By2050, this figure is projected toincrease to 68%. Estimates showthat urbanisation, along with rapidpopulation growth, could see theworld adding an extra 2.5 billionpeople to urban areas by 2050.By 2040, the world is projectedto have 43 megacities with morethan 10 million inhabitants.While our cities are the engines ofglobal economic growth, accounting for more than 80% of GDPgenerated worldwide, the worldis failing to achieve SustainableDevelopment Goal 11 of ‘inclusive,safe, resilient, and sustainable cities’. Inequality is greater in urbanthan in rural areas, with the Ginicoefficient of income inequalityhigher in urban areas in 36 out of42 countries with data.Currently, cities are using aroundtwo-thirds of global energy andproducing 75% of greenhouse gasemissions. At the same time, climatic extremes, including floods,droughts, and storms have costly impacts on cities’ basic services, infrastructure, housing, humanlivelihoods, and health. Finally, it isestimated that annual resource requirements of urban areas are estimated to increase from 40 billiontonnes in 2010 to nearly 90 billiontonnes by mid-century, resulting inresource scarcity as well as environmental degradation, includingwater contamination and biodiversity loss.

The concept ofsmart, sustainable cities revolves aroundleveraging the advancement and prevalence of ICT in the transition towards sustainable development in the urban context.One of the most common applications ofICT in urban environments is the Internetof Things (IoT) and related big data applications.5Internet of ThingsThe IoT can be best described as a worldwide network of uniquely addressable interconnected objects, based on standardcommunication protocols. A smart environment is, therefore, one where our physical world is interconnected with sensors,displays, and computational elements embedded in everyday objects. The application of IoT is broad and includes improvedenergy efficiency, smart metering andsmart grid infrastructure, environmentalmonitoring and forecasting, precision agriculture, among others.Big dataThe term ‘big data analytics’ refers to anyvast amount of data that has the potentialto be collected, stored, retrieved, integrated, selected, pre-processed, transformed,analysed, and interpreted for discovering new or extracting useful knowledge.With the use of sophisticated and dedicated software applications and databasesystems, run by machines with very highprocessing power, large amounts of urbandata can be turned into useful knowledge.This, in turn, allows for well-informed decision-making and enhanced insights intovarious urban domains, such as transport,mobility, traffic, environment, water, energy, land use, planning, and design.Sensor technologyOne of the core enabling technologies ofthe IoT, sensor technology is utilised tocollect large masses of urban data thatserve as inputs for big data applications.Big data involves a wide variety of sensors— devices that detect or measure a physical property or some type of input fromthe physical environment — and then indicates or reacts to it in a particular way. Theoutput is a signal in the form of a humanreadable display at the sensor location orof a recorded data that can be transmitted over a network for further processing.Common sensors include: Location sensors (e.g. GPS)Optical/vision sensors (colour, IR, andUV)Light sensors (e.g. photocells)Sound sensors (e.g. microphones)Temperature sensors (e.g.thermometers)Pressure sensors (e.g. barometer)Motion sensors (e.g. speedometer)Identification and traceability sensors(e.g. RFID, NFC)ResilientResilience can be defined as “the ability tocope with, and recover from, disruption,and anticipate trends and variability in order to maintain services for people and protect the natural environment, now and inthe future”. Therefore, cities — which comprise physical and technological infrastructure and residents — survive shocks andstresses, people and organisations can accommodate these stresses in their day-today decisions, and institutional structurescontinue to support the capacity of peopleand organisations to fulfil their aims.InclusiveIn order for future cities to provide opportunities and better living conditions for all,they need to be inclusive spatially, socially,and economically, specifically: Spatial inclusion: Urban inclusion requires citizens to have access to affordable necessities including water and sanitation;Social inclusion: An inclusive city needsto guarantee equal rights and participation for all, including the most marginalised;Economic inclusion: Creating jobs andproviding residents with the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of economicgrowth is a vital component of overallurban inclusion.SustainableFor cities to be sustainable, the ‘take-makewaste’ economic framework — where natural resources are taken from the environment, converted into goods and services,from which large amounts of waste is returned back into the environment, causingirreversible environmental damage — needsreplacing with the circular economy model.Under this concept, resources are kept inuse for as long as possible, values are extracted from them while in use, and products and materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of each service life.The ultimate aim of the circular economy model is the decoupling of economicgrowth from resource use. The notion ofdecoupling is that economic output shallcontinue to increase at the same time asrates of increasing resource use and environmental impact are slowed, and in timebrought into decline.Back to the indexarrow-circle-up

