ExECutiVE SuMMARy
Population growth and urbanization are stretching many cities inrastructure and resources to
breaking point. Policymakers and public leaders are increasingly looking to IC solutions to eectively
provide public services like education, healthcare, saety, transportation, and utilities. At the same time,
municipal bankruptcies and public-sector nancial crises create a gap between the ends required and
the means to get there. Public-sector I leaders are less optimistic about the outlook or their sector
than those in other industries. Yet, they do report plans to increase spending or certain hardware andsoware categories, particularly industry-specic applications and networking equipment that underpin
smart city initiatives. Demand rom local governments, along with similar conglomerations like
universities and company towns, will drive incremental opportunities or IC suppliers in the coming
years. o capitalize on these opportunities, vendor strategists must partner with urban leaders, providing
guidance not only on the technology solutions and services but also on the business models and delivery
options that will ensure the long-term viability o smart city projects.

URBAN DeMOGRAPhICS ReqUIRe NeW APPROACheS TO PUBLIC SeRVICeS
Global population growth and urbanization give rise to new social and economic challenges.
Between 2009 and 2050, the world population will increase by 2.3 billion reaching 9.1 billion
people. Over the same period, the population living in urban areas is projected to grow by 2.9
billion reaching 6.3 billion people, or nearly 70% o the worlds population, in 2050.1 Tese
global numbers mask a signicant dierence between mature and emerging markets, with the least
developed countries experiencing some o the most dramatic population growth and urbanization
(see Figure 1).2
Many cities are stretched beyond the capacity o their existing inrastructure and resources. Te
growing inux o migrants into cities requires new thinking about how to meet the demand or
public services. Even where overall population growth is smaller or even negative, urbanization
is increasing. Population growth in developed countries will only be 3% between 2010 and 2050,
but the size o the urban population will increase by 18%. In both developed and developingcountries, policymakers must address the need to provide more services to more people. And in
developed countries where overall populations are not growing as quickly, cities oen ace a limited
and shrinking tax base, meaning that many ace the age-old challenge o having to do more with
less. Innovative governments and public organizations undertake smart city initiatives to bring
inormation and communications technology (IC) to bear in response to the demands o an
increasingly urban population.
Population growth pressures global resources. More people means competition or limitedresources and eventual scarcity. Demand or water and energy illustrates these pressures. In
1990, 20 countries aced water scarcity up rom only seven in 1955. By 2025, an additional
10 countries and by 2050, another our will ace water scarcity, accounting or a total
o 18% o the worlds population. Another 24% will experience water stress or shortage.3
Combined, thats almost hal the worlds population with most in developing countries. Te
demand or energy use is also growing more rapidly in developing countries. Te Organisation
or Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimates that energy consumption
will increase by 84% in non-OECD countries, compared with a 14% increase in energy use
among the 33 OECD countries. Te two largest uses o energy consumption are industry and
transportation, both o which are expected to increase more rapidly in non-OECD countries.4
Rapid urbanization concentrates eects in cities and new megacities. Te phenomenon
o the megacity a city with more than 10 million inhabitants exacerbates the eects opopulation grown and urbanization. In 1950, there were just two megacities in the world:
New York and okyo. Since then, megacities have cropped up like mushrooms, with most
emerging in developing countries. oday, Asia has 11 megacities, Latin America has our, and
Arica, Europe, and North America have two each. Tese 21 megacities account or 9.4% o the
worlds urban population. By 2025, when the number o megacities reaches 29, Asia will have

gained another ve, Latin America two, and Arica one or a total o 10.3% o the worlds urban
population. Nine o these cities will have more than 20 million inhabitants turning urban
issues such as trafc, public saety, healthcare, education, and housing into megachallenges.
Uneven distribution means that services requirements vary across cities. As developingcountries grow and ace the pressures o megacities, the more mature markets are also acing
pressures that o increasingly aging and oen shrinking populations. By 2050, the percentage
o the population that is 65 or older will be 32%in Germany, 33% in Italy, and almost 38% in
Japan. Germanys overall population will all by 14% between 2010 and 2050. By contrast, the
over-65 population will be just 13% in India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines.5 For
the mature markets, such high concentrations o older people bring a whole new set o issues,
particularly with ewer people in the workorce to support the unding o services required.
Cities in these more rapidly aging markets need to attract and retain citizens and businesses
through programs that increase the competitiveness and attractiveness o their cities rom both
commercial and residential perspectives.
The SMART CITy A FRAMeWORk FOR ADDReSSING GLOBAL ISSUeS LOCALLy
As policymakers address these demographic shis, the concept o a smart city serves as shorthand
or the complete menu o initiatives that city leaders could undertake. Smart or other adjectives
associated with technological innovation, such as uture or digital city initiatives will drive
technology adoption into the public sector at an increasing rate, particularly in emerging markets
where demographic challenges are most acute.
Forrester denes the smart city as:
A city that uses inormation and communications technologies to make the critical inrastructure
components and services o a city administration, education, healthcare, public saety, real estate,
transportation, and utilities more aware, interactive, and efcient.6
Tis new approach to urban governance is enabled by the next macro cycle o inormation
technology innovation, which Forrester labels Smart Computing, using real-time awareness and
data analytics to support better decision-making.7 Each system that makes up a citys inrastructure
can be made smarter by enabling real-time interaction either human or machine to acilitate
decision-making based on the data produced. In the system o systems that is a city, the potential
or efciency grows as more systems interconnect and interact. Computing technology transorms a
citys core systems, enabling them to capture, analyze, and act on the data they produce. As a result,
a smart city can optimize the use o and return rom nite resources.

