A message from the Mayor of Barcelona
a note from the world bank group
WELCOME TO
BARCELONA
WELCOME TO
citisense
Dear partners,
As Mayor of Barcelona, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our city on the occasion of the World Bank CitiSense 2013 Conference.
On behalf of the World Bank Group, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the
CitiSense conference.
Barcelona is a city of culture, knowledge, creativity and innovation. As the
Mobile World Capital and a Smart City of reference around the world, we are
becoming an important start-up and technological hub in the south of Europe
and the Mediterranean.
Cities are where development challenges and solutions meet. 6.2 billion people
– or two thirds of the world’s population – will be living in cities by 2050. Cities
hold the key to tackling climate change. They account for about two-thirds of
the world’s energy consumption and about 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. More and more people and assets in cities will be exposed to the forces of
nature, with potentially devastating consequences. Global economic costs from
flooding in cities could increase to up to $1 trillion a year.
This is an on-going process that we are building with the collaboration of public
institutions, private companies and international organizations, like the World
Bank, which help us to lead a global reference model for sustainable urban development and the improvement of people’s wellbeing and quality of life.
I very much hope that your stay in Barcelona allows you to get to know better
all the attractions that have turned our city into one of the most visited in the
world: the Gothic quarter and the beautiful buildings of Modernism, the museums and the festivals, and a popular and creative gastronomy.
I wish you a very fruitful congress and hope that you also enjoy your stay in
Barcelona.
Xavier Trias
Mayor of Barcelona
Our increasingly urban world requires the latest thinking, innovative approaches, and ongoing collaboration. At this conference, together with our partners,
we’ve designed sessions to inspire new ideas and present concrete actions to
make cities hubs of innovation and prosperity which create opportunities for a
better life while fighting climate change.
The World Bank Group is actively working with cities to help them manage the
challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change. The Low-Carbon Livable Cities (LC2) Initiative, launched in September by President Jim Yong Kim,
offers cities a suite of tailored tools and activities ranging from greenhouse gas
inventories and assessments to low-carbon investment planning and financing
solutions. As part of our efforts to help cities set themselves on a low-carbon
4

development path, at CitiSense we will announce the City Energy Efficiency
Transformation Initiative, which will help cities integrate energy efficiency into
their strategic planning, and find new opportunities to save money, improve
services, and reduce emissions.
N
CitiSense will also focus on cities as “co-creation platforms”, or enabling ecosystems that foster better conditions for catalyzing innovation, experimenting with
urban technologies, and delivering public services collaboratively.

Open innovation is becoming the standard framework for understanding and mobilizing innovation in companies. However, open innovation left companies and is driving
change also in cities and in general the public sector. Not only the typical innovators
but also citizens are the protagonists of this change.

then, he has become the head of the city’s borough of the West Zone, Secretary for the Environment and member of the State Assembly. After coordinating Paes’ election campaign in 2008,
Pedro Paulo was chosen to be the City Hall’s Chief of Staff. As such, he has been responsible for
the implementation of the high performance management structure – the first step of which
was the design of a Strategic Plan that establishes priorities and short and long-term goals for

