Introduction

Challenge 1 - People-oriented city (UPB)

Universidad Pontificia

Bolivariana


•System of checks and balances

•City as a dynamic and heterogenous network

•The only posible way to secure the long-lasting results

•Rethink sustainability and innovation

Qualitative research


Sustainability and resilience•Possibility for the future (Deleuze)

•Diversity oriented (the value shift)

•“Resilience from such perspective is seen as ‘the capacity to withstand disturbance is not just a question of how long the status quo can be maintained, but how we might evolve to dwell in this new world’” (Haley, 2008, p. 204, cited in Kagan, 2013).


Some problems•Extreme social segregation

•Classist mentality

•Lack of transparency

•Lack of the civil participation in the urban space organisation

•Lack of the direct and transparent dialogue between the general population and the

decision-making institutions

•Limited understanding of participation

Socioeconomic differences in urban mobility networks (Inclusive cities)

•Medellin is one of the most unequal cities in Latin America. Is urban mobility the same for all citizens?

•By using Origin-Destination Survey (2005) of Medellín, we’ve found differences according to socioeconomic strata

Challenge 2 - Digital transformation, open data and citizens participation (Ruta N)

Digital transformation and open data


In Colombia, less than 39% of companies use

the data they collect from customers, suppliers,

partners and the market for increase their

business performance.

Around 10% use the data to make innovative

decisions.

On the other hand, the data generated by the government have low

quality; only 10% of these datasets are appropriate

for analysis.


Ruta N took the challenge (last 2 years)

Local government of the City Metropolitan Area government


Medellín


With these two portals we want:

Improve their products and services

Create innovations make research


But this is a difficult task: companies do not want to share data, because they do not want to be exposed. Therefore, we have held workshops, data advice sessions to share the progress, ideas and new solutions around the data, and

we are also building data pilots. These data pilots are focused on interoperability and data integration, it is like

making data more breakable.


we are doing all these things because:

Medellin has one of the highest air pollution rates

in Colombia

Metropolitan Area makes a pact for air quality

looking to 2030

We have information available about air quality,

mobility, waste, congestion, economic

development, health and weather conditions


Finally, our main efforts:

Citizens without fears for sharing data and they understand the data

value

To generate data capabilities for collecting, treatment, transforming, visualization, and interoperability of

data.

Reduce air pollution


● Air quality and health○ Correlation between respiratory diseases according to the time of exposure to contaminants,

location, travel.○ How does the quality of the air impact the economic development of the city?○ How do mobility measures influence commerce or business activity in the city?○ What are the costs associated with the care of respiratory patients vs. the costs of reducing

pollutants?● Open data

○ how to make people understand what is open data and the value of data in their daily lives, without having to learn in detail about data and new information technologies?

○ What capacities should be generated in the organizations of the region in order to interconnect and open data in a safe and easily accessible way for the population?

Challenge 3 - Reduce vehicular congestion and pollution from data (UNAL)

Analysis of traffic pollutants dispersion by CFD and traffic simulation


•Air Quality is affected by pollutant from

traffic motion.

•Atmospheric conditions like wind

magnitude and direction affect

pollutants dispersion.

•Simulation software will help to predict

pollutants behavior under controlled

environment.

Introduction


Scenario:

•50 Street [Colombia]

•65 Avenue

Using:

-Wind Velocity

-Vehicle Demand

-Pollutants generation

Evaluate: Pollutants dispersion

Simulation experiment


Traffic simulation with SUMO


CFD: Geometry

•The geometry scenario was

constructed with SALOME.

•There are boundary conditions

that evaluate the street as a

pollutants source


CFD:Mesh

•The geometry scenario was

constructed with SALOME.

•There are boundary conditions

that evaluate the street as a

pollutants source


CFD results


Urban traffic emissions analysis in large-scale scenarios

of Medellín


Projecting the edge emissions into the centroids using belonging functions


Results: CO emissions in peak and valley hours

Challenge 4 - ECSIM - Economic Development: Innovation as a strategy of social inclusion1. Brief description of the Challenge:

●Since 2004, Medellín, supported by the document " If Antioquia Learns There Will Be a Future: Scientific and Technological Innovation Agenda" (Part 1, Part 2), Set itself the challenge of transforming the city's economy by learning new activities that generate higher value goods, based on knowledge, while starting a virtuous process of social inclusión. For 15 years in several governments, this strategy has become the axis of the social and economic development policy. Ruta N was created to be the leading entity in the development of this strategy.

Challenge 4 - ECSIM - Economic Development: Innovation as a strategy of social inclusion1. Brief description of the Challenge:

●The advances have been important: the companies of the city have been transformed and nowadays there are several of the most important Latin American companies in the sectors of energy, insurance, finance, construction materials, food, among others. The per capita GDP has multiplied fivefold from 2.200 dollars in 2002 to 11.300 in 2017, and unemployment halved from 21% to levels of 10%. ●Despite these achievements, problems of poverty persist in the city, and as a consequence a high level of inequality. The challenge of inclusive development is a complex problem that is constantly reinvented. The goal is to mark out from innovation a process of social inclusion that activates and integrates the generation of well-being to the 30% of the population with the lowest income, that due to limitations in human and social capital, is kept in a trap of poverty and vulnerability.

1.Development Simulation: The year 2001, within the project Antioquia Siglo XXI, and specifically in the development of line 4 of the PLANEA: Revitalization

of the Economy, the first simulations of economic development of Antioquia were made to the year 2020. In Figure the Two scenarios: the decision to

innovate and transform the productivity of companies would lead to a renewed society and its effect on GDP growth, employment, exports, investment and

domestic consumption.

Subsequently, in 2010, the vision was made in 2032, within the construction exercise of the Antioquia Competitiveness Plan. In this exercise new future

scenarios were built, two of them are presented in Figure 15. On the one hand, the simulations emulate the period 2003 2010, and from there simulate a

path of growth based on the level of productivity and innovation achieved reach the economy. GDP growth and the reduction of unemployment are

sustainably higher in the scenario of strengthening innovation.

10. What are the key research questions to be addressed for this challenge?

●How to generate innovative strategies to increase the skills and knowledge of young people in the city in terms of new technologies?●What capacity building infrastructures does the city require? (such as high-speed networks, augmented reality training centers)●How can we activate Smart Mobility as a public strategy of inclusion and social cohesion?●How can the city promote entrepreneurial strategies that lead to greater results in innovation and allow greater inclusivity?