Smart Cit Initiativs Improv Critical Infrastructur And Srvics
A sampling o smart city initiatives stretches across the critical inrastructure and public services
that city governments provide or citizens (see Figure 2):
ransportation. ransportation systems can reroute buses or open new lanes o trafc toaccommodate in real time the ows o trafc on city streets. Stockholm and London are two
places with sophisticated smart transportation initiatives leveraging IBMs Smart ransportation
solutions. Another example o I-enabled transportation initiatives is the mobile payment
program or parking launched in San Juan Province in Northwest Argentina, where drivers pay
or parking via SMS. Leveraging its network and billing inrastructure, elenica works with
local governments to develop these mobile payment initiatives. Streetline, a provider o smart
technologies or cities, oers solutions that leverage sensors and real-time networks to identiy
available parking spaces and improve monitoring o parking meters. Several bus rapid transit
initiatives have also launched in cities in many regions, building on basic inrastructure, such asdedicated bus routes, to also include integrated scheduling and ticketing systems.
Utilities. Smart energy grids deliver only as much energy as needed to reduce waste; theyinorm users o how much they are consuming to inuence demand. Services rms such
as Accenture and Capgemini oer a range o consulting and systems integration services to
help local utilities and governments improve energy distribution and to change consumption
patterns through increased awareness enabled by smart meters. Yet, in some regions, knowing
how much energy is being used is not the problem; rather, its getting any electricity at all. In
these regions, a lack o reliable electricity limits the use o technology and prevents expansion o
smart initiatives. New designs or solar-powered data centers enable cities to leverage alternative
energy sources and control energy use based on available solar input and by prioritizing critical
applications. Suppliers like Inveneo and Green Wi provide products and solutions to enable
connectivity in remote and underserved locations.
Healthcare. In healthcare, electronic patient records acilitate inormation sharing andcollaboration across clinics, pharmacies, and hospitals.8 elemedicine extends the reach
o medical acilities and improves access to medicine. Such eHealth initiatives are being
implemented worldwide. At the national level, countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia
are implementing eHealth programs as a way to accommodate the needs o a rapidly
growing population. At a more local level, cities such as rikala in Greece have implemented
telemedicine pilot programs to remotely monitor elderly, disabled, and chronically ill patients.9
Vendors such as Cisco, GE, IBM, and Siemens work with industry-specic partners, including
InterSystems and McKesson, to deliver smart healthcare solutions. MN and elenica oer

Education. Within higher education, educators and administrators recognize the power o newtechnology to improve the efciency and eectiveness o universities. Tey are increasingly
interested in leveraging new technologies to both increase access to educational content and
improve collaboration among students and aculty. For example, the Blue Sky eLearning
initiative in China provides students in rural areas with remote access to educational content
and urban aculty members.10 However, more broadly, universities are aced with the reality o
managing the campus city. From campus transportation to public saety to administration,
advanced technologies such as broadband and Wi-Fi, sensors, and analytics are improving
the efciency and cost-eectiveness o university services. Universidad Nacional Autnoma
de Mxico (UNAM) launched an initiative UNAM Digital to promote strategic and
efcient use o IC to support the broader mandate o the university (education, research,
and dissemination o culture) as well as the overall management o the campus (public saety,
transportation, and buildings maintenance).11
Public saety. Initiatives to improve public saety are oen high on public ofcials prioritylist. Ofcials reap political benets rom public saety initiatives that serve to: optimize the
capacity and response time o emergency services; secure and control mass events; secure public
administration transactions and workows; and provide surveillance o public places. In Ceuta,
Spain, located on the northernmost tip o Arica, or example, 250 cameras were positioned
around town and connected to emergency services. Feeds rom cameras are combined with
video analysis and a centralized emergency command center. ech vendors and service
providers alike provide public saety solutions. Ciscos Video Surveillance Manager provides
cameras and command centers with policy-based access to live and archived video. elenica
leverages its mobility and network assets to provide enhanced 911 (E911) services to improve
the response times o emergency services.
Building management. Buildings are the building blocks o cities, and real estate boomshave changed the landscape in many major cities, particularly in Asia. Te buildings sector
both residential and commercial accounts or about one-h o the worlds total delivered
energy consumption.12 In the US, buildings account or about 70% o energy use: Tink o
the HVAC system, lights, water, elevators, the power and cooling or I, and the heating and
cooling or people. Optimized and modernized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
alone can signicantly reduce building energy consumption. Integrated building and room
automation systems urther cut energy and operating costs. Long-time building automation and
management vendors, such as Honeywell and Johnson Controls, provide building technologysolutions. Etisalats E-Real Estate and E-Facilities Management (FM) oering manages
intelligent building technologies and integrated FM solutions, with noted clients including
several airports, mosques, and government buildings in Dubai.

