00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:31.119
Smart city to me is a city that

2
00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:34.800
utilizes the data and information for the purpose

3
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:35.720
of its citizens.

4
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.940
Basically, in everyday life it means safe public

5
00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:46.620
spaces, it's efficient infrastructure, smooth traffic, smooth energy

6
00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:48.460
supply and things like that.

7
00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:07.540
A change is happening right in the middle

8
00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:08.440
of our cities.

9
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:13.320
A transformation that extends beyond steel and concrete,

10
00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:18.240
that penetrates the fundamental foundation of our civilization.

11
00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:22.520
The citizen's voice in the smart city development.

12
00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:27.860
At the center of technological advancement, the smart

13
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:31.900
city emerges as an intricate web of interconnected

14
00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:37.600
intelligence that skillfully knits together every aspect of

15
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.700
urban life.

16
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:43.980
Cutting its technology and data-driven systems combined

17
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:48.380
to create a symphony of efficiency, sustainability and

18
00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:49.120
ease.

19
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.000
The city's nervous system is made up of

20
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.640
its citizens supported by technology that gather and

21
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.660
analyze data on a continuous basis to optimize

22
00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:05.960
traffic flow, energy consumption and public services.

23
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.500
From intelligent transportation systems that adjust in real

24
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:15.880
time to reveal congestion to eco-friendly infrastructure

25
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:18.560
that reduces environmental impact.

26
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.900
The smart city symbolizes a vision of urban

27
00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:26.740
living that promotes both human well-being and

28
00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:28.500
environmental preservation.

29
00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:34.200
This digital city anticipates its people needs while

30
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:39.640
simultaneously empowering them through seamless connectivity, resulting in

31
00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:45.040
a dynamic, responsive and forward-thinking urban environment.

32
00:02:45.940 --> 00:02:49.220
Some cool smart city initiatives in Dublin at

33
00:02:49.220 --> 00:02:53.200
the moment are there's the Ring Lifebuoy program

34
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:56.120
that tries to implement a sensor into the

35
00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.660
case of the lifebuoy because the community flagged

36
00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:02.400
an issue that a lot of the lifebuoys

37
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.620
were being stolen or vandalized and then when

38
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.800
the lifebuoy was in need of it and

39
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.900
someone went to get it, it might not

40
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:12.180
have been there and so that's a really

41
00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:12.960
cool program.

42
00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:15.660
There's other initiatives where sensors have been used

43
00:03:15.660 --> 00:03:18.900
to monitor flooding and I run a citizen

44
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:21.500
science program where we look at air pollution

45
00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:23.100
and traffic monitoring with citizens.

46
00:03:25.850 --> 00:03:28.770
Paris, a city known for its history, art

47
00:03:28.770 --> 00:03:32.230
and architecture has long held the world's attention.

48
00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:38.510
Yet underneath its renowned skyline, a new transformation

49
00:03:38.510 --> 00:03:40.890
is quickly taking place.

50
00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:45.950
As the globe gets more interconnected, cities must

51
00:03:45.950 --> 00:03:49.050
develop and Paris is no exception.

52
00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:53.950
In the not too distant future, Paris will

53
00:03:53.950 --> 00:03:58.990
transform into a pioneering smart city combining its

54
00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:03.790
historic elegance with cutting-edge technology and collaborative

55
00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:07.010
decision-making to reinvent urban living.

56
00:04:09.290 --> 00:04:13.970
Paris 2050 is a model of sustainability, connection

57
00:04:13.970 --> 00:04:15.930
and quality of life.

58
00:04:17.970 --> 00:04:22.830
For Solideo, the future of city was to

59
00:04:22.830 --> 00:04:25.870
build a city that is still sustainable and

60
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:29.670
livable in the climate and conditions of 2050.

61
00:04:30.330 --> 00:04:32.230
So what really we really wanted to do

62
00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:34.410
was to have a sustainable city.

63
00:04:35.030 --> 00:04:38.490
So we decided to leverage the opportunity of

64
00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:42.950
the Olympic Games, all the means and resources

65
00:04:42.950 --> 00:04:46.870
available to organize the permanent infrastructures to build

66
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:50.570
something exemplary, to build how we would like

67
00:04:50.570 --> 00:04:51.810
to build in 2050.

68
00:04:52.070 --> 00:04:55.290
So we had very strong ambitions in terms

69
00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:57.730
of environmental performance for instance.

70
00:05:00.710 --> 00:05:04.550
Cities in the center of rapidly urbanizing globe

71
00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:07.750
are expanding at a quicker rate than ever

72
00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:08.410
before.

73
00:05:09.150 --> 00:05:14.150
With growing populations, the demand for sustainable, efficient

74
00:05:14.150 --> 00:05:18.470
and resilient urban setting has never been greater.

75
00:05:19.610 --> 00:05:23.030
The notion of smart city has evolved as

76
00:05:23.030 --> 00:05:26.810
a symbol of optimism, envisioning urban place

77
00:05:26.810 --> 00:05:31.550
powered by technology, data and innovation to improve

78
00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:33.570
the quality of life for all.

79
00:05:35.390 --> 00:05:40.790
However, developing such cities necessitates not just improved

80
00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:46.450
infrastructure and digital integration but also international collaboration

81
00:05:46.450 --> 00:05:48.450
and strategic frameworks.

82
00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:53.330
This is when international organizations such as United

83
00:05:53.330 --> 00:05:55.110
Nations comes into play.

84
00:05:56.210 --> 00:05:58.790
Well, I know more in detail the work

85
00:05:58.790 --> 00:06:00.750
undertaken by UN Habitat.

86
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:04.430
So the agency has a flagship program called

87
00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:09.290
People-Centered Smart Cities, meaning smart cities for

88
00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:10.030
citizens.

89
00:06:10.730 --> 00:06:12.790
And during the last year also following a

90
00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:16.270
resolution, the agency has developed the international guidelines

91
00:06:16.270 --> 00:06:19.290
on people-centered smart cities and a global

92
00:06:19.290 --> 00:06:22.410
assessment on smart cities, the World Smart Cities

93
00:06:22.410 --> 00:06:25.410
outlook, that is serving as a factual bedrock

94
00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:29.430
for oncoming guidelines and instructions.

95
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.300
Paris, the city of lights, is bringing in

96
00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:39.080
a new era of invention.

97
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.800
As the globe progresses towards smarter, more connected

98
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:49.420
urban environments, businesses are rising to the challenge

99
00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:51.840
of building tomorrow's cities now.

100
00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:55.940
At the forefront of this movement is Ithake,

101
00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:59.840
a pioneering force shaping the future of urban

102
00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:00.320
living.

103
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.700
Ithake's mission is to develop impact tech for

104
00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:11.340
ecological transformation using data-driven solutions and we

105
00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:13.580
use principles from the circular economy.

106
00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:17.780
In the Paris region, we developed the Eco

107
00:07:17.780 --> 00:07:21.720
Platform, which is basically a social network focused

108
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.520
on ecological action to switch the behavior for

109
00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:26.880
more sustainable practices.