The tasksurely isn’t a straightforward one andrequires a wider range of collaborativeapproaches, supported by a broad variety of stakeholders (private businesses, not-for-profit organizations, socialenterprises, citizens etc.).Together with its 350 global membersand partners, FIWARE Foundationdrives the definition and the opensource implementation of key openstandards that enable the developmentof portable and interoperable smartdigital solutions in a faster, easier,interoperable and affordable way,following an open source approachthat avoids vendor lock-in, whilst alsonurturing FIWARE as a sustainable andinnovation-driven business ecosystem.Why are standards important? Common standards for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and datamodels are at the heart of platformsand digital infrastructures, enabling theinteroperability and portability of solutions. In order to successfully make itinto the market today, new smart services and solutions must be able tosecurely communicate with other services and devices, traversing a multitude of infrastructures and systems.This way, solution providers benefitfrom knowing that their solutions canbe connected with other applicationsor pieces of software — already developed and widely available — or replicated for multiple customers with rather low adaptation costs.Over the next pages*, Franck Le Galland Philippe Cousin, Andrea Gómezand Antonio Jara, Francisco Salas,Jim Craig, Pieter De Jong, Paolo Nesi,Spiros Mazarakis, Laura Machado andMarcos Marconi, from the ever-growingFIWARE Community elaborate on howFIWARE has become a leading voice inestablishing the fundamental contextmanagement standards needed forthe creation of interoperable platformsand digital infrastructures. The storiesfeatured below are just some of themany practical examples of howFIWARE, with solutions ranging fromtraffic management to air pollution,is helping cities to deliver their digitalstrategy and drive the advancement ofan information society, in turn, leadingcities into the smart digital future.*Disclaimer: The following views and opinions expressed in this publication are those of the authors.They do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of FIWARE Foundation or Our Future Water.

However, the bad news for them is that it will be hard toexploit the true power of data if no emphasis is placed on the validity of data, crossdata models or additional information such as semantics, which has the potentialto turn data into powerful assets.By Franck Le Gall and Philippe Cousin, Easy Global Market (EGM)To enable the power of data, EGM, in line with the FIWARE opensource model and the ETSI NGSI-LD specification, has developedan intelligent and context-aware data broker, Stellio. It was ETSI,the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and a strategic partner of FIWARE, that once stated “data without contextare meaningless”, and we could not agree more.Driving the materialization of global, openstandards, based on open sourceThe product is in line with ETSI’s Industry Specification Group (ISG CIM), whichwas born out of a request from the European Commission towards the definitionof a standard Context Information Management (CIM) API with FIWARE NGSI asa candidate. In the beginning of 2019, theso-called ETSI NGSI-LD API specificationscame into the market.This standard provides a cross-domaindata model built upon semantic web(linked data) principles as well as a query-subscribe API, allowing different services to dynamically exchange contextualizedinformation. It supports centralized, federated, and distributed architecture to fitany deployment plan within or acrossorganizations.Image provided courtesy of EGMThe recent months have witnessed a rapidincrease of interest to adopt the NGSI-LDspecification, which is even now a European recommendation for the Living-in community.The Stellio broker is under active deployment and use with several partners andcustomers. The latest deployments are tooptimize water consumption in sport fieldsirrigation, reduce food waste within connected school canteens, optimize the facilities’ energy management or collect SmartMeter data to optimize water consumptionin a district.Next steps are being undertaken in theaqua3S and Fiware4Water research projects to build digital twins of water facilities(i.e. water network) dynamically connectedwithin the NGSI-LD infrastructure.Back to the indexarrow-circle-up

