We hoeven u niet meer te vertellen dat data ons inzicht kan geven in hoe een (deel van een) gemeente er voor staat (zie webinar Data & Beleid). En we willen tegelijkertijd onze publieke waarden beschermen in de slimme stad (zie webinar Belangen borgen in de digitaliserende gemeente). Maar hoe kom je aan data die je nodig hebt om beleid te meten, te voorspellen en te monitoren? Er is natuurlijk open data, maar als dat niet voldoende is dan zijn er tal van andere toepassingen om data te verzamelen.

Om u een indruk te geven wat er allemaal mogelijk is en op de markt is, organiseren we een pitchcarrousel op woensdag 29 april om 15.00 uur met 4 bedrijven die u wegwijs maken in het verzamelen van de juiste data voor uw beleid.

Meld u hier aan voor de pitchcarrousel

Dit kunt u verwachten

• 4 pitches van producten/diensten waarmee uw gemeente (realtime) data kan verzamelen voor een (deel van een) beleidsvraagstuk.
• Concrete smart city oplossingen voor de uitdagingen waar gemeenten of provincies tegenaan lopen (fysiek, sociaal en economisch).
• Meet & Greet met pitchers in virtuele subzalen en ontdek de mogelijkheden voor uw vraagstuk.

Realtime Omgevingsbeleid
Deze pitchcarrousel is onderdeel van het project Realtime Omgevingsbeleid waarin we onderzoeken hoe inzicht in data de manier verandert waarop beslissingen worden voorbereid en genomen. Dat doen we samen met een netwerk op van bedrijven en overheden. De volgende partijen doen er al mee of hebben serieuze interesse: Civity, DHM Infra, ELBA\REC, Kennedy Van Der Laan, VodafoneZiggo, Provincies Zuid-Holland en Utrecht, gemeenten Zwolle, Apeldoorn, Amersfoort, Krimpen aan den IJssel.

Hoe kunt u deelnemen?
Deelnemen is gratis en eenvoudig: klik hier om u te registreren voor de pitchcarrousel. U krijgt woensdagochtend een link om deel te nemen aan het webinar. Voor het webinar maken we gebruik van Discord. Als u zich registreert dan ontvangt u ook een uitnodiging voor de komende webinars.

Wilt u graag uw product of dienst pitchen?
Neem dan contact op met Wendolijn Beukers (wendolijn@future-city.nl). Zet in uw email kort uiteen wat uw product of dienst inhoudt en hoe een gemeente met uw product/dienst data kan verzamelen en met welk doel. Wij maken een selectie van inzendingen. Over de selectie wordt niet gecorrespondeerd.

A groundbreaking technology project offering solutions to people concerned about the control of their personal data has just concluded after three years of pilot projects in Amsterdam and Barcelona.

DECODE, an EU Horizon 2020 project delivered by a consortium of 14 European partners, has developed new technology that allows people to decide who they share their data with, and on what terms.

Lidar is what robots use to read and navigate our built environment. Also known as point cloud or 3D scanning, Lidar becomes a wonderful 'black canvas' to paint a new portrait of our digital surroundings. We created a point cloud scan animation of the Marineterrein in the heart of Amsterdam that revealed the many data sets being collecting in our living lab. Like Bob Ross, we used the data and points to paint to a new landscape explaining our 21st century city.

Check out how we created this animation here: http://tapp.nl/point-cloud-scan-animation

I'll be giving alking about the point cloud animation and process at the upcoming Sensemakers AMS talk “DigitalTwins - cities, neighborhoods and infra” 19 February 2020. Signup here: http://meetu.ps/e/Hwyjq/8dXgR/a

Las Vegas was hit by a cyber attack on 7 January which followed an earlier attack in New Orleans, with the city declaring a state of emergency on 13 December. The threat of cyber attacks is growing as cities digitalise their services and use datasets to provide more efficient delivery to citizens.

How might we automate access to a public digital ecosystem for citizens and machines in order to grow a conscious city? How might we incentivize all citizens and companies to interact with the public digital ecosystem of the city in order to improve livability, democratic representation and societal engagement?

We are living in an age where the very idea of what it means to be a city is being redefined. Cities are evolving from mere forms of government—powered by breakthroughs in IoT, AI, and cloud platforms—to become the bridge between citizens, businesses, academia and the government itself.
Join us in Amsterdam for a transformative event that dives into what it means to be a smart city. Experience firsthand how cities are leveraging IoT technology platforms to drive unprecedented increases in efficiency, safety, livability, and overall quality of life. Network directly with the companies discussing their experiences on stage and see how you can partner together to transform cities and collective experiences.
We will address how cities are undergoing a massive digital transformation driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). From tackling tough challenges like climate change and aging populations to designing and implementing custom IoT solutions – the lessons shared around architecting on the intelligent edge will change how you approach cities forever.
Underneath the social responsibility we have to shape the future of the world around us, this IoT in Action event will strive to answer the fundamental question of how you can implement technology in a scalable, manageable, sustainable, inclusive, and secure way. Take the first step toward enabling smart cities by registering today.