Constituent services both or citizens and businesses. eGovernment portals enable citiesto better communicate with their constituents, be they citizens, employees, suppliers, or local
businesses. Te Spanish city o Ceuta provides extensive online services, with our portals or
basic inormation, citizen services, business, and tourists, all based on a common inrastructure.
For example, live eeds rom hundreds o digital cameras located around the city provide real-
time views o historical sites or tourists but also link to emergency services departments. Even
businesses benet rom more efcient interaction with the city through more streamlined and
transparent procurement policies, as well as registration and taxation processes. An Accenture
project in South Arica ound one company with 196 dierent points o tax registration a
constituent that would truly benet rom streamlined business registration and taxation
processes.13
City management. City administrations can integrate systems to enable win-win budget
decisions across competing city departments: Imagine the transportation and sanitationdepartments leveraging data to resolve joint issues, rather than competing or budget to solve
the issue in a silo. Citywide planning and technology implementations enable efciencies across
departments, such as the use o surveillance cameras or both transportation and security
solutions. Siemens City o the Future demonstration center in Singapore gives city managers a
hands-on introduction to a range o solutions to address cross-system city management, such as
its City Dashboard.

Smart Citis Will Com In All Saps And Sizs
We see existing cities that ace crumbling inrastructure and pressures to improve services as
demographics shi aging in some regions and growing in others. We also see new cities emerging
to absorb the growing demand or urban areas. In China alone, population growth and migration
will give rise to 81 new cities by 2025.14 However, traditional cities are not the only opportunity or
target or smart city initiatives. Other entities are equally systems o systems and ace a similar
array o issues. We dene three categories o targets that will provide opportunities or technology
vendors, systems integrators, and service providers (see Figure 3):
Source: Forrester Research, Inc.56701
Public safetyand security
Smart public safety solutions use sensor-activated video surveillance cameras, video analytics,and workflow to identify and route suspicious or anomalous observations to the appropriateauthorities. Enhanced 911 systems automatically identify a callers location either through thefixed telephone location, or via cell triangulation or GPS in the case of mobile calls.
Buildingmanagement
Smart building management solutions use smart meters, monitoring devices, and sensors toconnect heating, air-conditioning, lighting, security systems, and other appliances in homesand businesses, enabling users to better track and control use of electricity and water.
Cityadministration
Smart city administration solutions facilitate the automation of city processes, from reportingof complaints to registration of a business or renewal of a drivers license. Rules engines andautomated workflows streamline processes and facilitate interactions with city administration.
Wastemanagement
Smart waste management solutions use sensors (e.g., capacity sensors to trigger waste removal,electronic noses to detect toxicity in landfills), automatic notification, and collaboration amonglocal authorities to improve the efficiency of waste collection and treatment.
City system Examples of smart solutions
Transportation Smart transportation solutions use sensors and analytics to predict the arrival of a bus or train,and notify passengers via SMS or through information boards at city bus and train stations.Parking information is also available in response to an SMS query or information signsadvertising free parking spaces using sensors to detect available spaces. Payment may bemade via SMS. Municipal fleet management solutions use onboard sensors in vehicles todetect and notify drivers or fleet owners when there is a problem with the vehicle, if there is anaccident, or when maintenance procedures are needed.
Healthcare Smart healthcare solutions include telemedicine applications, electronics recordsmanagement, health information exchanges, hospital and clinic asset management, andsupply chain optimization. Patients can be fitted with ID bracelets that include GPS capabilitiesthat track a patients location, medication administration, and medical condition. Data fromremote diagnostics equipment in a patients home can monitor the status of vital signs, bloodpressure, and glucose levels and can be used as an alternative to visiting a doctors office.
There are also remote monitoring system for disabled, chronically ill, or elderly patients.
Education Smart education solutions range from eLearning to connected campuses. Learning solutionsfocus on increased access to educational content and improved collaboration among studentsand faculty through connectivity, content management, and unified communicationtechnologies. Large universities also leverage broadband, Wi-Fi, sensors, and analytics toimprove the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of university services from campustransportation to public safety to administration.

