pollution more energy consumption more water usage but waste small cities are supposed to help cope with these problems projects a public 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 small poles which connect to other internet of things devices and provide broadband thanks to dr ellis cause accidents hardly ever happen . and drones and robots deliver the goods even coffee. in this future city salad grows underground at the urban farm. fomented 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 areas 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. it's the engine for the internet of things and enables interconnected infrastructures on a grand scale an expert on smart cities is your. is 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 people's lives that's how i would summarize the goal of a smart city. in order to do this it's important for citizens to be able to

properly explain what kind of city they'd like to live in. that's the starting point and we can begin designing a smart city based on those demands. imagine you're the mayor of the city and want to turn it into a smart city you'd 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 stations station throughout the town that measure levels. the smart city is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. for the most that means mobility systems housing systems. administrator 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 big data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared and. based on this solutions for usage and. someone is. driving restrictions when the air is. anything is possible connected 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. the city saves taxes by using resources more efficiently with the help of sensors public spaces are only irrigated when they're too dry. the garbage bins are only emptied once they're full. that helsinki garbage trucks have

become obsolete waste is transferred to underground collection points without noise or pollution. and 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 out. 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 city's traffic is constantly recorded. smart robo cops are supposed to make you buy 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 and.

city owned businesses lay 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 a small 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's precisely this data that provides the basis for implementing and controlling this city system. as a result very careful and conscientious decisions need to be made regarding how the data is handled and. if the city controls data 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. like. the alphabet corp it will construct an entire district of toronto with the newest technology. but the data 17 days 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 so-called 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 local startup or big company a promising approach i think everyone should be able to profit from data in their utilities personal data is anonymised as a citizen i cannot influence which state of mind is being used. to cold a project by the european union even further to empower individuals to control their data citizens themselves should decide whether personal information stays private or if it's being shared in order to make the city smarter. pilot projects have been running in amsterdam and barcelona since 2018 we believe should be understood as a public infrastructure as a common good. transportation. they also believe

that citizens can responsibly deal with their own. 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 china. the red cars occupied the. algorithms used right histories to predict which areas are likely to have a lot of customers and when. drivers can directly head to these locations like. his car is part of the network consisting of about 20000 taxis and change. and it's equipped with an interior camera meaning the headquarters can watch him work and listen in on all conversations. in the beginning i was uncomfortable as i didn't really know much about it and felt constantly observed but actually

there is no reason for concern the cameras protect the customers 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 drive and the footage can be used to settle conflicts complaints the taxi provider also says customers complain less frequently and that most like the camera has to drive less worried about being threatened but the police also has access to the video how freely. taxis. another problem street parking lots. are connected to the internet and offer potential gateways for hackers theoretically. all it takes to shut down the city's central servers cyber terrorists could go even further. demonstrates how to protect

oneself. in terms of digital administration and stonie of the. estonians can vote online all public services are digitally accessible but this also increases vulnerability. in 2007 stone he was targeted by site. britax from a global network of connected fox nets both online banking and government websites with fact it in response estonia has implemented annual international training on fighting attacks from hackett's they organized by nato inside the defense hub and every 20 nations the military and tech companies take cost. question is look we got this. cyber attack but the question is when you get to the subject so the security is not something you can do once because that landscape are changing over to the side as

a curate 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 to a point of importance to me who controls the applications and who owns the data we need to find responsible solutions and the citizens' interest what's your opinion would you like to live this way i was not is your city join the discussion i'm looking forward to your feedback by phone now and see you next time.