An Open Innovation Approach to Tackle the Urbanization Challenge
For the first time in history more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Over 90 percent of urban growth takes place
in the developing world, adding an estimated 70 million new residents to urban areas each year. Demand for services in urban areas
is therefore increasing exponentially, which is posing a grave challenge for city governments. Cities face a conundrum of growing
demand for more and better services with fewer resources.
The solution to this conundrum comes in part through technology. Cities
are turning to technology to improve the management and provision of city
services. However, technology by itself is not a panacea for city problems.
Open innovation approaches can help apply, enhance and compliment the
impact of technologies t by engaging citizens—the users of city services--to
be an active part of the solutions to these problems, to help improve city
services, and become change agents in their own communities. Citizens
are essential to manage city neighborhoods: they have a better understanding of their communities’ needs, and aspire to have an active say in
the solutions to the problems that directly affect them in their daily lives.
This type of citizen engagement can be achieved with cost-efficient tools:
using readily available technologies, such as mobile phones, together with
open source solutions. By combining the citizens’ will and energy with
cost-effective technologies, city governments can provide more and better
services while incurring less cost.
The World Bank ICT Sector Practice is proposing a framework to help
cities in emerging economies implement this this type of open innovation
approach. The Co-Creation for Cities framework looks at the city as an
ecosystem, whereby city government, private sector, universities and citizens collaborate to develop and implement better and more efficient city
services. This framework follows a five step process:
44
45
IDEATION
City services can be improved by using simple open source technology
solutions. However, these solutions need to be tailored to the specific city
problems and targeted users, and made available to city officials in the form
of a public good. Most local government officials do not have the time or
the resources to review and access these open source solutions. To solve
these problems and introduce cost-effective technology tools at city-level,
the World Bank team works closely with city officials to ideate solutions
that would have a tangible and real impact for the city, through interactive
and dynamic workshops. This ideation process takes a practical approach
through hands-on group iteration exercises and exposes city officials to relevant examples from other cities that can be adapted to achieve real impact
in their cities. The outcome of this process is a number of key technology
solutions that solve real problems and enhance existing city service delivery; and increased capacity and know-how for city officials to replicate this
process for other city service needs.
ROADMAP
The use of technology solutions can improve individual city services, but
a comprehensive utilization of these tools will require the use of basic
platforms and infrastructure to limit silos and allow for data sharing and
common interfaces. Such support infrastructure can be a major investment
for the city. With the development of an organic roadmap that incorporates
all city service needs, required investment can be sequenced and bring
maximum results. To develop this organic roadmap, the World Bank works
with city officials to support them in setting a future aspirational goal of
technology implementation in city management and service delivery. To
do this foresight exercise, the Bank will first partner with cities where the
state of technology development is fairly advanced. Once the future goal
is established and the appropriate technology scenario is developed for
city management and services, the World Bank together with city officials
creates the roadmap. The roadmap will provide a plan to evolve city infrastructure and platforms (incorporating open data requirements for co-creation of solutions) , which will adapt investments to city needs and budget
constraints. This road map provides a reference guide that can be adapted
as the city evolves in the application of an increasing number of technology
solutions.
CO-CREATION
Technology tools can help improve city services by directly engaging citizens and other city stakeholders to be part of the solution, and, with the
Internet of things and citizens as sensors, provide close to real time data
for more informed decision making. Beyond city governments and citizens,
such technology tools and service delivery solutions will be open to all city
stakeholders that show interest and commitment in solving the city’s problems. Through open innovation competitions, such as hackathons or app
challenges, the city can bring together unusual partners—city government,
universities, civil society and community of local developers--to co-create
solutions, leveraging technology tools, and together solve challenges their
cities face. The World Bank works with the city government and stakeholders to design such an open innovation process, adapted to the local
circumstances to harness the greatest impact. This process aims to spark
the creation of a community of innovation to solve city-level problems.
To build on the momentum that the co-creation process generates, there
URBAN INNOVATION LAB
is a need for a space, an Urban Innovation Lab, that facilitates the ongoing
interaction between all stakeholders; a space where new ideas and solutions can be tested in a fail-safe environment. The Urban Innovation Lab
serves as an anchor of open innovation for city stakeholders, led by the city
government. This Lab can host the rapid prototyping process, through a
co-working space, and offer practical training and advisory based on living
lab and urban lab methodologies. The Lab would sustain dynamic open
innovation between all city stakeholders and serve as a test bed for local
innovation. The World Bank partners with experts from leading urban and
living labs to tailor the lab design to the local urban environment and help
create a local community of innovation for the benefit of the city’s ecosystem.
46
47
NETWORKS
Finally, cities that have gone through the previous 4 steps, can create a
network to share, use and reuse applications and practices. Through such
a network they can maximize the reach and value of the solutions they
develop by sharing them with their peers, as well as learn from and build
on experiences for other cities. Such networks could also connect with
already existing networks in Europe (for example, the European Network
of Living Labs or the Open Cities initiative) and in the US. The World Bank
can support cities to join such international city networks that apply open
innovation and co-creation approaches. The ultimate goal of this activity
is to create a global network for open innovation at city-level where all city
ecosystems can benefit from each other’s inventions and developments.

