CitySDK is a platform to share real-time data and making it available to developers and citizens alike. By implementing CitySDK, cities and citizens can make use of applications built elsewhere, while developers massively extend their potential reach. Opening up can lead to better services, and eventually better cities.

Design Rules for Smarter Cities•Your citizens know more than you. •Prototype early and fast, engage the stakeholders, iterate quickly and be prepared to start all over.

•Embrace self-organisation and civic initiative, but help to make the results sustainable and scalable.

•Know what you are talking about in the face of technology. Never rely on consultants that will sell you more consultancy, not solutions.

•Have binding decisions made at the lowest level possible and actively preach self-governance.

•Favour loosely coupled, smaller systems over monoliths and mastodons, and use peer-defined standards to glue together the parts. Small systems tend to fail sometimes; large systems fail for sure.

•To raise and deserve trust, build systems based on data reciprocity and transparency.

•Reuse existing parts and design your additions for reuse, adding to the public domain and thereby strengthening its capacity to act and learn.
