 Smart  Ci6es  are  “complex  ecosystems  supported  by  technological  infrastructures  transforming  ci6zen  

engagement,  learning  and  par6cipa6on”  (United  Na6ons,  Department  of  Economic  and  Social  Affairs.  Popula6on  Division,  2012.  World  

Urbaniza6on  Prospects,  the  2011  Revision,  New  York)    

Definitions of Smart Cities…!{Caragliu  and  Nijkamp  2009}:  A  city  can  be  defined  as  ‘smart’  when  investments  in  human  and  social  capital  and  tradi6onal  (transport)  and  modern  (ICT)  communica6on  infrastructure  fuel  sustainable  economic  growth  and  a  high  quality  of  life,  with  a  wise  management  of  natural  resources,  through  par6cipatory  governance.      {Giffinger  et  al.  2007}:  A  Smart  City  is  a  city  well  performing  in  a  forward-­‐looking  way  in  these  six  characteris6cs  [economy,  people,  governance,  mobility,  environment  &  living],  built  on  the  smart  combina6on  of  endowments  and  ac6vi6es  of  self-­‐decisive,  independent  and  aware  ci6zens.  !

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!MEDIA-­‐TIC  BUILDING  Example  of  Green  Architecture  

•  The  MEDIA  -­‐TIC  building  is  a  good  example  of  the  new  smart  and  sustainable  architecture  in  Barcelona,  which  uses  the  latest  technology.  Inaugurated  in  September  2010,  it  is  designed  to  be  a  communica6ons  hub  and  mee6ng  point  for  businesses,  R&D  centres  and  ins6tu6ons  in  the  field  of  IC  T  as  well  as  for  the  media  and  audio-­‐visual  sectors.    

•  shape  of  a  cube  and  is  formed  by  large  iron  beams  covered  in  a  plas6c  coa6ng  of  inflatable  bubbles,  which  offer  glimpses  of  the  fluorescent  structure  of  the  building.    

•  The  aVrac6ve  covering  also  has  a  func6onal  u6lity  as  a  way  of  regula6ng  light  and  temperature,  primarily  preven6ng  114  tons  of  CO  2  a  year  from  escaping  from  the  building,  and  offering  a  20%  saving  on  climate  control.  

•  Every  facade  of  the  Media-­‐TIC  is  different:  from  the  outside,  they  reveal  parts  of  their  interior  spaces  and  give  a  diverse  plas6city,  while  from  the  inside  they  offer  spectacular  views.  The  translucent  and  innova6ve  covering,  ETFE  (Ethylene  Tetrafluor  Ethylene),  recently  approved  as  a  construc6on  material,  is  in  itself  an  innova6on  in  Spanish  building:  it  acts  as  an  external  covering  and  a  mobile  sunscreen  that  helps  light  to  penetrate  and  affords  heat  savings.  The  ETFE  skin  is  ac6vated  using  pneuma6c  mechanisms  thanks  to  “luxometer”  sensors  that  automa6cally  and  independently  ac6vate  the  chamber  infla6on  and  defla6on  devices  according  to  how  much  solar  energy  there  is.  These  luxometers  are  energy  independent.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!UNDERGROUND  GALLERIES  Easy  access  to  service  network  

•  Special  Infrastructure  Plan  for  urban  improvements  on  37  km  of  streets  in  22@Barcelona,  the  innova6on  district,  with  highly  compe66ve  u6lity  infrastructures.  

•  a  new  model  of  urbaniza6on  and  underground  infrastructures:  a  modern  network  of  energy,  telecommunica6ons,  district  hea6ng  and  pneuma6c  waste  collec6on  systems.    

•  The  design  of  these  new  networks  gives  priority  to  energy  efficiency  and  responsible  management  of  natural  resources.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!SIIUR  PROJECT  Integral  Solu6on  for  Urban  Infrastructures  

•  The  SIIUR  project  (Integral  Solu6on  for  Urban  Infrastructures)  

•  control  of  ligh6ng  zones,  regula6on  of  the  hours  of  ligh6ng,  improvements  in  facili6es  and  an  electrical  analysis  of  the  posi6on  of  lamps  results  in  costs  savings  of  up  to  40%  

•  Street  lamps  are  equipped  with  LED  technology  to  reduce  cost  and  pollu6on.  Lamps  include  sensors  that  process  environmental  informa6on  and  detect  presence,  temperature,  humidity,  noise  and  pollu6on.  

