Pollution more Energy Consumption more water usage but waste cities are supposed to help cope with these problems projects are popping up everywhere for instance in nigeria south korea india or malaysia a livable city that can think for itself how does this work like this for example. Visions of the future this is a smart city as imagined by Tech Companies and. Regular streetlights are replaced. Which connect to other internet of things devices and provide broadband thanks to dr accidents hardly ever happen. And robots deliver goods even coffee. In this future city solid grows underground. And Virtual Reality make processes more efficient. One example is that. It can be assisted by the control center and tech helps to find and correct system errors to prevent damage before it happens. Sounds fantastic but in order for these ideas to become reality technical preconditions are essential a central role for also the new mobile Communications Standard 5 g. Its the engine for the internet of things and enables interconnected infrastructures on a grand scale an expert on smart cities is your. Hes a researcher at the institute for Technology Management at the university of st golomb and has published a book with guidelines for cities that want to become smart we want to know how do i make a city smart and why. We want to improve peoples lives. Thats how i would summarize the goal of a smart city. In order to do this its important for citizens to be able to properly explain what kind of city theyd like to live in. Thats the starting point and we can begin designing a smart city based on those demands. Imagine youre the mayor of the city and want to turn it into a smart city you have to consider the following. You need to make your city interconnected by adding fences that connect data for instance to cause a street to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring stations station throughout the. City is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. For the most part that means mobility systems housing system. Administrators Systems Energy systems Education Systems and so on anything affecting citizens in their ever. Day lives can be assigned a digital shadow. That simply collecting data is insufficient big data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared and analyzed. Based on this Small Solutions for usage it can be found. That only eliminate one someone is close. To magic driving restrictions when the air is heavily polluted anythings possible in the interconnected spots. To build a small city one must do 3 things connected devices collect data and assess this data to find solution for the citizens but how do i benefit from the smart city here. In spain the city saves taxes by using resources more efficiently with the help of sensors in public spaces are only irrigated when theyre too dry. Garbage bins are only emptied once theyre full. And helsinki garbage trucks have become obsolete waste is transferred to underground collection points without noise or pollution. In Rio De Janeiro a Smartphone App is enabling residents to shape their surroundings the app smart favela create a 3 dimensional avatar of the shantytowns when City Planners come up with new ideas these can be looked at on the app and then citizens can vote on them. In palo alto in the u. S. Parking lots now have sensors these notify citizens whenever a parking space is free the citys traffic is constantly recorded. Smart robo cops are supposed to make do by safer the Police Robots are equipped with cameras and can find persons through facial recognition tech reports can be filed on a touchpad. And dry hole that ukraine citizens can view the incomes of Civil Servants and check on how politicians have. It in the city council. Sitting on business is laid bare their accounts using open data in the fight against corruption. Germany interconnected sensors assess the air quality and send this information to a data center which analyzes air pollution and if necessary reports bad air quality. In order for these systems to work vast amounts of data on all citizens are required but who ensures that the data is safe and who has access to it Different Solutions exist. Its essential for a smart city it provides the places for designing intelligent applications for the city but what about Data Protection. To be clear in a smart city there is no protection from data being collected but on the other hand its precisely this data that provides the basis for implementing and controlling the city system. As a result very careful and conscientious decisions need to be made regarding how the data is handled. If the city controls this can be advantageous when it comes to Data Protection but most cities lack the Technical Expertise to process and analyze the data for this reason many cities cooperate with big Tech Companies they have the capacity and the algorithms needed to work with data masses like google. Or the Alphabet Corporation it will construct an entire district of tarantulas with a new technology of course but the Data Sovereignty stays with corporations like alphabet which is problematic as they use our data to make money. An entire city state and naturally offers many opportunities so what to do experts argue for socalled data utilities these are publicly financed butt. Independent organizations they managed controlled access to data anyone interested in developing Smart City Solutions could use them no matter if city owned business local start up or big company a promising approach i think everyone should be able to profit from data and data utilities personal data is anonymised as a citizen i cannot influence which state of mine is being used. To cold a project by the European Union goes even further to empower individuals to control their data citizens themselves should decide whether personal information stays private or if its being shared in order to make the city smarter. Pilot projects have been running in amsterdam and barcelona since 2018 we believe that data should be understood as a Public Infrastructure as a common good water like electricity like transportation like the air. They also believe that citizens can responsibly deal with their own data. A desirable goal citizens should be in charge of their own data once private corporations or governments control data in the smart city where do you draw the line when it comes to surveillance an example from china. Taxi headquarters in shenzhen china the red cars occupy the green. Algorithms used right histories to predict which areas are likely to have a lot of customers and. Drivers can then directly head to these locations like. His car is part of the network consisting of 20000 taxis. And its equipped with an interior camera. Headquarters can watch him work and listen in on all conversations. In the beginning i was uncomfortable as i didnt really know much about it and felt. Instantly observed but actually theres no reason for concern the cameras protect the customers and drivers to. Privacy is ensured as not everyone can view the videos. According to the taxi headquarters all data is well protected and deleted after 72. 00. They say the system is great for educating drivers and the footage can be used to settle conflicts complaints the taxi provider also says customers complain less frequently and that most likely cameras as do drivers who are now less worried about being threatened but the police also has access to the videos how freely people really converse and the taxis. Another problem Street Parking lots. Are connected to the internet and offer potential gateways for hackers theoretically is all it takes to shut down the citys central servers and cyber terrorists could go even further. Demonstrates how to protect oneself. In terms of Digital Administration estonia be. A stone ians can vote online most all Public Services are digitally accessible but this also increases vulnerability. In 2007 estonia was targeted by Cyber Attacks from a Global Network of connected bots. Both Online Banking and government websites where effect it. Has implemented annual International Training on fighting attacks from hackers they organized by nato inside the defense and over 20 nations the military and Tech Companies take. A look. The question is when you. Go to court. Because of that. Or changing your. They cite as a cure it is also crucial for small cities they are becoming a steadily increasing economic factor Tech Companies use small cities around the world to test their future technologies the big question is does this benefit the citizens to point out importance to me who controls the applications and who owns the data we need to find responsible solutions and the citizens interest whats your opinion would you like to live this way i was not is your city join the discussion im looking forward to your feedback by phone now and c.
