Smart Citiesfor AllInclusive Innovation Playbook

Foreword:Chris PenrosePresident of Internet ofThings Solutions, AT&TWe’re proud to have supported the development of this important new resource for Smart Cities.At AT&T, we continuously look for ways we can use the power of our network to build a bettertomorrow. One way we bring that to life is through our Smart Cities solutions. By using Internet ofThings (IoT) innovations, we’re helping to transform cities, improve sustainability, and enhance thelives of the people who live there. We are committed to bringing Smart City benefits to all citizens,including aging adults and those living with disabilities. From transportation to public safety tosmart lighting, our vision is to build a more inclusive Smart Cities ecosystem. It’s part of our IoTfor Good mission to use technology to address global challenges and engage all citizens for thegreater good.Karen TamleyCommissioner of theMayor’s Office for Peoplewith Disabilities, ChicagoThe Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) is working to make Chicago the mostaccessible city in the nation on behalf of residents and visitors with disabilities. Innovation andtechnology are key to success. Chicago is leveraging technology to enhance delivery of cityservices through easy, reliable, cost-effective, and secure access to information. As our citybecomes smarter, we are looking to our technology partners and our innovation ecosystem toinclude a focus on accessibility and digital inclusion as they develop products, services, andsolutions. We were pleased to partner with G3ict, AT&T, and other partners to develop thisInclusive Innovation Playbook. Cities can take the steps outlined in the Playbook to create acommitment to innovating technologies that work for everyone.1

Victor CaliseCommissioner of theMayor’s Office for Peoplewith Disabilities, New YorkCityThe New York City Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) is committed to making NewYork the most accessible city in the world. As part of our efforts, we are leveraging technologicaladvancements to improve accessibility in all facets of life. For example, the fully accessible LinkNYCkiosks have transformed the way the nearly one million New Yorkers with disabilities receiveinformation. The City’s first-ever Digital Accessibility Coordinator reviews agency websites and otherdigital content to ensure that everything we put out is fully accessible. Technology has the potentialto truly change the way people interact with each other and their environment. The needs of peoplewith disabilities are too often left out of new innovations, which is why the disability communityneeds to be included in every step of the design process. Tools such as this Playbook can providebest practices to ensure that accessibility is at the forefront of inclusive technologies that work foreveryone.James ThurstonVice President forGlobal Strategy &Development, G3ictIn 2016, G3ict partnered with World Enabled to launch the Smart Cities for All global initiative. Thework of Smart Cities for All confirms that today the exciting technologies and smart solutions thatcities around the world are deploying do not work for everyone, including persons with disabilitiesand older persons. Smart Cities have a culture of innovation. Smarter Cities have a culture ofinclusive innovation. At G3ict, we believe a key to closing the digital divide for persons withdisabilities is to work with cities to support their innovation ecosystems in being more diverse andcreating exciting technology solutions that are accessible. We believe there is both a human rightscase and a business case for inclusive innovation. The goal of this Inclusive Innovation Playbook isto help cities infuse inclusion into their innovation ecosystem. We are grateful to all our partners fortheir contributions to this new tool. In particular, we are thankful for the ongoing collaboration andsupport of the AT&T Corporation. Their leadership, expertise, and commitment to cities that areboth innovative and inclusive have been invaluable to G3ict and Smart Cities for All.2