As part of this commitment,the Innovation Fund is dedicating 10billion Euros to reduce emissions, with60% of the budget dependent on theresults.Our Future Waterfor cities striving to reduce pollution.HOPU’s solution allows cities to collect, analyze and visualize — in a simple manner — a large amount of environmental-related data (coming fromair quality monitoring, utilities, socialmedia, etc.). Currently in use, for example, in Bruges and Mechelen (Belgium), the solution offers clear indicators to facilitate the understanding ofthe environmental state within cities.Specialized in providing high-quality and contextual data about cities’environment, HOPU manufacturesIoT-based environmental monitoringdevices to measure gas pollution, particulate matter (pollen, dust), VOCs11(odors), weather, noise, and peopleflow. The company follows the FIWAREopen source approach and contextualizes their devices data with datasetsfrom water consumption (utilities), social networks, urban health, mobility,and socio economics, thereby creatingmodels on its impact, influence, andorigin of emissions.HOPU solutions have been developedhand in hand with decision-makers toensure that they are understandableand intuitive. The company is currentlyworking with 30 cities such asCartagena, La Palma (Spain) as wellas in flagship projects such as themonitoring of nanoparticle pollution inMadrid. Find out more here.A byproduct of this is cleaner air. Butbefore emissions can be reduced andair quality improved, establishing indicators to measure progress is key. Ensuring that actions are based on datais, therefore, vital. ICTs can help accomplish this in many ways. There aremany potential areas of application, including digital transport solutions, decentralised energy systems, and smartclimate-neutral communities.Climate change mitigation is a globalchallenge, and evidence-based plansare crucial to make it effective.

Then,something else stands out. Despitebeing one of Europe’s oldest cities,Málaga exhales modernity and digital innovation and for the past years,the city has moved away from simply being the gateway to the sunnyCosta del Sol.now home to the Technology Park inMálaga, which includes 630 companies and 20,000 employees,developing solutions for energy efficiency, urban services, communications and tourism. It is no wonderthe city has been awarded the titleof 2020 European Capital of SmartTourism (alongside Gothenburg).Revamped and revitalised, Málaga isIts achievements were not an over-Long-term planningOur Future Waternight success. They are the result of thecity’s ambitious smart and innovative vision, whose overall strategy is aligned withthe UN Sustainable Development Goals.Málaga’s forward-looking approach wasspearheaded by the 2009 Málaga SmartCity project and expanded by the city’s Innovation Strategic Plan 2018-2022 whichencourages the creation of solutions onurban life, citizen participation, e-government and open data projects focusing onmaking the city more innovative, inclusive,technological and smart.A city Powered by FIWARECommitted to providing useful data setsto its citizens, the city has initiated its ownOpen Data environment, which generates information sources, specifically data,which are open to the public and aboveall, can be downloaded by any company,professional individual or citizen, and usedfor any purpose.

We, inthe technology field at Red Hat, are workinghard to help in areas such as water stewardship, quality, and management. Cartagena,in southeastern Spain, exemplifies this commitment. Previously suffering from air quality and water shortages, the town now bettermanages its water supply and improved airquality.Smart, or impersonal?One of the challenges of technology is tobe easy to use, and ideally, invisible. Whendone right, this works well, with humans andmachines working in perfect harmony. Takentoo far, however, and it can leave us, humans,feeling powerless and frustrated, unable to“look inside” the proprietary box to understand why we got the result we did.I liked this article, by Anna Lisa Boni, Secretary-General, EUROCITIES, where she usesthe term “City-led, citizen-focused.” In thetechnical world, we refer to this as “user-centric” design, and in the public sector world“citizen-centric” design. We are seeing moreand more of this co-creation, with a blurringof lines between “business” and “technical”,as exemplified by the rise of the “citizen developer and the tech-savvy process expert”.Image by InfoCilentoWater as a meeting point?History shows that water is vital to ourexistence and central to communication.From meeting at watering holes, to thedevelopment of towns and cities on rivers, and seafronts, water has provided thecore around which major cultural, economic, and recreational activities have evolved.An ecosystem of interconnected devicesand sensors is most effective when thereis a common, global purpose - like water- opening up avenues for advancing outcome-based innovation that improves ourquality of life.Our smaller scale, modern-day equivalentcould be “water cooler” conversations.