1. New cities that are smart rom the start. New cities have the luxury o incorporating the
smart city vision rom inception. Tese cities are oen purpose-built, strategically placed,
and designed to attract businesses and residents with a master plan that incorporates
IC inrastructure and world-class services. Tey oen include broadband connectivity,incorporation o green belts, renewable energy, green buildings, smart transportation, and
other intelligent city systems. Tere are an increasing number o such cities around the globe,
particularly in emerging markets, including: Songdo IBD, South Korea; Meixi Lake, China;
Masdar City, Abu Dhabi; King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia; Lavasa, India; and the
newly announced Skolkovo, Russia. While some new cities have government sponsors, others
are privately owned. Lavasa is run as a private corporation, and another ve new cities planned
along a corridor between Delhi and Mumbai will be mostly privately owned.15 Te ownership
structure o these new cities described by one Stanord economist as charter cities itsel
challenges the denition o a city, and o the public sector.16
2. Existing cities that address challenges with retrofts and upgrades. From Manchester to
Monterrey, existing cities are addressing issues with their inrastructure and the services they
provide. Cisco and the City o Holyoke, Massachusetts recently announced new technology-
based initiatives that empower the city to collaboratively work toward generating new economic
opportunities, improving the delivery and quality o education, and bolstering population
retention via a ramework o strategic network solutions. Shenyang, the capital city o Liaoning
Province in Northeast China, has recently launched a revitalization eort to transorm the city
into a regional hub and address the eects o an industrial legacy. Note that the issues dier
rom those aced by ast-growing megacities; existing cities are more oen trying to attract
or retain residents. Other existing city initiatives aim to improve job creation and workorce
retraining, eliminate blight and improve property maintenance, improve public saety, andreduce the environmental impact o aging manuacturing inrastructure. Tese cities arguably
need to become smart in order to remain cities at all.
3. Noncity cities that also provide opportunities, sometimes with ewer obstacles.17 I a city
is a system o systems, there are actually a number o cities that all outside o the more
traditional denition o a city.18 Universities, company towns, and even amusement parks
such as Disney World can be considered cities. With their own I departments acing many
o the same issues as traditional cities, many o these entities certainly strive to be smarter.
For example, Saudi Aramco the national oil company in Saudi Arabia acts as a city in
many ways, providing extensive services to its 350,000 employees. Te company provides the
communities it operates with electricity, healthcare acilities, public saety services, schools, and
other cultural services, such as a mobile libraries program and an annual childrens art contest. It
operates an electrical power grid, health center acilities, and nearly 135 schools, and it has been
active in community education initiatives, such as health campaigns, extensive environmental
awareness campaigns, recycling campaigns, and campaigns on trafc and re saety. Vendors
pay attention: Saudi Aramco is a candidate or smart city solutions.

UNAM, a university in Mexico, is also a city or all practical purposes. In act, the central
campus is known as Ciudad Universitaria, or University City, and encompasses several square
kilometers. UNAM is the largest university in the Americas, serving about 314,000 students
with 35,000 aculty members and 30,000 administrative sta. Te city provides extensiveservices that include housing, transportation, public saety, health, administrative services, and,
o course, education. UNAM Digital is the smart city agenda or the university, which clearly
deserves to be considered a city.19
Citis Fac Considrabl Constraints Non Insurmountabl
Te media worldwide is not short on stories o public debt and municipal bankruptcy. Even those
governments unencumbered by public debate or voters potential wrath still ace political and
economic constraints: budget balancing, constituent concerns, and competing political agendas.
One municipal CIO pithily characterized his top I-related priority simply as survival. Despite the
universal appeal o many smart city initiatives, governments do not have carte blanche. But theseconstraints dont amount to insurmountable obstacles because:
Public-sector budget challenges exist, but I decision-makers fnd unds or some projects. Te scal challenges o the public sector are reected in Forresters surveys o I organizations
but not as dramatically as one might expect. More public-sector respondents see 2010 as a
challenging year compared with their counterparts in other industries 70% characterized
2010 as a challenging or somewhat challenging year versus 64% overall; only 26% o public-
sector respondents saw the year as a good one versus 33% overall (see Figure 4). But public-
sector I budgets appear more stable with ewer decreases than others and, in act, a ew
increases. More public-sector I decision-makers planned spending increases in industry-
specic soware applications and in networking equipment than those in other industries (seeFigure 5). Te combination o these categories suggests the adoption o network-based,
industry-specic initiatives to make these cities smarter.

