  12. Smart City @POLITO Enrico MaciiVice Rector

  13. Smart City @POLITO From vertical (monodisciplinary) to horizontal research (multidisciplinary). Wide spectrum application domains Enabling technologies Across-department contributions Strategic sectors: Energy efficiency Sustainable mobility Urban planning eGovernment Social inclusion Health-care services and telemedicine Environment monitoring and control SMART CITY

  14. Concerto AL PianoThe Integrated Urban Villages of Alessandria FP6 Project Coordinator: SOFTECH Tecnologia Energia Ambiente Objectives: Concerto AL Piano will operate in an urban area embracing the most urgent problems faced by the City of Alessandria, built in the last century. This area, placed along the railway sorting depot, creates a large “urban vacuum” between two residential areas with a high density to east and the west. Examples of Smart City Projects (I)

  15. Examples of Smart City Projects (II) Wifi4EnergyWireless Sensor Network for Energy Management in Educational Buildings Research Project funded by Regione Piemonte Objectives: to carry out an environmental and energy monitoring program testing the suitability of WSN technologies to produce a prototype of web site integrated with the intranet of the university promoting responsibility and energy-consciousness of users

  16. Beyond Stand-Alone Projects Stand-alone actions are impact-less Synergy of actions Technology sharing and re-use Joint demonstrators Multi-disciplinary and complementary skills, competences and actors: R&D Big enterprises SMEs Public authorities

  17. Torino Smart City: Goal The goal that the City of Torino set for itself for 2020 is part of a larger project requiring a deep cultural change and the contribution of all those who live and operate on the city territory: bodies, institutions, companies, associations, citizens.

  18. TorinoSmart City: Governance The Torino Smart City Foundation for a Sustainable Development. Flexible model for financing and managing the planning of city development path. Platform for Torino Smart City. Development of a Strategic Action Plan. More than 90 bodies subscribed to the Declaration of Interest for contributing to the overall project. Torino City Council appointed an executive office which works closely with R&D and innovation actors for steering the conception, development and implementation of projects in a synergic fashion.

  19. Torino Smart City: Ingredients Technology integration (ICT and beyond) Interoperability and system interfacing Legislation framework and incentivizing policies Value chain and business opportunities

  20. Torino Smart City: Recipe Stand-alone actions are impact-less Need of a “Master Plan” Development of “scalable”, “replicable”, yet “flexible” and “adaptive” models Networked collaborative approach Right choice of roles and actors Involvement of “end users”: Education and training Accesso to local, national and EU finding

  21. Recent Funding Opportunities Call: PON Smart Cities and Social Innovation: 240M Euro, Structural Funds (Southern Regions only) Call: National Technological Clusters 408M Euro Call: Smart Cities and Social Innovation 655M Euro Call: EU FP7 Smart Cities and Communities (SCC) European Innovation Partnership 365M Euro, R&D

  22. Results on Smart City Projects EU: ICT EEB: DIMMER (STREP), OPTIMUS (STREP), RESET (CSA) NMP: TRIBUTE (STREP) TRANSPORT: OPTICITIES (STREP), FABRIC (STREP) National Technological Clusters: Zero Energy Buildings in Smart Urban Districts Environmentally Sustainable Smart Mobility Smart Cities and Social Innovation: 20 project proposals submitted in 13 differents areas (out of 16 available) Results will be announced next week