AcknowledgmentsThe development of this Inclusive Innovation Playbook has been possible as a result of the strategicguidance, leadership, and generous funding of AT&T.As part of the development of this Playbook, Smart Cities for All held expert roundtable discussionsin both Chicago and New York City. We are grateful to the cities of Chicago and New York for theirpartnership and commitment. We would like to thank the hosts for the two roundtable discussions,City Digital/UI Labs and Grand Central Tech.Smart Cities for All benefited from close collaboration with both CIV:LAB and FrancesWestCo indeveloping this Playbook.This Inclusive Innovation Playbook is possible due to the insights, experiences, and knowledge of alarge number of global experts and organizations.We would like to acknowledge their critical contributions:Nick Angelou, International AcceleratorQuemuel Arroyo, NYC Department ofTransportationAaron Bangor, AT&TSheilah Birgen, iHub NairobiAlby Bocanegra, NYC Mayor’s Office of theChief Technology OfficerBeth Bond, BoschAriel Brassil, AT&TVictor Calise, NYC Mayor’s Office for Peoplewith DisabilitiesEric Cardena, MassChallenge MexicoAnnie Carrillo, HearColorsMonica Duhem, HearColorsDanielle DuMerer, City of ChicagoAlex Elegudin, Metropolitan Transit AuthorityJonathan End, Seamless DocsTim Fleming, AT&TTom Gray, Capalino CoBridget Hayman, Access LivingAdam Hecktman, MicrosoftRobinson Hernandez, Grand Central Tech/Urban Tech HubShaina Horowitz, New LabJohn Kirkwood, NYC Department of EducationMicah Kotch, Urban-XDenis Kuleshov, Sensor-Tech LaboratoryJason Kunesh, City of ChicagoBradley Lane, AT&TDavid Leopold, City Digital/UI LabsHong Yu Li, Accessibility Product AllianceEric Lipp, Open Doors OrganizationThomas Logan, Equal EntryPat Maher, ITKAN meetupLindsey-Paige McCloy, NYC Mayor’s Office ofSustainabilityNyasha Mutsekwa, Adapt ITSurayyah Odwin, NYC Department ofEducationAnnie Parker, MicrosoftAnita Perr, Ability ProjectJosef Pevsner, My Blind SpotMark Peysakhovich, Open TaxisVictor Pineda, World EnabledJamie Ponce, City Digital/UI LabsMeera Raja, City Digital/UI LabsAlbert Rizzi, My Blind SpotYashira Robles, City of Chicago Department ofAviationOscar Romero, NYC Mayor’s Office of theChief Technology OfficerJim Saber, NextEnergySamir Saini, NYC Department of InformationTechnology and TelecommunicationsPaul Schroeder, AiraElizabeth Segal, AT&TRoman Smith, AT&TSimon Sylvester-Chaudhuri, Civ:LabKaren Tamley, City of ChicagoYuval Wagner, Access IsraelSabri Walei, NYC Department of InformationTechnology and TelecommunicationsFrances West, FrancesWestCoRobin White, AT&TKun Zhang, Accessibility Product AllianceIsabel Cristina Zaragoza Ayala, FundacionTelevisa3

Playbook ObjectivesThe Smart Cities for All global initiative is working to eliminate the digital divide for persons withdisabilities and older persons in cities and urban environments worldwide. The objective of thisInclusive Innovation Playbook is to help cities, their partners, and stakeholders define inclusion aspart of the technology innovation process and integrate it into urban innovation ecosystems (e.g.incubators, accelerators, investors, etc.). Other entities with an interest in both innovation andinclusion (e.g. universities, economic development zones, national governments, etc.) will alsobenefit from the Playbook.This Playbook is intended to support a range of people working across multiple roles in urbaninnovation ecosystems. This includes entrepreneurs, developers who design technology and SmartCity solutions, policy makers, incubator and accelerator program managers, investors in technologyinnovation, civic hacking community leaders, and neighborhood activists. It will also be of interestto technology suppliers to Smart Cities, Smart City program managers, academics researchinginnovation and Smart Cities, and disability organizations and advocates working to make innovationand Smart Cities more inclusive.This Playbook has been designed to complement other tools that make up the Smart Cities for AllToolkit. The toolkit serves to enhance understanding of how cities can be both smarter and moreinclusive as they invest in, develop, and deploy technology. Each tool can be used either standaloneor in conjunction with others.Innovation and Smart Cities are Leaving People BehindTechnology and innovation 1 are transforming our world but not benefiting everyone. Technologycontinues to advance rapidly into our daily lives. According to the International TelecommunicationUnion (ITU), there are more than 8.16 billion mobile telephone subscriptions in the world today.That is several hundred million more subscriptions than there are people in the world. Many of thesubscriptions are in developing economies. More than 70% of youth worldwide are online today 2.Cities around the world are undergoing a dramatic digital transformation. They are using technologyproducts and smart solutions in creative ways to: allow people to report issues like potholes, waterleaks, or broken traffic lights; create direct and personalized channels to issue city alerts; facilitatedigital or contactless payments for city services; and allow people to remotely manage court casesand legal proceedings. The market for the broad range of technologies to support this digitaltransformation of cities will reach 2.5 trillion by 2025 3 . All of these metrics and trends continue togrow and are spurred on by ongoing technological innovation.Technology products, services, and innovations can be designed to be used by a wide range ofusers, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. Accessibility and universal design make it easierfor anyone to see, hear, and use a technology device or service and to customize their digitalenvironment according to their own preferences, needs, and abilities. However, we know that todaytechnology and innovation do not benefit everyone. In particular, innovations and technologysolutions often are not designed to work for the more than one billion persons with disabilitiesaround the world. For example, according to the G3ict Digital Accessibility Rights Evaluation (DARE)Index, the majority of countries around the world, 55%, have no policy for accessible government4

