems applied in the main roads to
continuously transfer electric energy to the vehicles
(safety, reliability, low impact and limited cost)

Turin is part of Covenant of Mayor
The municipality presented (in November 2010) the Turin Action
Plan for Energy (TAPE)
The City presented candidature to become a smart city in series of
press conference
The city is leading a strategic plan in preparation of future Smart
cities calls involving main National and local stakeholders
A first proposal (in partnership with Turin Municipality) has been
submitted by CRF under the last ICT – PSP call. The proposal is
part of Turin Smart cities strategy.