Then, beopen, build a community and collaborate. This approach is integrated intothe EU Horizon2020 research and innovation project, SCOREwater.By Pieter de Jong, Future City FoundationThe SCOREwater mission is to connect governments, universities,urban developers, citizens, and technology professionals within thewater sector to develop and test water-related smart digital solutions and best practices to strengthen cities’ resilience.So far, Amersfoort (Netherlands), Barcelona (Spain), and Gothenburg (Sweden) are experiencing this approach, first-hand. Thesecities, with their varied climate and social conditions, cover most ofthe city typologies in Europe. Therefore, they are good places forSCOREwater validation. The Amersfoort case focuses on flood pre-With regards to the latter, their focus is onthe sewer system, which can be seen asan untapped source of information. Sewage contains valuable information aboutthe lifestyle habits and waste managementpractices of inhabitants. Amongst otherthings, this information can be used to:i) monitor at a fine spatial and temporalresolution the consumption pharmaceuticals;ii) prevent discharges from households ofwet wipes, oils, and greases to the sewersystem that damage the network and maycause blockages;iii) decrease sewer maintenance costs byhaving a well-monitored system that allows preventive maintenance to be carried out in order to reduce non-scheduledmaintenance.Building one data marketplaceLots of data are being gathered within thethree cities participating in the project.This data will be made accessible in one location, the SCOREwater data marketplace.This will help to ensure the continuity ofthe solutions being developed on top ofthis data.This data marketplace will combine heterogeneous data from various sourcesinto easy to use APIs by harmonizing andstandardizing the metadata and data, andpublishing them in an easy to use smartwater platform. This marketplace will transcend the SCOREwater project and makeit accessible for all parties working towardsa water-smart society.

Predictionsof diffusions for particulates in cities allow citizens to plan their walksand jogs more efficiently (see TRAFAIR CEF Project of EuropeanCommission).Predictions and reconstructions of traffic patterns help inhabitantssave time and fuel when reaching their final destination (see Sii-Mobility MIUR). Smart solutions can make predictions of parking andbike-sharing services, allowing final users to reduce the time spentsearching for a parking spot, whilst also estimating, in real-time, airquality indexes, and monitoring other environmental variables. TheSnap4City framework enables the creation of such smart solutionswith dashboards and mobile applications that help cities in their transition to sustainable and resilient sentient cities.Several countries in Europe such as Italy, Belgium, Sweden, France,and, Spain, are already positively impacted by dashboards for decision-makers and city operators, both on the web and in controlrooms (see REPLICATE EC), mobile apps and special IoT devices created to ease the lives of millions of citizens Europe-wide. One of suchIoT devices is a solution to monitor the flow of people in Antwerp,helping city operators and citizens to identify the days and times ofthe heaviest flow.Image provided courtesy of Snap4CityIn this regard, DISIT Lab of the Universityof Florence, the main Snap4City operator,supports the development of data-drivenstrategies that contribute to the European Resilience Management Guidelines forcities (see RESOLUTE EC). The guidelineshave been made operative by the implementation of data flows from IoT devices,open data towards Snap4City dashboards,and other smart decision support toolsbased on FRAM and systems thinking.Powered by FIWARE, Snap4City sees theadded value of open standards and therefore exploits FIWARE components, suchas Orion NGSI-v2 Context Broker, one ofthe FIWARE NGSI Context Brokers. Opensource approaches support cities in theirtransformation journey with minimum effort but great impact. FIWARE NGSI Context Brokers enable the gathering of datafrom a large range of IoT devices and networks, independent from the data domain.In addition, open source tools to implement smart city solutions can be used fromthe cloud or installed in the city cloud, andthey are GDPR compliant, by ensuring datasovereignty.More information on the above scenariosin a Snap4City context is accessible via theSnap4City website.Back to the indexarrow-circle-up
