You know we have a totally ridiculous sized view of nature david and this is Climate Change phrases sex how freeness increase books you get smarter for free do you know where you books on. Let me look at. The city of the future. Its entirely interconnected to will regulate traffic save energy 5 crime assisted by big data and the internet all things brave new world or rather surveillance nightmare what because it is look like and do we really want to live there all topics today on ship. More than half of the worlds population lives in cities and this number is steadily rising resulting in an enormous challenge. More people want traffic more pollution more Energy Consumption more water usage more waste small 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 urban planning is regular street lights are replaced by smart poles which connect to other International Things devices and provide broadband thanks to dr alice cause accidents hardly ever happen. And drones and robots deliver the goods even coffee. In this future city solid grows underground. Meant it and Virtual Reality make processes more efficient. One example is that firefighters on duty 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 so the new mobo 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 you and i was hes a researcher at the institute for Technology Management at the university of st gallen 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 a. 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 small. You have to consider the following. You need to make your city interconnected by adding census data for instance to cause a street to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring station 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 Systems administrators Systems Energy systems Education Systems and so on anything affecting citizens in their everyday lives can be assigned a digital shadow. That simply collecting data is insufficient data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared and. Based on this solutions for usage we can be. Someone is. Driving restrictions when the air is heavily polluted anythings possible 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 public spaces are only here a gated when theyre too dry. Garbage bins are only emptied once theyre for. In 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 please 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 voted in the city council. The city owned businesses laid bare their accounts using open data in the fight against corruption. In darmstadt 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. The data is essential for the city it provides the basis 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 it. Precisely the data that provides the basis for implementing and controlling this city system. As a result of very careful and conscientious decisions need to be made regarding how the data is handled. If the city controls. 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. Like. The Alphabet Corporation it will construct. With the newest technology. But the data stays with corporations like it which is problematic as they used to make money. An entire city state and thats really off as many opportunities so what to do experts argue for socalled data utilities these are publicly financed but independent organizations they managed to control access to data anyone interested in developing Smart City Solutions could use them no matter if city owned business. Or big company a promising approach i think everyone should be able to profit from. Personal data is anonymised as a citizen i cannot influence which state of mine is being used. To decode a project by the European Union goes even further to empower individuals to control their 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. Should be. As a common good. Transportation like. They also believe. Citizens can responsibly deal with their own data. A desirable goal 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. The red cars occupied the. 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 around 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 constantly observed but actually there is no reason for concern the cameras protect the customers and drivers to. Privacy is ensured as not everyone can view the video. According to the taxi headquarters all data is well protected and deleted after 72. 00. They say the system is great for educating drive is and the footage can be used to settle conflicts complaints the taxi provider also says customers complain less frequently and that most likely camera as 2 drivers are now less worried about being threatened but the police also has access to the video how freely will people really converse in the taxis. Another problem small Street Parking lots. Are connected to the internet and offer potential gateways for hackers theoretically one weak link is all it takes to shut down the citys central servers and. Cyber terrorists could go even further dystonia demonstrates how to protect oneself. In terms of Digital Administration estonia the 3rd lane yet estonians can vote online and almost 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 fox. Both Online Banking and government websites with fact it in response to estonia has implemented annual International Training on fighting attacks from hackers they organized by nato inside the defense hub and over 20 nations the military and Tech Companies take pass. Question is look we got the. Dark the question is when you get here to the subject of security is not something you can do once because that landscape are changing every day Cyber Security is also crucial for smart cities they are becoming a steadily increasing economic factor Tech Companies use smart cities around the world to test their future technologies the big question is does this benefit the citizens 2 point of importance to me who controls the applications and who owns the data we need to find responsible solutions in 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 bye for now and see you next time. Plenty. To know that 77 percent obamacare are younger than the pot. And you know what on this 77 percent we talk about the issues.