city energy efficiency transformation initiative
Is it possible for cities to spur economic growth while enhancing
energy efficiency? Which municipal sectors offer the greatest potential for energy cost savings? How can mayors introduce policies
that save money, expand services and contribute to the global
response to climate change? And where can urban planners find
private sector investment to finance innovative energy efficiency
programs?
The World Bank’s new City Energy Efficiency Transformation Initiative
(CEETI) offers city governments the support with which to answer these
critical questions. It is a joint initiative by three World Bank units—the
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the World Bank
Institute (WBI), and the Information and Communication Technologies
Unit (ICT), in partnership with the Global Buildings Performance Network
(GBPN) and the Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program
(CLASP). CEETI helps urban leaders integrate energy efficiency into the
core of city planning through programs to build their capacity, map out citywide efficiency strategies, and facilitate access to development financing.
The three-year initiative will assist selected cities throughout the entire
process from assessing their energy efficiency potential to developing
bankable energy efficiency projects or investment programs to designing
targeted interventions in areas such as public lighting, buildings, water
utilities, power and district heating, and urban transport. When implemented, these energy efficiency measures can help improve public services and
lower municipal energy bills, as well as contribute to job creation, economic
growth and the city’s competi-tiveness, while reducing greenhouse gas
emissions.
CEETI builds on experience gained from implementation of the Tool for
48
49
Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE), which was created by ESMAP
to measure energy efficiency across a range of municipal sectors and
pinpoint actions that can improve energy use and save cities money. Since
its creation, TRACE has been deployed in more than 25 major cities around
the world, including Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Skopje (Macedonia), Colombo
(Sri Lanka), Surabaya (Indonesia), and Nairobi (Kenya). It also builds on the
lessons of extensive work by the World Bank’s regional units, particularly
in the East Asia and Pacific region—through the Sustainable Urban Energy
and Emissions Planning (SUEEP) Program—in Eastern Europe and Central
Asia, and in the Latin America and the Caribbean region.
Mayors are pragmatists, not partisans; innovators, not ideologues. We are responsible for delivering results, not debating
politics. And as the world becomes increasingly more urban,
the importance of bold local action—particularly on climate
change— will continue to grow.
- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
CEETI will work with cities where there is a high potential for the development of urban energy efficiency programs, and a commitment from authorities to support such programs.
The first year of the program will support the integration of energy efficiency planning into decision-making, building the capacity of urban planners,
promoting learning and exchanges between cities, and facilitating partnerships with potential financiers. This will include capacity building over
a period of about 6 months, including hands-on training for city officials on
how to assess energy efficiency opportunities in the public sector, create
energy efficiency plans, and finance and implement programs.
The second and third years of the program will consist of dedicated technical assistance supporting cities to develop specific energy efficiency plans
and investment programs, pre-feasibility studies as well as policies and
institutions. This phase will support the implementation of transformational energy efficiency programs.
World Bank Group Support to Cities
With its focus on urban energy efficiency, CEETI is a key component of the World Bank Group’s approach to cities as engines
of growth and sustainable, low-carbon development. CEETI will
integrate energy efficiency into city planning and develop pipelines of bankable energy efficiency projects, build capacity, and
facilitate access to development financing.
CEETI works closely alongside the recently-announced World
Bank Low-Carbon and Livable Cities (LC2) initiative, which supports cities in their climate-smart development through activities aimed at planning (e.g., community scale emissions inventories; design of climate action plans and associated city-level
capital investment plans) and finance (e.g., city-focused credit-worthiness training program and development of innovative
financing solutions). The case of Rio de Janeiro exemplifies how
these two initiatives work together. Based on the outcome of
the TRACE study in Rio supported by ESMAP, the City of Rio
has identified two potential investments in energy efficiency:
efficient public street lighting using LEDs (Light Emitting Diode)
and energy efficiency retrofits in municipal buildings (schools
and hospitals). ESMAP then provided technical and financial
assistance with the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory
Facility (PPIAF) for a detailed feasibility study that will provide
implementation and financing options for these two projects.
Similarly, cities participating in CEETI could benefit from creditworthiness training and access financing through LC2.
CEETI will also cooperate with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank’s private sector arm, to provide
expertise in private buildings.
Working together, these initiatives enable the World Bank
Group to deliver a comprehensive package of assistance best
suited to each city’s priorities, capacities, and set of circumstances.
50
51
CEETI will also include:
• An Energy Efficiency Innovation Competition that will provide incentives to entrepreneurs and ICT businesses/teams to develop solutions to
city level energy efficiency challenges. Technology developers with experience working on urban planning and energy efficiency in developing
country cities will be invited to develop applications or other ICT solutions
that address key energy efficiency challenges that cities face.
•Dedicated Expert Technical Assistance for cities that demonstrate an
interest in implementing energy efficiency programs. A World Bank team
will work hand-in-hand with the city to overcome energy efficiency barriers
to help ensure successful implementation and delivery of energy efficient
urban services.