•  These  lights  are  connected  to  a  Street  Ligh6ng  Cabinet  that  centralizes  all  communica6ons  and  services  (such  as  Fibre-­‐op6c  cabling  to  the  Home,  Wi-­‐Fi  or  Electrical  Vehicle  recharging  sta6ons)  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!SENSORS  FOR  URBAN  SERVICES  New  applica6ons  for  a  beVer  urban  quality  of  life  

•  different  formats  of  sensors,  databases,  new  applica6ons  and  designs  generated  both  by  public  administra6on  and  private  firms  

•  Barcelona  is  crea6ng  an  efficient  and  smart  service  delivery  pla~orm  for  ci6zens  and  municipal  workers.  This  pla~orm  has  a  common  data  warehouse  where  the  different  sensors  systems  store  their  informa6on.  

•  Some  examples  are  sensors  in  solid  waste  containers  (to  report  loading  data  to  adjust  schedules  or  routes),  street  sensors  (occupancy  of  parking  spaces  and  loading  areas)  for  environmental  control  (air  and  noise  pollu6on),  humidity  (for  irriga6on  in  public  parks),  urban  metering  (of  gas,  water  or  power)  and  traffic  flows  (to  control  and  manage  traffic  automa6cally).  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!BIOSPHERE  CERTIFICATION  FOR  BARCELONA  Interna6onal  sustainable  tourist  des6na6on  

•  the  first  city  in  the  world  to  receive  the  ‘Biosphere  World  Class  Des6na6on’  cer6fica6on.  This  cer6fica6on,  awarded  by  the  Responsible  Tourism  Ins6tute  (ITR,  affiliated  to  UNESCO  and  the  World  Tourism  Organiza6on  UNW  TO),  recognises  the  city  of  Barcelona  and  the  Barcelona  Tourism  Consor6um’s  environmental  management  and  posi6ons  the  city  as  a  sustainable  tourist  des6na6on,  which  proves  the  city’s  commitment  to  economic,  social,  cultural  and  environmental  values.  

•  The  cer6fica6on  was  officially  presented  during  the  Global  Sustainable  Tourism  Council  (GSTC)  Annual  Mee6ng  on  29th  June  2011.  This  organisa6on,  a  UN  Founda6on,  works  to  promote  sustainable  tourism.  

•  In  line  with  sustainable  tourism,  a  group  of  companies  and  ins6tu6ons  from  the  Forum  Area  of  the  city  (hotels,  conven6on  centre,  shopping  centre  and  founda6ons)  have  created  the  Barcelona  Forum  District  (BFD)  that  highlights  the  social,  environmental  and  cultural  commitment  of  its  members  and  their  common  values  and  objec6ves  in  these  maVers.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!FORUM  SOLAR  PHOTOVOLTAIC  INSTALLATION  AN  icon  of  local  environmental  friendly  policies  

•  The  Forum  Solar  Photovoltaic  Installa6on  was  inaugurated  in  2004,  on  the  occasion  of  the  organisa6on  of  the  Universal  Forum  of  Cultures.  

•  It  is  installed  on  the  prolonga6on  of  the  Forum  Esplanade,  a  bit  further  out  towards  the  sea,  at  the  entrance  to  the  new  Marina.  The  installa6on  provided  a  good  deal  of  the  electrical  energy  and  became  a  reference  element  on  the  Barcelona  coastline  and  a  monument  to  ecological  commitment.  

•  It  is  a  south-­‐facing,  4,500  m2  oblique  surface  mounted  on  four  reinforced  concrete  pillars;  a  huge  pergola  receives  the  sun’s  radia6on  and  simultaneously  produces  energy  and  shade.  The  total  peak  power  of  the  solar  panel  is  1,100  kWp  and  it  is  based  on  silicon  mono-­‐crystalline  cells.    

•  In  the  area  there  is  a  sailing  school  also  covered  with  solar  panels.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!INTEGRAL  WASTE  MANAGEMENT  PLANT  Waste  to  Energy  Treatment  plant  

•  This  integral  installa6on  comprises  a  Mechanical  and  Biological  Treatment  plant  (also  called  Ecoparc)  followed  by  a  Waste  to  Energy  plant,  with  a  global  capacity  of  400,000  tonnes  per  year.  

•  The  installa6on  receives  the  municipal  waste  frac6on  not  selected  in  origin.  

•  First  of  all,  it  is  treated  in  the  mechanical  and  biological  treatment  plant.  The  main  goal  in  this  phase  is  separa6ng  recoverable  materials  such  as  paper,  glass,  different  plas6cs,  ferrous  metals  and  organic  maVer.  

•  The  rest  of  this  first  treatment  goes  automa6cally  to  the  Energy  Recovery  plant,  where  this  municipal  waste  is  burned  in  three  furnaces  with  a  capacity  of  15  tonnes  per  hour.  

