How many times have we heard say the term Smart Cities? A lot and now we hear more and more often. What are they? It is technologically connected urban areas, where they can communicate and move becomes simple. Milan is a smart city, it has become even more so with the Universal Expo 2015. Before it did not exist in the world that such a large area for a period of time so long would guarantee an active connection available to millions of people. Just in the city of Milan has spoken of Smart Cities with a series of speakers who have spoken at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart to tell how the Lombard capital has become digital and excellence as over time may become increasingly smart. To moderate the meeting – inserted inside the loop “ Cultural Supplements ” promoted by the journal Ants and Mediolanum Farmaceutici – the deputy director of The Day , Sandro Blacks .
TOSONI: “SURVEY OF SMART CITIES IN SOCIETY AND POLICY”
To precede the debate was held a workshop entitled “Smart Education” coordinated by Prof. Simone Tosoni , who claimed: “For better implementation and dissemination of Smart Cities need to work on Communicators ability to read social and political implications. ” Indeed, it is now, along with the technology, the cornerstone of the Smart Cities: “Some decisions concerning for example infrastructure are the result of work that are brought to fruition on the tables politicians,” said Tosoni yet.
TILIA: “THE SMART CITIES ARE PARADIGM OF THE CITY OF THE FUTURE, BUT ALSO A CHALLENGE FOR THIS”
But when it comes to cutting-edge technology and smart urban areas It refers to a possible future project or something that materialize in the present? “The Smart Cities are the paradigm of the city of the future, but are already showing in this town,” he began Giuseppe Tilia , in charge of the project “Digital Agenda” of Telecom Italy. “Expo 2015 was the first event totally smart and totally accessible in terms of digital,” he added. The technology obviously changes our lives and events that succeed one another in the course of it. The importance of Smart Cities at this point becomes even clearer: they are the face of our world more alive but “require investments in technology and human,” said Tilia yet: “The challenge for the design of European funding is gigantic because it serves to ‘Italy that we must build an interdisciplinary slowly, by implementing more elements on the same level. ” Then ask yourself if the concrete realization of these projects is possible is permissible and the responsibility of Telecom Italy was optimistic: “Tablets and smartphones are in the hands of all, from a technical standpoint Cloud platforms are simple and low cost, and also access networks are now efficient. The route will continue in terms of sophistication but now the conditions are all “.
GALLIANO:” THE COMMON WORKING ON NOW, NOT TECHNOLOGY “
Renato Galliano , Director of Economic Sector Innovation, Smart City University and the City of Milan, said: “In our city, the process started in 2013 with a consultation of the city and led to three levels of intervention : one on governance, on one strategic plan and one on technology. ” A proof of the work done by the junta Pisapia, Galliano cited the agreement signed with the Ministry of Economic Development to create an area smart that within a year and a half will be built at the beginning of Via Ripamonti. Then he added: “The issue of technology is certainly important but it is the responsibility of the Administration, we must ensure that the city and its agents use the technology, so we have installed 500 Wi-Fi hotspots that give free.” Of course, it is true that without the technological development there would even the coveted social impact. Then for the construction of Smart Cities is needed partnership of local authorities, Galliano has stressed that the realization of a project of this magnitude can not and should not be based only on the state. “Public funding should serve as start-up,” he explained, so that it may allow companies to produce services to be put then on the market and thus trigger a cycle of life. “We are not yet at this point, because the financial world is not able to assess the horizontality of projects Smart City”.
MARAN: “TO MAKE THE SMART CITIES SHOULD HAVE A COMMUNITY “
Always remaining in the maze of Palazzo Marino, we wondered how the Milan City Council is working on mobility and infrastructure to facilitate the realization of the Smart City. “Among other things, we opened the car-sharing to private, so to make it clear to everyone that it is not a prerogative of the public,” said Pierfrancesco Maran , Councillor for Mobility, Environment, Metropolitan, Public Water, Energy of the City of Milan. “It’s worth investing in Milan because Milan are a great audience to test new stuff,” he explained again, and then list a few projects “widespread availability”, as the agreement with fee or one (failure) with Uber. “We need to create community, doing so by sharing shortens the segment between supply and demand. But remember that you can not do without investment and innovation Expo after we are able to attract capital to our city “.
TOMMASI:” RESEARCH, INVESTMENT AND SHARING ARE THE KEY TO SUCCESS SMART CITIES “
According to Luciano Tommasi , Head Start Up Initiatives and Business Incubator of Enel, funding is only part of the picture,” it is important to also ‘ universities, innovation nursery, and then an area where companies can interact. ” In these three elements, investment, research and sharing, would lie so the success of Smart Cities. “The start-ups have an important role because, by definition, beyond a border, they can create new business models and new technologies. Smart Cities are the set of small segments: mobility, sharing and electrical efficiency, “said Tommasi.
Camorali, CIOFFI AND RICCI
Starting assume that the smart city can create economic development and jobs, Joan Camorali , Director Local Government Health and University of IBM Italy, argued that “the condition that enables the growth of a territory is able to attract investment. Not only that, it is important to the establishment or enhancement of places (not physical) as they meet the necessary factors for the development of digital cities “. The echoed Pasquale Cioffi Ferpi (Italian Federation of Public Relations): “We are at the beginning of a revolution in Milan and is responding well.” And Paul Ricci , Innovation Manager Youco, concluded: “It is not enough to have the devices, communication between them is the true essence of the Smart Cities”.
CONCLUSIONS
A summing up of the debate we thought Professor Roberto Zoboli , Deputy Rector on the coordination and promotion of scientific research at the Catholic University, which in the end has supported “the need for a holistic view of the Smart City.” The final salute it happened to Paul Mass , founder and editor of Ants , which made mention of the climate conference in Paris, saying: ” From a city to its knees as the French capital switches a change that will cover everyone. ” In short, inclusion and sharing are the masters also in Paris, as in our (present and future) Smart Cities.