low-carbon livable cities (lc2) initiative
The World Bank Group’s LOW-CARBON LIVABLE CITIES (LC2)
INITIATIVE supports the cities of the developing world in their
efforts to set themselves on a low-carbon and resilient development
path. Leveraging the expertise of its many partners, the World Bank
Group has designed a series of planning and financing tools that can
be tailored to cities’ needs and help them tap their full emissions
reduction potential.
Applying a climate lens to cities’ development plans means that energy savings
resulting in lower carbon emissions will
free up budget for other sustainable
investments, resilient infrastructure will
withstand the forces of nature, and citizens will have cleaner air to breathe.
By reaching 300 of the largest developing country cities, the Initiative has
the potential to improve the lives of over 700 million people in the cities it
will help, and billions globally as emissions are reduced.
PLANNING: When it comes to planning, the first step is to understand
the problem at hand. A recent analysis by World Bank staff found that
only about 20 percent of the world’s 150 largest cities have even the basic
analytics needed for low-carbon planning. A critical part of the Initiative
is to build that evidence base by helping cities quantify greenhouse gas
emissions associated with economic activity and consumption. City-level
greenhouse gas inventories will provide municipal governments with a
snapshot of their emissions profile and enable them to identify the mix of
policies and investments that will help them achieve their full emissions
52
53
reduction potential.
FINANCING: Smart planning is only one part of the solution. As cities
grow, municipal governments need to broaden and deepen sources of
financing, moving beyond traditional public funding to access much larger
private pools of savings, particularly in domestic capital markets.
The first step to get finance flowing is to make municipalities more attractive to private investors and help them access markets. The initiative offers
a unique City Creditworthiness Training Program to help municipal governments set themselves on the path to access local capital markets directly.
However, achieving creditworthiness is a long-term process. To address
short term financing needs, the Initiative will also leverage the World Bank
Group’s expertise to develop innovative financing solutions enabling municipalities to access financing at better terms.

