Cities are Complex, Adaptive Systems of Systems
Atlantic Council Awards Dinner, Washington, D.C., April 29, 2009
“And a city is a system—indeed, a city is a complex system of systems. All the ways in which the world works—from transportation, to energy, to healthcare, to commerce, to education, to security, to food and water and beyond—come together in our cities.”

A Smarter Buildings to Cities simulation calibration project include 4 phases
12 IBM Confidential
Phase Activity Outcome
Data Collection Review the main issues (hexagon
brainstorming), identify data
sources and gather data
Documentation detailing the
sources and the data
Causal Logic Refinement Interviews with subject matter
experts on the specifics of how the
district operates in a city context
Model explorer that shows how
systems within your city are
connected to district performance
Simulation Calibration Review inputs and results of
subsystems with city experts;
gather additional data needed for
model based on causal logic
refinement
Model subsystems that have been
tuned to represent your city
Implementation Tuning the model and review of
model behavior; preparation of
insights and final simulation
Presentations to city departments
and constituencies

City Causal Logic
A process for creating a shared understanding among subject matter experts and citizens of the
underlying interconnected structures that make up a city
The resulting structure can then be explored through an interactive visual map and through policy
simulation
Business value is created through its use in discovery, testing, communication, and constituency building

Our projects need to be adaptable in structure and guided by the City’s values
Black box solutions will not fly - city leaders need to know why A affects B
Transparency is not enough – complexity must be managed as well
Cities will not necessarily think in our category structure
The co-creation process is as valuable as the actual model and is essential to buy-in
A bullet proof model is less correct than one which includes softer factors and is adaptable
General Lessons
Business Value
We are working with IBM technical teams to provide context to event/real-time models
Project learning will inform future versions of IBM web content like CityOne
We are approaching other cities to assess interest in fee based projects