Politics and potential turnover require alliance building. As a system o systems, a city isalso a system o stakeholders the mayors ofce, city council, the utilities authority, the
nurses union, the PA, among others, including constituents with competing interests that
can result in delays and even cancellation o projects. In many cases, public-sector projects are
controlled by politicians; they are beholden to voters and campaign supporters, ace regular
elections, and manage limited resources. Te value propositions and business cases o projects
are thus subject to political interpretation. In Indiana, a new governor canceled a $1.3 billion
deal signed in 2006 with IBM to overhaul the states welare system on the grounds that it
was a awed concept.20 Te Kochi smart city project in Kerala, India has been in planning
or nearly 10 years; the project has been hindered by existing regulation designed to support
the tech industry as well as other controversies and conict between developers and the local
government.21 Vendor strategists can mitigate such obstacles by identiying the larger ecosystem
o stakeholders and casting a wide net o alliances. Pursuing specic projects that appeal to
constituents also provides political benets. For example, elenica helps governments in LatinAmerica implement E911 initiatives that have broad political appeal, as saety is a perennial
voter concern.
Te threat o social unrest can be an impetus or new policy initiatives. In the public sector,the stakeholders o a project include the broader public. While ear o constituent dissatisaction
and opposition can be an obstacle to new projects, it can also be a driver o smart initiatives.
Chinas Blue Sky Education initiative, or example, is designed to alleviate the disparity in the
availability o qualied education between well-developed cities and poorer regions o China.
As cities grow and standards o living improve in China, constituents in rural areas increasingly
sense the disparity in services. Te Ministry o Education designated 21 pilot schools in which
they trained teachers and technicians to use and maintain network-based classrooms. Teycollected educational materials across multiple academic subjects and shared them remotely
with the pilot schools. Other countries have shown an interest in the program, with two cities
and our schools in India starting pilot programs.22
Overcoming inertia requires a solid value proposition and hard sell to some stakeholders.IC vendors are used to hearing, Tats how weve always done it, Were not goaled on
it, or, Were not accountable or the outcome, only the administration o the process rom
prospective local government customers. Overcoming public-sector inertia requires a value
proposition that clearly demonstrates a projects ability to make citizens lives and local
administration easier and better. Te automation o processes that enable case workers toprocess applications more quickly, or to audit a program more eectively, provides incentives or
recalcitrant administrators.

The SMART CITy OPPORTUNITy FOR TeCh VeNDORS SeRVICeS AND PRODUCTS
Cities and their private-sector partners will invest in all layers o IC inrastructure in order to
realize smart city initiatives (see Figure 6). And, technology vendors have and will continue to
actively pursue these opportunities to map their products and services to the goals and initiatives o
smart cities (see Figure 7). Particular hotspots or growth will be:
Consulting services or city governments. Cities ace myriad issues and as many (or more)vendors with solutions to sell. In some cases, city leaders are seeking help to develop their
overarching vision, dene objectives, and design a road map, architecture, and integration
plans. Tese engagements oen start with a vision or what type o city they would like to
be: a business hub, a tourist and heritage destination, or a manuacturing or retail center.23
For other cities, the starting point is an obvious, acute problem like trafc congestion that
requires an urgent redress o transportation management. In both cases, and others in between,
technology integrators and consultants are devising approaches and partnerships to help urbanpolicymakers choose where to start identiying specic planning objectives, prioritizing
initiatives, and segmenting a big plan into easible, more aordable steps. For example, IBM
Global Services oen takes a top-down approach, working with city leaders to help them map
out a long-term plan, starting with their vision or the city. Others, such as Accenture, work
outwards rom a more ocused initiative, such as smart grid and smart metering, and then
expand to a broader vision o a smart city.
Networking, telecommunications, and other hardware inrastructure. Te oundation osmart city initiatives is typically a communications backbone to support the collection and
transer o data. For new smart cities, creating broadband access to all residential and business
locations is the rst order o business. Cisco provided the networking inrastructure to wire
every square inch o Songdo IBD, a new smart city in South Korea.24 Existing cities also invest
in networking and telecom inrastructure, oen starting with municipal Wi-Fi. Te city o
rikala in Greece oers a ree Wi-Fi network covering the whole city via 34 nodes across the
city. Logicalis, a systems integrator with a strong ocus on IC and networking deployments,
deployed a common public-sector broadband network in Wales; it initially served the education
district, the healthcare district, and 22 local councils but is currently expanding to emergency
services and other public-sector constituents. Another network element is the oundation or a
smart electrical grid. RFID, sensors, and video cameras also leverage the network to deliver real-
time data or smart initiatives in transportation and public saety.
Middleware inrastructure. All smart city initiatives require middleware to link physical assetmonitoring with databases and analytical engines. Tese run the gamut rom identity and
access management to application, Web, and portal servers that power citizen services and Web
sites and to integration soware that ensures a single view o the citizen and real-time updates
o inormation across city systems. Cities are leveraging communications applications like

