print culture between here and there challenging for everything. under the sun think it was worth it for me to come to germany. and got my license to work as a swimming instructor. and i want to teach children not to dance just just. what's your story take part share it on info migrants dot. the city of the future is smart it's entirely interconnected that will regulate traffic save energy 5 crime assisted by big data and the internet of things brave new world or rather a surveillance nightmare what cosmos it is look like and do we really want to live there our topic today on ship.

more than half of the world's population lives in cities and this number is steadily rising resulting in enormous challenges more people want traffic more pollution more energy consumption more water usage but waste smaller 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 evan plan is regular street lights are replaced by small poles which connect to other internet of things devices and provide broadband thanks to driverless cars accidents hardly ever happen. and drones and robots deliver the goods even coffee. in this future city some. grows

underground at the. old minted and visual 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. 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 a 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 sensors that connect data for instance to cause a street to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring stations stations throughout the town that measure levels. the smart city is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. for the most part that means mobility sist. 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 data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared and. based on this small solutions for usage you can be found. at any illumination once someone is close. driving restrictions when the air is heavily polluted anything is possible in the 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 spain 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. and 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 app and then citizens can vote on them. and palo alto in the u.s. parking lots now have sensors please notify citizens whenever a parking space is free the city's traffic is constantly recorded. smart 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. in ukraine citizens can view the incomes of civil servants and check on how politicians have voted 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 different solutions exist. the data is essential for a smart 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 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. the alphabet corp it will construct an entire district of toronto with the newest 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

that's really offers many opportunities so what to do experts argue for so-called data utilities these are publicly financed but independent organizations they manage proses and 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 and data 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 goes even further it aims 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 that they 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 occupied the green cars are waiting for customers algorithms used right histories to predict which areas are likely to have a lot of customers and when. drivers can then 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 taxi head. his 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 as well protected and deleted after $72.00. they say the system is great for educating drive is on 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 video. taxis. another problem small street parking lots. are connected to the internet and

potential gateways for hackers theoretically is all it takes to shut down the city's central servers and cyber terrorists could go even further. demonstrates how to protect oneself. in terms of digital administration and. estonians can vote online 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 affected. estonia has implemented annual international training on fighting attacks from hackers they organized by nato cyber defense and over 20 nations the military and tech companies take. a look.

cyberattack the question is when you get hit to the side that are those other secured it is not something you can do once because that one took landscape are changing every day side as a cure it is also crucial for small cities they are becoming a steadily increasing economic factor tech companies use not 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 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 .
