AGENDA • What makes a city smart? • Open Source initiative in
Government
• The need for agility and DevOps • Case Studies: • The Connected Home • Smart Meters • Mobile Workforce Management • The path ahead
(i.e. what you need to do now)
Think in terms of ‘Systems of Cities’ Cities should not be considered In isolation – interactions and relationships between cities are critical to their development Foresight Project approach: the UK’s ‘system of cities’ is considered for the future of a urban UK, while simultaneously considering the multiple futures of its individual cities as systems

Open Source and Government THE POWER OF PLATFORMS Tim O’Reilly (Author : Government as a Platform) “This is the right way to frame the question of Government 2.0. How does government become an open platform that allows people inside and outside government to innovate?” Mike Bracken (ex- UK Government CIO) “GOV.UK has been designed with transparency, participation and simplicity at its core. It will always be based on open standards, and is unapologetically open source... GOV.UK is not Government on the Internet, but of the Internet.”

DRIVE TO AGILITY
• Size and complexity • Organic and rapidly changing • Massive capability but under utilised • Contrast city planning (e.g. buildings)
with infrastructure and IT (ephemeral) • Does IoT require agility? • Fast rather than Big Data?
DRIVE TO AGILITY
INDUSTRIALISATION • Victorians tamed the cities,
employing great vision • Sewerage in London mirrored the street layout • But already the cut and cover method of building tunnels was disrupting the life of the city so new tunnelling technology was built • Telegraph wires by railways became adopted by business
• London underground • Greathead Shield • Telegraph cables
across the Atlantic
INDUSTRIALISATION • New technology reduces the
provision, scaling and resilience of platforms to a commodity item • You can now focus on what’s possible with the new sources of information
(e.g. sensor networks) • Rules can be implemented at edge with smart devices or centrally with big data
Smart Grids

Internet usage over 24 hours

…with IoT devices increases exponentially
Smart cities are sitting on a goldmine of
data, consumers and technological capability • Much is already there • Legislation (e.g. utilities) means new data sources
are being added all the time • Be creative about bringing datasets together,
the rest is just integration: • Vodafone and Tom Tom • Temperature sensors on roads
to predict problems on underground • Vehicles can measure air quality, road temperature, velocity and wait times • Don’t worry about the platform - it’s PaaS

THE CONNECTED HOME • A microcosm of the Smart City • Benefits citizen by making all services available • Standalone with no integration to wider city • Stepping stone driving desire for more • Common problems - many devices & standards,
interoperability, expectation, focus • Where we are now? • What is possible?
SMART ENERGY METERS

SMART ENERGY METERS • Smart Meters and Comms Hubs use a low level protocol (GBCS) • Added in Cryptography - first team to do this for Luna Safenet • The customer realised that the Comms Hub Management underpins the
entire business model • remit has been extended into certificate repository and managing manufacturing and birthing process of these hubs. • Now taking feeds (e.g. from certs authority). • Comms Hubs team are the only people that can talk to the manufacturers • Use cases the customer thought they understood well, turned out to be more complex and the project had to adapt