Microso OCS and Google Apps to increase collaboration across departments and interaction
with constituents. And, content management soware enables the coordination and reresh o
content across multiple city administration Web sites both internal and external. Business
analytics soware, such as IBMs Cognos portolio and Oracles Hyperion portolio, enablesanalysis o the data generated by the sensors, cameras and networks in order to improve
decision-making and better tailor the services available across the city.
Sector-specifc applications and solutions. All technology components rom networkingand hardware to middleware and applications come together in sector-specic solutions,
which address a particular slice o the smart city challenge in an integrated ashion. Large
solutions vendors oer a portolio o such capabilities, such as IBMs Smart ransportation,
Smart Public Saety, and other oerings. GEs imagination concept provides sector-specic
applications or smarter cities through programs like Healthymagination electronic
medical records, image sharing and workow, and eHealth real-time collaboration and
Ecomagination solutions to reduce the water use, carbon ootprint, and energy costs o
cities. GE located its rst Ecomagination center in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, as part o a larger
partnership with the Abu Dhabi government to accelerate the development and implementation
o new energy solutions in the region.
Smart city governance and city management. Managing a system o systems and the solutionsthat integrate them is not easy. Siemens I Solutions and Services couples its extensive array
o sector-specic solutions with the tools to manage them, like the City Cockpit a real-
time dashboard or monitoring city systems, including an online city hall, budgeting and
accounting, and electronic payment and access cards.25 At the other end o the vendor spectrum,
MetricStream also oers solutions to help city authorities manage smart city policies andensure the necessary controls and procedures are in place or better governance. Coming rom
a background in governance, risk, and compliance, the MetricStream approach enables cities
to address complaint management, energy policy management, building management, city
disaster and emergency management, as well as healthcare, transportation, and nancial policy
management.26
Systems integration. Many systems integrators and service providers are going beyond thedene, design, develop, and deploy oerings or specic smart city initiatives by integrating
multiple initiatives or by oering to manage and run them on behal o city administrations.
Accenture clearly sees the integration opportunity; as it describes it, Many cities are doing
isolated initiatives but the aggregate benets get lost i it is not all integrated.27 Having started
with smart grid projects, it recognizes the need to get the city itsel involved, rather than just the
electrical company or local utility, and to leverage common inrastructure across city initiatives.

Despite the very visible pressures on city governments and services, the market or some smart
city solutions eatures more vendor push than city government pull at present. Tat is to say, tech
vendors are instrumental in driving technology solutions into the public sector and, specically, into
local governments. However, or smart city initiatives to be sustainable opportunities, tech vendors
must ground their strategies and solutions in the context o the cities and the systems within them.
Tis means developing new engagement and business models that start with the dynamics o city
administration and service provision, rather than with the capabilities o technology systems.

