Data that we use on the open data side are things like we get a lot of flooding data, a lot of air quality data. I think I was doing the sums that by the summer we'll have European and North American coverage of air quality data and these are from small little sensors that people is mostly private individuals are putting in their gardens and their homes and enabling others to share and to reuse it. Why is it called a Twitter for sensors? It's not really but anyway people understand what we do now so never mind. This is the picture that comes into my head when people talk about smart cities. There's a lot of talk, there's a lot of overselling I feel around smart cities and I think from my perspective what I'd like to see is more bottom up smart cities where people are actually engaged directly. We're going back to these massive, massive 90s style kind of enterprise integration projects that cost millions and actually deliver less than what small startups can do in small teams and I'd like to see less of this. I mean I think we've learnt that these kind of projects fail quite a lot and they're quite risky and also I feel like in this day and age with the kind of expenditures and the skills that we're talking about it's actually unaffordable and if we look at what the government digital services have done actually around design principles I want to put that we should be maybe taking the lessons that they've already have shown work and implementing it towards smart cities and one of it is start with usinates and when we talk about smart city projects actually nobody really thinks about people, citizens right on the ground. What do they need, why, why is a question. The last in one event we did we kind of we're talking about European projects and what came out was that in all of the European sensor or or smart cities projects actually the citizen engagement that no one's doing citizen engagement and that's really interesting to me because the problems these massive 18 to 18 month to two year projects are defined before anybody talks to people do you need it. Do less is their second second lesson from GDS and and understanding where the kind of government stops and and hopefully an ecosystem of companies come in is a very important distinction like end to end services shouldn't necessarily be provided by by these government services if you could allow the infrastructure to be laid down then then at least at least kind of other people can step in and I think interesting examples of this is Bristol is open they're they're putting in a lot of the the hardware the fiber optics cables the kind of the hardware side that necessarily other outsiders can't do but they're they're they're saying this is where we stop and they're hoping or encouraging an ecosystem to to to kind of come in. I won't go through all of this one of the obviously the last the last point is make things open is not just the data obviously the data being open is is very very important you know for air quality data you know it's applicable to so many people so people that are interested in the environment and obviously people that have interested in the health implications so individuals and and kind of on a macro level. There's also another thing about the open side is can we actually create reusable systems smart city systems so if if London or a borough in London pays for a huge smart cities project can can somebody else take it improve it and make it better can we start thinking about smart cities infrastructure in a reusable way in a composable way and and again we've done this really well kind of GDS is on is on GitHub I mean can we start designing these systems in a way that are reusable and other countries and cities can use them. So I want to give you a tangible example of what we're dealing with kind of to bring it back to earth we were dealing with hackathon for for Westminster around 18 months ago and we they were really keen for for people to take their parking information and parking data and and do some interesting things with it but really so that was great we kind of said oh we'll host the data where is it and they were like oh well I don't know this other service provider go talk to them and I talked to seven different companies and the kind of the chain of custody so each company was coming in doing some retail and passing it on and Westminster themselves didn't have access to their own data we can get access and it went through so I live in East London Westminster it's obviously West London I wanted I was like I will come and get the data from you it took nearly two months to get data from the centre from parking sensors that Westminster had installed to to us and this is crazy this is this is doing everyone and injustice and so these are the types of problems as a startup I want to solve I don't I don't necessarily kind of I don't know where centre deployments I can't say for sure anyway where this is all going but there there are real problems here that can be solved with technology and we've solved them in in I suppose the the private space quite easily so so this is what we want to do we want to create data commons around real-time data where where data sets are already being published in real time and others websites as people can can subscribe to them and they they take the kind of fire hoses and and and do interesting things and reuse them and we are I mean we're we're seeing a lot of interesting projects that we never really kind of anticipated coming in there are obviously like things around equality and flooding but also we're over the last week I've been onboarding people that are monitoring the Fukushima region and or the radiation data and that's I mean it I never in my kind of wildest dreams did I think that this would happen when we started a couple years ago and and here we are and I think in the long term I'd like to see more of these start start kind of understanding how these deployments will work and and I guess yeah that's that's my call to arms if I say like let's let's solve the problems of today one of the things that I would like to really emphasise on is things that we need to figure out is if we're going to have smart cities projects with centre deployments who's actually going to maintain these centres these things are very cheap usually they're under 100 dollars or 100 pounds who's going to change them there has to be some guy in a van that actually is going to have to change a connected street lights right and we haven't we don't talk about this kind of stuff day to day maintenance infrastructure and and can we make it iterable in a sense that you know with you again with with these with these devices they will in two years time they need to be changed so if you have a parking sensor dug into the ground are you going to actually dig up one of the roads like how what is the design and best practice like and I find a kind of there's not enough talk about this it's kind of there's a lot of hand wavy hand readiness but not necessarily practical how are we going to fund this there's a lot of the business models are that I'm seeing anyway are grant based so it's more reliance on the TSP but really long term how this stuff going to be paid for and and whether it's startups or big companies to enter this market successfully they need to they need to understand how they're going to make money and and and very clear ways to make money not just on we'll monetize the data then it becomes creepy and and and the last point is we need to we need to kind of close the loop between the different domains smart cities involves yes it's if you're going to you know if you're going to digitize these computers scientists are going to come in but also we need to kind of have a common language between architects and city planners and and everyone or the stakeholders involved in order to kind of define it better so that's me please come to our workshop this afternoon it'll be interesting we'll have lots of hardware startups showcasing they're actually doing smart cities like projects that aren't and the you know we want to kind of give you a hands-on understanding of what this stuff involves
