Urban Innovation 1: Sustainability and Technology Solutions

(Part 1 of 2)

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is no longer a distant vision. Cisco calculates that the Public Sector can realize up to $14.4T in economic value from IoE by 2024 and IDC recently predicted IoE technology and services revenue will grow worldwide from $4.8T in ‚12 to $7.3T by ‚17. The epicenter of these seismic shifts is originating and accelerating in cities on nearly every continent. Connecting people, processes, data and things is trans- forming how cities deliver urban services, collaborate and become more relevant to their citizens. Big Data analysis is driving more efficient, faster and cost-effective processes that improve traffic, parking and waste management while reducing energy consumption, costs and even crime. Synergies with business, healthcare providers and education have a multiplier effect that enhances quality of life in our metropolitan centers. More and more real-world use cases emerge weekly. It's clear that the Internet of Everything is proving to be the most innovative and beneficial disruption to how we live, work, play, and learn than the Internet itself. In this talk, we will learn how the value of the Internet of Everything can be unleashed today and tomorrow.

Wireless connectivity is revolutionizing the way people live and interact with each other. Advances in wireless technologies such as 3G, 4G and WiFi have enabled the proliferation of connected devices at affordable price points. People now expect Internet connectivity anywhere they go. The result is that mobile data traffic continues to grow at an astounding rate every year. How can wireless providers continue to increase network capacity in urban cities? This presentation will look at innovative ways of deploying wireless capacity using a dense network of very small cells, reducing energy consumption and urban space requirements for cell sites and antennas.

• Speaker: Matt Grob, Chief Technology Officer, Qualcomm

"The Mobile Internet Transformation – Meeting Network Capacity Needs of Cities" was recorded at the 2012 Meeting of the Minds conference in San Francisco.

One stream of mobility innovation is already bringing advanced technology to our roads. Autonomous driving means much more than robotic cars who know your name and your designation. A long list of 'intelligent transport systems' are maturing and converging — and they're bringing to drivers a menu of new options that help to reduce city congestion, increase safety and facilitate vehicle flows. What does it all mean for the future of cities as we know them?

Some of the fundamentals in urban transport and urban energy are shifting. Dramatic changes are already underway in some of the world's major cities. Many of those changes could, in time, help to create a positive future. Under what conditions could government policies and corporate practices accelerate a beneficial outcome at the other end of the transition? How can we make sure that the impending urban transformation becomes a net positive for all citizens, up and down the socio-economic spectrum?

What exactly do the practitioners — working on the front lines — think about the role of new technology, telematics, market demands, shifting consumer preferences, and the viability of new options for car sharing? Is the traditional rental model of car sharing the future or is peer-to-peer the next frontier? Does the EV revolution really fit into the car-sharing model? What challenges remain as the core obstacles to car sharing as a solution to urban congestion and localized air pollution? This workshop will delve into the potential for car sharing to transform the mobility and pedestrian experience of cities as well as their carbon footprint.