•  Municipal  Solid  Waste  treated:  350,000  t/year  •  Electrical  energy  produced:  175,000  MWh/year  •  Steam  to  hea6ng  and  cooling  network:  15  t/h  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!DISTRICLIMA  Hea6ng  and  Cooling  System

•  Mobec  Hotels  is  a  unique  and  innova6ve  electric  mobility  ini6a6ve.  The  project  consists  of  the  installa6on  of  a  network  of  charging  sta6ons  for  six  vehicles  in  front  of  the  hotels  of  Barcelona  par6cipa6ng  in  the  project,  which  will  have  six  rental  two-­‐wheel  electric  vehicles  available  for  the  hotel’s  guests.

•  The  pneuma6c  and  selec6ve  waste  collec6on  system  minimizes  noise  pollu6on  from  the  tradi6onal  waste  collec6on  methods  and  improves  quality  of  urban  spaces  as  waste  containers  disappear  from  the  streets.  

•  The  first  pneuma6c  waste  collec6on  system  was  installed  in  Barcelona  in  1992,  in  the  Olympic  Village  District  as  part  of  the  city’s  renova6on  for  the  1992  Olympic  Games.  

•  The  waste  collec6on  system  is  opera6onal  since  2006.  •  The  system  consists  of  a  network  of  fixed  collec6on  points  

strategically  distributed.  The  drop-­‐off  points  (either  inside  the  new  buildings  or  in  the  streets)  collect  the  three  basic  waste  frac6ons  (organic  waste,  inorganic  waste  and  paper).  

•  The  drop-­‐off  points  are  connected  via  a  vacuum  network  through  the  pipes  installed  under  the  streets  and  transported  to  the  collec6on  plant,  where  a  hydraulic  press  compacts  the  waste  to  reduce  its  volume  (resul6ng  in  less  traffic  and  noise).  

•  The  en6re  network  is  cabled  through  a  communica6on  network  to  control  the  state  of  the  infrastructure  and  to  measure  if  waste  containers  are  empty  or  not  to  op6mize  collec6on  routes  of  trucks.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!BICING  Bicycle  sharing  system  

•  Bicing  is  the  name  of  a  community  bicycle  programme  of  the  city  of  Barcelona  created  in  March  2007.  

•  It  aims  to  make  available  to  ci6zens  bicycles  for  commu6ng  within  the  city,  with  an  economical  and  sustainable  transporta6on  mode.  Its  purpose  is  to  facilitate  short  daily  trips  but  not  for  tourism  or  recrea6onal  use.  

•  Users  must  acquire  a  yearly  membership.    •  The  system  has  a  6,000  bicycles  and  network  of  more  

than  400  sta6ons  to  lend  and  return  the  bicycles  distributed  throughout  the  city.  Most  sta6ons  are  situated  next  to  public  transport  stops  or  public  parking  to  facilitate  and  promote  intermodality.  

•  Since  the  start,  the  service  has  registered  more  than  50  million  uses  and  has  120,000  registered  users.  

•  A  new  ini6a6ve  is  underway:  the  iBicing,  to  provide  all  Bicing  users  with  a  tool  that  allows  them  to  find  out  the  loca6on  and  the  availability  of  their  nearest  sta6ons,  whenever  and  wherever  they  need  a  Bicing  bike.  

Barcelona Smart City – Study Case!E-­‐GOVERNMENT  for  entrepreneurs,  businesses  and  ci6zens  

•  Barcelona  is  pioneer  in  many  projects  and  e-­‐government  ini6a6ves,  applying  new  technologies  to  improve  public  services,  access,  efficiency  and  transparency.  

•  The  professional  folder:  allows  professionals  to  complete  online  procedures  on  behalf  of  their  clients  (payments,  outstanding  debts,  property  and  vehicle-­‐related  formali6es,  fines  and  penal6es).  

•  Open  Data  BCN:  the  portal  includes  public  data  owned  by  the  City  Council,  made  accessible  to  the  public  in  open  and  standard  digital  formats  in  an  easy  and  clear  structure.  The  portal  includes  more  than  300  categories  of  data  in  5  basic  areas:  territory,  popula6on,  urban  environment,  economy  and  administra6on.  

•  Quiosc  PuntBCN:  the  city  has  kiosks  for  aVen6on  to  ci6zens  similar  to  automa6c  teller  machines.  They  try  to  improve  the  aVen6on  given  from  the  eleven  Offices  for  public  aVen6on,  that  receive  an  average  of  4,500  daily  users.  Are  located  in  different  points  of  the  city  (shopping  centres,  libraries,  civic  centres),  and  allow  ci6zens  to  solve  most  of  the  administra6ve  procedures  (60%  of  the  total).
