Currently, a smart city infrastructure is based in part on readily available and relatively low-cost technologies – smartphones, broadband wireless Internet, netbooks and tablets, and smart meters that improve sharing of data and information. But we are heading toward much greater interconnectivity amongst many different systems. The goal is an urban nervous system that exploits advanced sensor technologies to feed information to a central “brain,” which then controls fundamental aspects of the city’s behaviour and energy usage.

Our unique focus day will present you with a series of case studies, presentations and discussions led by experts on making smart technology one of your key deliverables. Learn how to:

• Use big data to improve infrastructure, planning and management

• What the implications of smart city solutions on cloud are for cities?

• Successfully implement multi-media analytics at zero cost

• How to transform company productivity through enterprise mobility

• How to constantly deliver a return on investment by using geospatial intelligence

We then break into 3 roundtables and fi nish the day with interactive discussions on the day’s main takeaways. Delegates have the chance to question all of our speakers more closely and are also encouraged to share their own experiences and innovations in smart technology. Each table will be led by one of our key speakers and will consist of a group of 10–15 like-minded peers.

12.20 In Conversation 360° Perspective - Why the Focus on Cities, and What Does Smart Mean to Different Cities?The world crossed an important milestone in 2008: For the fi rst time in history, more than half of Earth’s population lived in cities. And now, if current population trends continue, more than 70 percent of the world’s population will be urban by 2050. As the strain on cities increases the ‘Smart’ cities movement has emerged in order to help city governments cope with the increasing demands placed on it. But what does ‘Smart’ mean to different cities? For some it is all about digitally connected infrastructure that can help operate urban systems with unprecedented effi ciency and collect data so rich that citizens get what they need even before they know they need it. In contrast to these technologically based approaches some stress the social and community dimension, governance and empowerment; and others focus on jobs, competitiveness and growth catalyzed through programmes to create a more skilled population.

DEFINING THE ROI

According to Volker Buscher of Arup, on a scale of 1 to 10, we are probably only at level 3 or 4 down the smart city route. There’s a whole host of issues and barriers to be overcome, including a lack of political impetus and leadership; diffi culty getting machines to talk to each other; and the central issue of funding. Many of the trial projects that prove that smarter cities can deliver improved outcomes have included substantial funding from research. The fi nancial and commercial models that would justify investment from government and other sources are still largely missing. This stream will explore smart governance, governance barriers and utilising open source data.

14:30 Why does your City need to adopt a Smart Governance Approach?Malcolm is a thought leader and facilitator on city competitiveness and economic development through technology enabled innovation and entrepreneurship. He works with local and central governments, industry and academia to achieve powerful local outcomes via the development of high skilled jobs, innovation and entrepreneurship within city economies. This presentation will show you that urban areas are facing great challenges as their socio-economic environments constantly change, their population increases and the competition with other urban areas strengthens. In order to respond to these challenges, cities need better governance and thus better implementation strategies if they want to prosper. Adopting a “smart governance” approach can help cities in the implementation of their path towards success:

» Towards better governance

» Implementing Smarter Cities: The Six Levers of Change

» Strategic and scenario planning

» Collaboration and communication

» Public-private partnerships

» Funding strategies

Air pollution is a severe problem – Smog hangs heavy over Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, where children grow up with asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Of particular concern is PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm) air pollution. In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xi’an, PM2.5 concentration levels in all four cities exceed World Heath Organisation (WHO) air quality guidelines. This means higher health risks to the cardiovascular system, cerebrovascular system and an increase in the probability of cancer and premature death. Professor Lau will give you a detailed overview on:

» The problem and impacts of air pollution in China

» The simple solutions to air pollution

» What we’re doing about air pollution in China

» Take action on air pollution in your city

✔ TRACK CSMART RESILIENCE

NEXT GENERATION 911

City resilience is the ability of a city to bounce back from a shock or stress in a way that it is more stable than before. A comprehensive Urban Security posture demands new approaches from the security agencies involved and also a greater use of modern tools and technologies. This track addresses how the effective and appropriate deployment and development of such security technology will be a force multiplier that can help government agencies cope with the increasing demands and complex security challenges which arise from rapid urbanization.

14:30 Disaster Resilience: Building Tomorrow’s Smart Disaster Management SystemsGed Griffi n is an Inspector in the Victoria Police Force and a researcher for the University of Melbourne. During his career he has performed duties in general operations, marine policing, criminal investigations, intelligence and counter terrorism operations. His presentation will provide a cutting edge overview on the Centre for Disaster Management and Public Safety (CDMPS) a research centre established at the University of Melbourne focused on conducting multi-disciplinary research and training on disaster management and public safety both nationally and internationally:

15:00 The Role of CCTV and Analytics in Secured Cities: To what Extent can they help you Manage and Measure Risk?Dr.Rustom Kanga led the team that built the world’s fi rst commercial Artifi cial intelligence based system at Digital Equipment Corporation. Twenty years later he founded iOmniscient to bring Artifi cial Intelligence to the Security Industry. Over a decade the many technologies that the company evolved for traffi c management, metro and city surveillance converged into an integrated solution for Smart Cities. His presentation will show you how city surveillance has taken on a new level of importance in recent times, with an increasing need to protect the public, employees, offi cials and facilities. Indeed, law enforcement agencies must be aware of and have access to footage of security and safety incidents and violations in large metropolitan areas in order to fi ght crime, prioritize events, improve city management, effectively allocate law enforcement personnel, and furnish evidence for forensic investigation purposes.

Dr Rustom Kanga, Co-Founder and CEO, iOmniscient