tool for rapid assessment of city energy
Cities face the difficult challenge of maintaining economic competitiveness,
and improving and expanding municipal services in the face of limited budgets. Energy efficiency (EE) can help cities relieve some of the budgetary
pressure by reducing energy costs, thus freeing resources for municipal
services. EE can also help improve the quality of services, such as improved
lighting, transport, and building maintenance. The Tool for Rapid Assess-
ment of City Energy (TRACE)is a decision-support system designed to help cities quickly identify and harness EE opportunities.
It targets underperforming sectors, evaluates improvement and costsaving
potential, and helps prioritize actions for EE interventions.TRACE focuses
on the municipal sectors with the highest energy use: passenger transport,
municipal buildings, water and wastewater, public lighting, power and heat,
and solid waste.
TRACE was developed by the Energy Sector Management Assistance
Program (ESMAP), a global technical assistance program administered by
the World Bank, and was designed to involve city decision-makers in the
deployment process. TRACE starts by collecting benchmark data, continues with a two-week on-location assessment with technical experts and
decision-makers, and concludes with a final report to city authorities with
specific recommendations on EE opportunities tailored to the city’s needs.
TRACE MODULES
TRACE consists of three modules: energy benchmarking, which compares
the target city with peer cities globally; sector prioritization, which ranks
sectors according to their EE potential; and intervention selection, which
functions as a “playbook” of global best EE practices that the city can consult for actual implementation design.
54
55
1. ENERGY BENCHMARKING
This module has a database of 28 key performance indicators collected
from 93 cities around the world. Examples include citywide indicators
(such as energy consumption per unit of the city’s GDP) and sector-specific
variables (such as electricity consumption per light pole). City authorities
can compare their city’s performance against peer cities on any of the key
performance indicators. They can also choose the comparison cities based
on population size, climate conditions, human development index, and any
other criteria.
2. SECTOR PRIORITIZATION
This module uses three functions—potential for improvement, sector energy spending, and city authority control—to prioritize sectors. The “potential
for improvement” indicates the scope of EE improvement that the city may
realize if it were to match the average of better-performing comparator
cities. The “sector energy spending” captures the total amount of money
that the city spends in the sector on energy. The
“city authority control” allows the user to specify the degree of influence
the city authority has in the sector.
implement each recommendation. City officials can
then select a set of recommendations deemed socially
and economically viable. A
detailed analysis is available
for each recommendation
to help users quantify the
potential energy savings for
each EE action.
Getting Started with TRACE
TRACE can be downloaded from http://
esmap.org/TRACE. ESMAP provides
training to cities or implementing agencies that are planning to use TRACE. The
training can be conducted in person or
via video link. A TRACE e-learning course
was created in partnership with the World
Bank Institute. The course is available
at http://einstitute.worldbank.org/ei/

and Latin America.
• In Turkey, TRACE helped define the Sustainable Cities pillar in the
World Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy for Turkey for 2012-15. Since
then, the TRACE findings have informed the World Bank’s US$300 million
programmatic lending to cities in Turkey.
3. INTERVENTION SELECTION
TRACE contains a set of 60 EE interventions that combines a blend of both
high-level strategic programs and specific activities that the city can pursue. These recommendations are supported by a database of 191 global
case studies that link to additional resources and software tools that can
help the city implement EE measures. Each recommendation is rated on
three attributes: (i) energy savings potential, (ii) initial implementation cost,
and (iii) speed of implementation. These are used to help the city prioritize
activities in an action plan.
In order to synthesize recommendations appropriate for a city, TRACE
enables the user to match city capability to the capabilities required to
• In Brazil, TRACE was implemented in Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte.
In the latter, the findings have been incorporated in the city’s strategy and
the “traffic optimization” recommendation has been implemented. In Rio
de Janeiro, the World Bank’s Presidential Cities Task Force is preparing
specific investments in the public lighting and buildings sectors, which were
identified by TRACE as having the largest EE potential.
• In Vietnam, the World Bank used TRACE to create city-level case
studies, the results of which were subsequently used to create Sustainable Urban Energy Program Guidelines for cities across the East Asia and
Pacific region.
56
57
• In Romania, a World Bank team is deploying TRACE in seven fast-growing cities as part of the Romania Regional Development Program funded by
the European Union. TRACE is being used to identify the specific investments to be funded under the program.
• In Kenya, TRACE is being used to identify EE investments and prepare
Nairobi’s EE action plan.
code for resilience
community-driven innovation for disaster resilience
Natural disasters affected the lives of over 2 billion people in the first
decade of this century alone. Together these disasters set the global
economy back nearly USD$1 trillion in damage to lives, infrastructure, and
livelihoods.
At a time when the incidence of reported natural disasters is rising
steadily, how can we increase resilience to natural disasters?
Code for Resilience, a project of the World Bank’s Global Facility for
Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), is partnering local technologists with global experts in disaster risk management to envision new apps,
platforms and tools that enhance community resilience to natural disasters.
The project, generously supported by the Government of Japan, is organized into three phases:
1
The collection of locally-relevant and ICT-actionable disaster risk
management “problem statements” (October-January);
2
One- to two-day “hack-a-thons” held in select cities around the
globe that team technologists up to create “hacks” that aim to
solve these problem statements (February); and
3
An online contest that encourages technologists to continue
developing, testing and refining their products (March-June).
Grand prize winners of the Code for Resilience online contest will be
announced at the World Bank’s Understanding Risk conference in London,
England in July 2014.
58
The Code for Resilience follows two preceding World Bank strategic “hackathons” in the water and sanitation sectors that together have organized
events in over 50 cities with more than 1,000 developers leading to dozens
of new technology tools, some of which are now being used by the World
Bank and client governments.
Those interested in hosting a local Code for Resilience event are invited to
send an email to CodeforResilience@gmail.com. Please provide your name,
title, organization, contact information, website, and a brief expression of
interest. Eligible candidates will be sent a packet providing participation
criteria and available technical support.