Crativ engagmnt Modls Will Strngtn Smart Initiativs
Te nancial prospects o cities across the globe vary dramatically. While some are unded through
sovereign wealth, as in many o the Gul States and parts o Asia, others are in dire straits. In many
countries, public nance is highly regulated, with bond measures subject to voter approval and long-
term vendor contracts subject to provincial approval and public scrutiny. As a result, identiying
unding sources and making tough prioritization decisions is a political challenge. Who is going to
pay and at what cost? One creative city council in the UK recently ran an online campaign asking
citizens what services the council should provide. Te catch was that respondents couldnt leave the
page until they had balanced the books by identiying the source o unding either tax increases,
program cuts, or asset sales. o help cities accelerate smart initiatives, tech vendors must pursue
creative engagement models, such as (see Figure 8):
Helping clients secure external unding. Regional banks such as the Asian Development
Bank and Inter-American Development Bank and investment unds oen provide undingor new I-based city initiatives. Organizations within the EU have provided unding or
Eastern and Southern European projects, such as rikala in Greece. Country-level development
banks have also been active in smart city investments. Estruturadora Brasileira de Projetos is a
joint venture o the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) and several private banks that help
Brazilian government entities und development o inrastructure projects. Vendors must be
aware o possible unding options to help potential clients explore alternatives and must help
negotiate i appropriate.
Identiying revenue-generating (or cost-cutting) initiatives. Revenue-generating initiatives and, ideally, sel-unding initiatives appeal to cash-strapped municipal governments and are
great rst projects. Fee collection or building permits, drivers license renewal, car
registration, property taxes, or other local taxes and electronic government procurement are
both candidates here. Adquira, a B2B commerce exchange, provides a local government solution
that enables cities in Spain to easily collect ees and taxes.29 Malaysia, South Arica, and
Argentina have invested heavily in IC as part o tax administration overhauls: South Arica
integrated multiple tax systems and streamlined processes; Malaysia enabled eFiling and other
online services.
Forming revenue-sharing agreements. Going a step urther, some cities give up the ranchiseor oer revenue sharing or a revenue-generating service, such as a toll road, high-speed rail, or
other ee collection services. For their part, tech vendors or service providers share the risk oinvestment by entering into the agreement. elenica has engaged in a number o projects on
a shared revenue basis, including a mobile parking program in San Juan, Argentina. Customers
pay or parking rom a prepaid balance or rom a local bank account via SMS; elenica will
also bill customers who are not on prepaid accounts. For the service, elenica charges the
local government a small xed ee per month plus a percent o the revenue generated.

Brokering public-private partnerships. Public-private partnerships come in many orms. In thecase o Saudi Arabias economic cities, the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA)
acts as a acilitator, regulator, and promoter, while private participation provides capital and acts as
land owner, developer, and even, eventually, the city services provider (see Figure 9). On the other
side o the world, as Brazil prepares or the Olympics, the BNDES has reached out to the private
sector to help und inrastructure development. Investment unding is targeted at 60% government
and 40% private, with BNDES announcing lines o credit or stadiums, public saety and security
projects, urban mobility/transportation projects, and hotel construction. In some cases, there will
be revenue sharing. For example, private developers will operate and generate revenues rom the
stadium or a period o time with rights to sell sponsorships, merchandise, and ood and beverages.
ech vendors are also engaging in partnerships: IBM and the Singapore Land ransport Authority
(LA) partnered to integrate IBMs rafc Prediction ool and LAs i-ransport System. 30 Te
joint project was then replicated in Ireland, enabling Singapores LA to generate revenue rom its
partnership and investment. Although a long-term investment, tech vendors see public-privatepartnerships as inevitable in a competitive global environment.
Enabling larger city I departments to become service providers. Some cities want tomonetize their own investments by oering services to others. For example, the City o
Cape own recently won approval to provide broadband services to smaller neighboring
municipalities with similar requirements but that wouldnt otherwise have the unding to
invest on their own. Now, Cape own envisions providing additional business applications as
a service to these cities. In this model, the larger municipality with excess capacity built in
rom the start oers shared services in a local government cloud. But, cities arent necessarily
in the business o selling I services. In the case o Cape own, the city wasnt interested in
implementing and on-boarding a municipality. It expects tech vendors, systems integrators, orservice providers to help with this.
Facilitating multicity initiatives. Economies o scale certainly lower the cost per user o an Iinvestment. Working with other cities or agencies enables smaller cities to undertake projects
otherwise outside o their budget; it allows larger cities to better justiy their investment,
especially i they are getting revenues rom the use o their inrastructure. Logicalis worked with
22 unitary authorities (district councils), health services, and the education sector in Wales to
create a common broadband network. Te implementation surpassed the projected number
o connections in the rst year, with the cost per connection alling with each subsequent
organization brought onto the network. In another example, Southwest One is a joint ventureset up between Somerset County Council, aunton Deane Borough Council, Avon and
Somerset Constabulary, and IBM to create efciencies in I procurement and delivery or
both back-ofce applications and customer-acing services. Southwest One expects to realize
savings o 150 million over a 10-year period through economies o scale, strategic procurement
practices, and operational efciencies.