websites and e-government services. Just 35% of countries today have a policy to promote internetuse by persons with disabilities. And only 33% have policies today to ensure the accessibility ofmobile telephony 4 .The impact on daily life today of a lack of inclusion and accessibility in technology and innovationcan be easy to see, especially in Smart Cities. For example, a digital payment system that times outand does not allow a sufficient period to read and process content might not work for a person witha cognitive disability. A mobility as service solution for planning and executing a trip across severaldifferent modes of transportation that does not provide alternative text for non-textual informationlike graphs and pictures might not work for someone who is blind. A kiosk for voting, makingpayments, or printing tickets that does not have appropriate height and spacing of the screen andcontrols or physical clearance might not work for someone in a wheelchair.“It has never been more obvious to me that accessibility needs to become a FIRSTdesign principle. In the same way that the web underwent an overhaul making itstandard for all websites to be mobile friendly, it is time for the web to start makingaccessible websites the standard.Jonathon Ende, CEO of SeamlessDocsSeamlessDocs is an eSignature and formautomation platform specializing in workingwith government organizations to go paperless.Founded in 2011, it has quickly become a leadingGovtech company. As a startup, it has raised over 20M to build technology to help governmentscreate more beautiful and accessible onlineexperiences. It currently works with hundreds ofgovernments, ranging from large states to smalltowns and municipalities.But SeamlessDocs did not start out with a focuson accessibility as a market differentiator andcompetitive advantage. SeamlessDocs spentseveral years in a series of incubators, accelerators,and innovation programs across the UnitedStates. While they did have access to mentorsand training, digital inclusion and accessibilitywere not included explicitly or as a focus in theprograms. Only after graduating from theseinnovation programs, did SeamlessDocs decideto focus on accessible design and inclusion as abusiness opportunity. The company is committedto creating a beautiful front-end experience for“customers. They realized that accessible design isa best practice for user experience. The companyalso made the strategic decision to ensure thatthe one in four adults in the U.S. with a disabilitycould use their products and services.Once they identified the business opportunityand made digital accessibility their mission,SeamlessDocs took several key steps to committo making accessibility an integral part of theirphilosophy. Through development upgrades,they made sure all their products comply withglobal ICT accessibility standards. The companyalso provides monthly training programs foremployees on accessibility and inclusion.SeamlessDocs, a medium-sized and growingcompany, has hired a Chief Accessibility Officerto oversee their accessibility program and ensuretheir ongoing commitment. The company evenmade accessibility a key part of their marketingefforts, producing webinars, infographics, listicles,white papers, and blog posts that demystifywhat accessibility is, why it should matter, andhow governments can become more digitallyaccessible.5