This evening we will have three practical perspectives & applications of "digital twins":
- Tanguy Coenen from Imec will share their insights and best practises within the Digital Twin City of Antwerpen
- Marcel Gerrits & Paul Kootwijk on practical applications of IoT and AI to help ProRail manage themaintenance, safety & security of the railwail infrastructure
- Tom van Arman from CITYXL & TAPP on the digital twin of the Marineterrein

On https://lucht.smartgraph.bi we visualise the measurements of air quality in 4 cities (others can be added) on our independent data platform, Smart Graph. The graphs on Apeldoorn and Dordrecht are real time.
We have screen shots on the situation on new year eve for the Fine dust (pm2,5 and pm10) and noise (decibel) , nice to see the peak and the huge differences. Apeldoorn can be seen on the LinkedIn page of Quant-Base.

At Oddity.ai, we make video surveillance smart by recognizing violence, real-time. When violence occurs under the eye of the camera, an alert to the surveillance staff is being sent, so they can act accordingly. In the contemporary camera surveillance environment, a LOT is being missed, which we counter by applying our smart deep-learning algorithm.

We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our solution during a pilot in Eindhoven (Living Lab Stratumseind). Currently, we are still monitoring that location, with great results. We also accurately detected several fights which were missed by the surveillance staff (!)

When implemented, fights can be deescalated in an early stage, and perhaps even prevented.

We are now searching for a customer (police/municipality/Living Lab/etc.) that implements our solution in the surveillance room. It is already market-ready and privacy-compliant.

Oddity.ai is a university spinoff (Utrecht University) with three co-founders and two employees. We are based in Utrecht, but flexible to implement anywhere in The Netherlands. Please contact me (Thomas Alflen, co-founder and director of Oddity.ai) if you would like to know more!

This year, the Future City Foundation and 26 public and private partners are investigating how we should design the smart city. The network assumes that urban design and the products that result from it are radically changing. Just like it happened with other industries. They want to understand how it happens, what are the opportunities and what are the risks. They present the results of the research in the book: “A smart city, this is how you do it – Connected, flexible and meaningful: make the real future city”. The book is available in Dutch and a summary in English.

The original version of the book is in Dutch (212 pages) with theory about digitalization and technologization in vision and plans, 27 tutorials including the Model Bylaw Smart City Applications in the Public Space and 15 examples of smart city applications in the Netherlands. Download the Dutch version on https://future-city.nl/smartstedenbouw/

The English version (52 pages) focuses on the design principles for smart urban design:
>> We want a sustainable and democratic city;
>> In it we design everything as a democratic smart network;
>> We design flexibility;
>> We design meaningfully.
These are explained in detail. In addition, the Model Bylaw Smart City Applications in the Public Space is included in the book.

You can download the book for free on: https://future-city.nl/smarturbanplanning/

For more background information about the book, please see https://future-city.nl/smarturbanplanning/ And feel free to contact us if you like to know more about it and the follow-up projects.

Hoe ontwerpen we de smart city? Dat heeft Future City Foundation samen met 26 partners afgelopen jaar onderzocht in het Smart Stedenbouw-project. Op dinsdag 5 november organiseren we een – gratis – masterclass waarin we de nieuwe ontwerpprincipes voor de future city met u delen: verbonden, flexibel en betekenisvol. Meld u gratis aan!

In 4 stappen doorlopen we de principes die het ontwerp van de stad gaan veranderen en natuurlijk om zelf aan de slag te gaan met het ontwerpen van de future city. En we brengen graag samen met u een toast uit op het eindresultaat van ons Smart Stedenbouw-project – ons boek ‘Een slimme stad, zo doe je dat – Verbonden, flexibel en betekenisvol: maak de echte future city’- en de nieuwe projecten die daaruit gaan voortkomen. Wees welkom om met ons mee te toasten!

Have you ever thought about your city as a computer, and about institutions and administration as an OS operating system for it? This metaphor is becoming more and more relevant to reality. Telephones are turning into smartphones and cities into smart cities.

The new system for cities is being downloaded ...

According to statistics, you use a smartphone to read this page. Do you know what is the most important and most valuable component of it besides the camera? Of course its operating system. This single element can increase the power and safety of the device.

If it works inefficiently, you risk losing data, slowing down performance, and quickly draining of the battery. Current city's operating systems have many disadvantages. We know this feeling of system malfunction well.

If operating system performs its function in the background, we can experience games and multimedia on the screen and use our software necessary for a business. The same rule applies to cities and it's "operating systems".

We’re thrilled to have Royal Haskoning RHDV as a signatory of the Tada (https://tada.city/) movement in #Amsterdam.

"We know that the promise of using data can be huge – and this ties in closely in our collaboration with City of Amsterdam to optimise peopleflows in the city centre," says Frank Legter (Director Business Unit Transport & Planning Europe) "But we must ensure that we collect data correctly and enable people to stay in control of their data so that we create responsible digital cities."

Op 24 september is er een werksessie, tijdens de Common Ground week van VNG, waarin onderzocht wordt welk bovenstedelijk programma nodig is om de 'slimme stad' pilots en projecten op te schalen, naar grote icoonprojecten voor Nederland.

De openbare ruimte wordt steeds verder gedigitaliseerd. Sensornetwerken slinger zich door de stad, we willen schonere lucht, betere doorstroming van het verkeer, bestand tegen hoosbuien en hitte. Er komen ook grote veranderingen aan die de stad letterlijk op de schop nemen: de grond moet open voor gasbuizen, stroomvoorziening, riolen, glasvezel. Werkelijk unieke kansen om de stad te digitaliseren.

Denk en doe mee tijdens dit PI event.

Locatie: Catharijnesingel 55 Utrecht, op loopafstand van CS Utrecht
Dag en tijd: 24 september van 9:00-14:00 (inclusief lunch)