Enabling data monetization. Instrumented systems within cities produce data. By exposing thedata that city systems capture and making it available or commercial use, cities can monetize
their investments in smart inrastructure. ransport or London (L) recently opened its doors
to the commercial use o large numbers o primary data sets and live eeds. Te newly available
data includes: ube and train trafc data; eeds rom live trafc cameras; Oyster card top-up
locations; pier and station locations; cycle hire locations; and riverboat timetables. L has also
announced plans to release urther inormation on bus stops, routes, timetables, and schedules.31
Access to this data represents an opportunity or developers to create travel applications based
on real-time inormation, or advertisers to predict the eyeballs passing specic locations, or
or real estate agents and developers to compare the potential value o alternative business or
building locations. Tese data-enabled services provide a potential source o revenue or the
data owners.
Vendors are using more traditional business models in smart city contexts as well:
Leasing and fnancing. Cities traditional unding option, bond nancing, oen isnt appropriateor technology investments: Bonds have a 15- or 20-year time horizon, whereas the reresh rate on
technology might be just three to ve years. More importantly, bond issues require voter approval.
Cities need to match the term o nancing with the type o product. Many tech vendors provide
nancing options to customers, and public-sector nancing is big business. IBM sees its global
nancing as a major competitive lever or its smart cities projects. It is not unding bridges but
maybe the sensors on them and is seeing signicant interest in vendor nancing options. HP
Financial Services also sees growth in the public sector, particularly as capital budgets shrink and
more I departments shi to opex-based business models. By nancing through a lease, cities
can also terminate and return the equipment i they dont have the money in subsequent years which is reassuring or both city leaders and their constituents.
Exchanging products and services or resources and reerences. Many vendors oer deepdiscounts to the public sector to secure product placement particularly in the case o higher
education. Universities oen act as a test bed or new products, trading the inconvenience o beta
testing and the obligation to take a call rom a potential customer or the associated price tag. ech
vendors get additional headcount or testing and (hopeully) a good reerence customer.
ailoring products to customers fnancial profles. While most cities do not have unlimited
resources, some are better endowed than others either due to sovereign wealth rom oil orother natural resources or due to a strong economic base. elenica approaches its product
portolio with two city proles in mind. For those cities with deeper pockets, external unding,
or oen more extensive economies o scale, elenica provides tailor-made solutions and has
implemented well over 100 custom-made smart city initiatives; Ceuta Digital is an example. For
smaller and less well-endowed cities, elenica has a portolio o standard solutions hosted
in elenica data centers. One example is its Localek tools, which include Web page design,
content management, and hosting and allow a local government to create its own Web site or
services to their citizens.

External investment Regional banks and investments funds such as the Asian Development Bank,Inter-American Development Bank and the Brazilian Development Bank, providefunding for public-sector IT initiatives.
Revenue-generating and cost-cutting initiatives, such as fee and tax collection orelectronic government procurement, can become self-funding and prove appealingboth for budgetary and political reasons.
Partnerships with a vendor, service provider, systems integrator, or even real estatedeveloper on a revenue-sharing basis can defray upfront costs and risks of a newinitiative.
Excess capacity from large municipal IT infrastructure or applications deployments canbe provided to neighboring cities or organizations, with the larger city IT departmentacting as a service provider or through a managed service provider.
Upfront agreements to pool resources and share infrastructure facilitate the launch of
large IT initiatives.
Traditional financing remains an alternative for the purchase of IT infrastructure,particularly hardware and networking, and provides flexibility in case of budgetshortfall or other political contingencies.
Exchange of product testing or customer references for new technologies is a way ofovercoming budget shortfalls, particularly for universities or research facilities withskilled developers and users.

6 Cities are becoming smarter, as governments, businesses, and communities increasingly rely on
technology to overcome the challenges rom rapid urbanization. What makes a smart city smart
is the combined use o soware systems, server inrastructure, network inrastructure, and client
devices which Forrester calls Smart Computing technologies to better connect seven critical cityinrastructure components and services: city administration, education, healthcare, public saety, real
estate, transportation, and utilities. Te concept o the smart city is pushing the CIOs in ederal, state, and
local governments and their technology teams to urther evaluate emerging technologies and engage with
key stakeholders within and outside o their organizations. o successully deliver on the smart city vision,
CIOs should have a clear understanding o what the smart city is, its key drivers, and their role in it. See the
February 11, 2010, Helping CIOs Understand Smart City Initiatives report.
7 Forrester denes Smart Computing as a new generation o integrated hardware, soware, and network
technologies that provide I systems with real-time awareness o the real world and advanced analytics
to help people make more intelligent decisions about alternatives and actions that will optimize business
processes and business balance-sheet results. See the December 4, 2009, Smart Computing Drives Te NewEra O I Growth report.

Arican Revenue Services] technical services division, knew that urgent action was needed: Organisations
were separately registered or income-tax, value added tax (VA), pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) and employee
insurance, and these organisations oen had multiple subsidiaries, each o which appeared as a separate tax
account in our systems. One company had 196 dierent points o tax registration. o provide a perspective
on the situation, it could take a member o the Revenue Service sta up to three weeks to consolidate
the tax inormation associated with a major South Arican corporation, simply because we needed to
