So the question becomes: as this push of people into cities increases, how can we make sure the
cities of tomorrow are smart?
Following are seven the main priority areas:
A) Priority Area 'Sustainable Urban Mobility'
Potential Actions
Actions to better address supply 1. Improve clean power for transport: vehicles and infrastructure: Tackling electric/different
hybrid technologies and their infrastructure to accelerate mass-shift to cleaner forms of transport
will help achieve economic gains, reduce energy consumption and address the inter-dependence
with energy systems and public space.
2. Foster seamless door-to-door multi-modality in urban transport: Better connecting transport
modes, nodes and mobility services (e.g. inter-modal mobility hubs, integrated information
platforms for transport operators, cooperative ITS) will enable integrated public transport and
new urban traffic and transport management solutions.
Action to better address demand 1. Open up intelligence in urban transport systems: Supporting partnerships that use open data
will create additional value for. Public transport, ICT and energy providers, but also private
users/social media leading to demand-responsive and integrated mobility services which help
minimize energy consumption.
2. Promote sustainable and integrated mobility planning
3. Promote use of cleaner vehicles
4. Transforming the Energy Chain: Integrated smart grid (renewable + storage + heat pumps +
EMS at consumer side). Managing a two-way energy chain, balancing demand and supply
dynamically between renewable and traditional sources. Link customer into chain as a key actor.
5. Road systems: Mobile ITS (location-based route / travel information + traffic light systems =
optimized traffic flow to reduce emissions and energy consumption). Work with traffic
management systems and automotive industry to re-use urban sensors deployed in street scenes.
Exploit sensors and devices to predict traffic conditions / improve road and traffic management.
6. Parking systems: Connect infrastructure, people and devices, and sensors to address the up to
25% of congestion caused by people looking for parking. Mode shift through yield management
pricing.
7. Waste-4-Heat: Use waste heat of process industries + remote heating infrastructure + local
CHP system to reduce dispersed CO2 emission and save energy.

8. Adverse Events : Connect key information sources with city monitoring systems (sensors,
people); with city life-lines infrastructures (transport, power, water, and communication) to
build city resilience in the face of incidents and crisis.
9. Intelligent Bins: Putting sensors on bins enables cities to communicate within the waste
collection system, optimizing truck routing, minimizing energy consumption and congestion, and
satisfying customers