Helping cities to open their data and giving
developers the tools they need, the CitySDK aims
for a step change in how to deliver services in
urban environments.
CitySDK aims at creating open uniform interfaces between the cities and
across the borders. SDK (Service Development Kit) refers to the tools that
technology companies provide for their developers. The same concept is
now introduced to cities to help them better utilize the know-how of the
developer communities in developing city services.
The Project focuses on three Pilot domains: Smart Participation, Smart Mobility and Smart Tourism. Solutions of these domains are tested in Helsinki,
Amsterdam and Lisbon, and replicated in other European cities such as
Barcelona, Istanbul, Lamia, Manchester and Rome.
CitySDK offers great benefits for cities as well as developers. It is a collection of tools and knowledge that will allow easy and rapid development
of transferable and interoperable Smart City services and applications. In
CitySDK a set of European cities work together to produce common tools
for the developers. Participating cities have in total a population of over 30
million inhabitants – offering countless opportunities for innovative companies, entrepreneurs and developers to create applications and services
that will improve the quality of life of the citizens.

co-creating sustainable neighbourhood services to
address people’s wishes, interests, and needs.
MyN is a project funded by the European Commission aiming at the co-creation of sustainable neighbourhood services to address people’s Wishes,
Interests and Needs.
MyNeighbourhood combines user driven open innovation methodologies,
design thinking and innovative approaches for sustainable user engagement such as Gamification to create a sense of belonging and identity
among neighbourhood dwellers and lead them to identify and creatively
solve their own common problems.
The ultimate aim of MyN is to kick-start a viral effect wherein neighbours
and friends (within cities and across Europe) will use the open MyN Platform to reconnect with one another, share new ideas, create new ways of
interacting and help make their daily lives‘ smarter. Through the combination of three core components: Urban Living Lab, Neighbourhoods and
Sustainable solutions, MyN aspires to start the development of a Human
Smart City at the scale of Neighbourhood.
Commons for Europe aims to identify the needs of public administrations
and citizens, promote the creation of new applications that can provide
innovative services and share the results openly among multiple European
cities.
The project aims to jointly create mobile and web applications that will
enable improved services, reduced costs and greater transparency. To
achieve these goals, the team led by ESADE Business School works with
seven European cities and their public institutions to identify the types
of new services that could benefit citizens and meet their needs through
innovation.
The Consortium has already set up a team of technical experts in new technologies to develop web and mobile applications that can offer this type of
services.
To achieve its objectives, the project intends to create an organisation
called Code for Europe – similar to Code for America – in order to channel
the efforts and imagination of promising young developers. The applications will be designed to operate in any of the seven cities involved in the
programme, but they will also be made available to any other European city
that expresses interest in them.
Promoting collaboration among cities across Europe is crucial to prevent
“reinventing the wheel” and to be able to implement multiple solutions for
common problems. To accomplish these goals, Commons for Europe has
developed Europe Commons, a new marketplace for civic innovation that
features apps and digital services aimed at improving the lives of communities.

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is the international,
non-profit, independent association of benchmarked Living Labs in Europe
and worldwide grown through ‘Waves’ of Calls for Membership applications with now more than 330 accredited Living Labs worldwide.
Living Labs are real-life test and experimentation environments, where users and producers co-create innovations, in a trusted, open ecosystem that
enables business and societal innovation. Living Labs enable the co-creation of user-driven and human-centric research, development and innovation of technologies, product and services focused on wellbeing of people.
A Living Lab employs four main activities:
• Co-creation: co-design by users and producers;
• Exploration: discovering emerging usages, behaviours and market opportunities;
• Experimentation: implementing live scenarios within communities of
users;