In fact, according to a Smart Cities for All survey, 60% of global experts say Smart Cities arefailing persons with disabilities today. Just 18% of experts report that the Smart City initiativesfamiliar to them use international standards for ICT accessibility. Today’s innovation ecosystemsare not well prepared to improve on the existing digital divide for persons with disabilities. Theyare likely making it worse. Less than half, just 43%, of more than 175 entrepreneurs in technologyincubators worldwide that were surveyed in late 2018 and early 2019 had a strong understandingof accessibility and inclusion in their own product development and user experience (UX) designprocesses. And fully one-third of the entrepreneurs surveyed worldwide were not sure if persons withdisabilities could even use the technology products and solutions they are currently developing.Moving Forward – Building a More Inclusive Urban Innovation EcosystemAt Smart Cities for All, we believe that inclusive innovation 5 leads to technology products andsmart solutions that work better for everyone, including persons with disabilities and older persons.Closing the digital divide 6 for the disability and aging communities in Smart Cities will requireinfusing inclusion, accessibility, and universal design into the innovation of new technology solutionsat a scale much greater than is happening today. Because today’s technologies, products, services,and smart solutions for cities come from a broad range of suppliers and vendors, large and small andfrom around the world, it is imperative that the innovation process has a focus on accessibility andinclusion.In the White Paper, Smart Cities for All: A Vision for an Inclusive, Accessible Urban Future, AT&T andBusiness for Social Responsibility (BSR) outline four keys to success to ensure that Smart Cities arealso inclusive cities:1. Design for Inclusion2. Engage Partners and Stakeholders3. Promote Adoption of Technology, and4. Foster the Entrepreneurship EcosystemThis Inclusive Innovation Playbook builds on that important work by suggesting specific actions thatSmart Cities around the world can take to support success keys 1 and 4, i.e. ensuring that designfor inclusion is an integral aspect of entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. Importantly, thisPlaybook also points to specific actions related to success keys 2 and 3 as well, recognizing thatclosing the digital divide and engaging diverse communities are critical to inclusive innovation.6

Smart City InclusiveInnovation Playbook:What can cities do to help their innovation ecosystem be more inclusive and result in products,services, and solutions that are more accessible and work for everyone?The World Bank has identified five key factors 7 that are fundamental to the success and vibrancy ofa city’s innovation ecosystem. Each of these five factors may present accessibility barriers for personswith disabilities that must be addressed to improve inclusion. This Playbook suggests specific stepsacross each of the five factors that cities can take to make their innovation ecosystem more inclusive:1. People – are the fundamental element that allow innovation to happen. Innovation results fromthe work and interactions of people. People are the innovation talent pool and provide the importantsupport networks, e.g. as mentors, guides, and investors and are the testing ground for innovativeproducts and services. Diversity among people increases the potential for innovation.2. Economic assets - help transform ideas into practical innovation. Economic assets include: thesize, amount, and diversity of companies and businesses; universities and research and developmentfacilities; the maturity and size of the technology and creative industries; and the availability ofinvestment firms.3. Infrastructure - facilitates interactions among people and economic assets. Infrastructure supportsaccess to people and knowledge and important random interactions among people. It includestransportation, broadband access, office space, parks and venues for events, festivals, cafes,restaurants, and theaters, etc.4. Enabling environment – includes the city’s public policies and the government commitmentto promote innovation. Cities support the innovation ecosystem through a strong enablingenvironment, e.g. through policies and programs on open data, challenge programs, innovationpromotion and incentives.5. Networking assets - are important community-building activities such as skills training events,collaboration spaces, civic hacking communities, and mentoring programs, etc. These connectionsand communities sustain the social network of the ecosystem and help accelerate the ecosystem’sgrowth by increasing the interactions among actors in the ecosystem.The following Smart Cities for All Inclusive Innovation Playbook lays out five key “plays” that arebased on these five success factors from the World Bank. To define these five urban innovationinclusion plays, the Playbook draws from successful practices and insights from the private sector,government, and civil society. Cities that want to ensure their innovation ecosystem is inclusive andresults in products, services, and solutions that are more accessible and work for everyone can drawfrom among all five of the inclusive innovation “plays”.7

1Play One: Achieve Inclusive Innovation through PeopleThe People in a city are fundamental to innovation and their diversity increases thepotential for innovation. Yet, in most urban innovation ecosystems the innovationtalent pool and critical support networks do not include persons with disabilities. Thisis evident in the working paper, “How Inclusive is Innovation Policy?” from NESTA, aglobal innovation foundation, that looked into innovation policies worldwide. It foundthat while initiatives to encourage wider participation in innovation are common,they tend to focus on some groups more than others 8 . For example, efforts topromote greater gender representation are more common and efforts to promotegreater participation by persons with disabilities are less common. In fact, in theNESTA analysis, persons with disabilities were the least likely group to be targeted bygovernme

to technology suppliers to Smart Cities, Smart City program managers, academics researching innovation and Smart Cities, and disability organizations and advocates working to make innovation and Smart Cities more inclusive. This Playbook has been designed to complement other tools that make up the . Smart Cities for All . Toolkit.
