3 / EIP-SCC - Brochure EUROPEAN CITIES: CHAMPIONS FOR CHANGE
European cities are champions in the much-needed transition towards a low carbon, resource efficient and competitive economy. Our urban areas are central to deliver on key challenges for Europe’s society and economy. At the heart of our cities, you will find dynamic jobs, growth, investment and innovation. Europe’s leading policymakers prioritise sustainability: a value enshrined in the EU Horizon 2020 objectives, focussing on energy efficiency and low-carbon development.
M Cities low carbon, resource innovation, energy- efficiency, low-carbon efficient and competitive CO economy. 78% U
“Smart communities are essential for clean and inclusive mobility. Representing over 70% of EU population and over 80% of EU GDP, cities have great opportunities to lead the way for the development of the future business and social models in an inclusive and sustainable way. Smart villages have an important role to play in this regard, as well. The EIP-SCC has a central role in ensuring that the needs of citizens are addressed in a holistic way” Violeta Bulc - European Commissioner for Transport

Why Smart Cities and Communities?
Opportunities:
Linking and upgrading infrastructures, technologies and services in key urban sectors (transport, buildings, energy, ICT) in a smart way will improve quality of life, competitiveness and sustainability of our cities.
This is a strong growth market, estimated globally to be worth €1.3 trillion in 2020 – a great export market for European business.
Challenges:
The European market is very fragmented, offering resilience and choice, however missing out on potential economies of scope and scale; and collaborative learning.
Many innovative solutions require new business models and financing solutions to decrease risk. Since demand for better infrastructure and services is high and still increasing, however public budget are under pressure, knowledge needs to be shared effectively and capacities developed.
“The key to quickly accelerate Smart City solutions is to stimulate the market. We do this through smart standardisation, open platforms that facilitate development and interoperability, and flexibility in our approach.” Peter Molengraaf, CEO Alliander
5 / EIP-SCC - Brochure ACTION CLUSTERS
An Action Cluster is an assembly of partners committing to work on specific issues related to smart cities, by sharing the knowledge and expertise with their peers, giving added-value to their national and local experience and identifying gaps that need to be fulfilled at European level. The work of each Action Clusters is gathered under thematic Initiatives.
The six Action Clusters which have been set up so far are:
Sustainable Districts Integrated Infrastructures Sustainable Urban and Built Environment & Processes (including Mobility Open Data)
Business Models, Citizen Focus Integrated Planning / Finance and Procurement Policy & Regulations
The six Action Clusters organise a marketplace of 6.000+ partners from over 31 countries.
6 / EIP-SCC - Brochure ACTION CLUSTERS
1. SUSTAINABLE DISTRICTS AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT
The main challenges in ‘Sustainable Districts and Built Environment’ is to reduce energy use, environmental impact and carbon footprint, entail competitive industries for jobs and growth and at the same time ensure societal and social development and the well-being of citizens. The investment needed to improve energy efficiency, generate low carbon energy, modernize infrastructure and create high quality living environments is enormous. At the same time, cities have limited access to planned financial resources for systemic change, which requires the activation of private capital combined with public investment.
RECOGNIZING EVERY CITY HAS ITS DIFFERENT SURROUNDINGS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO COMBINE REQUIREMENTS:
• To give stakeholders (industry, cities, operators...) tools needed to take appropriate systemic or individual decisions and facilitate scaling up solutions by enabling industries to provide solutions that are fit for purpose and at the same time come with reasonable pricing and quality. • To provide the large scale launching ground needed for new concepts to test and unleash the market, and to test and implement new financial products and models.

2. INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURES AND PROCESSES
Significant and as yet insufficiently tapped value is offered by integrating the various existing and new infrastructure networks within and across cities – be they energy, transport, communications or others – rather than duplicating these needlessly. This point applies, both, to active and passive infrastructure. Many such infrastructures are ageing; budgets to replace them are stretched; they are procured and managed ‘in silos’; yet the potential afforded to cities and their customers through new joined-up approaches, exploiting modern technologies is substantial. This is achievable; however it will take sustained commitment from multiple parties to access value.
INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MAY ADDRESS FOR EXAMPLE:
• Smart Lampposts • Urban Data Platforms • Smart Planning for shared infrastructures • Urban Resilience • Exploiting city-wide public assets
THREE INITIATIVES ARE CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS:
• HUMBLE LAMPPOST • URBAN DATA PLATFORMS • SMALL GIANTS
The Action Cluster is now shifting focus towards scale adoption of common solutions for the two mature initiatives, and aligning the significant SCC01 ‘Lighthouse’ Programme activities with the EIP. Clearly collaboration across the other action clusters is vital for sustained success.

3. SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY
Without significant deployment and penetration of new urban mobility solutions, it will be impossible to reach European urban mobility goals. Getting wide-scale deployment can be achieved in many ways; scaling in other locations, or working with new partners.
The EIP-SCC Action Cluster Sustainable Urban Mobility brings together cities and regions with companies to show-case innovative mobility solutions and support their replication at scale in key market segments. It aims to become the leading platform for understanding (and documenting) city needs, bringing stakeholders together, building the tools that support an innovation pipeline, and directly supporting individual networks and projects that are en-route to realisation.
In addition, the European Commission has hired the services of JIIP/The Extremely Useful Company who can help practitioners to assess the investment readiness of projects, identify investment opportunities and connect the project partners with investors and financiers

4. BUSINESS MODELS, FINANCE AND PROCUREMENT
To get smart, cities need responsive business models and adaptive funding. The new challenges facing our cities require new business models, finance & funding instruments and procurement schemes. This means establishing dialogue between public and private sectors to identify and remove any obstacles that stand in the way of the smart cities market.
The Business Model Action Cluster is designed specifically to achieve this, providing a platform where local authorities, financial institutions, businesses, SMEs and other relevant actors can work together. European smart city projects, including present and future lighthouse projects, will use our platform as a focal point for the gathering and sharing of information about innovative business and procurement models.
The platform will give cities better access to financial instruments, providing invaluable knowledge about financing and funding opportunities and directly engaging the financial community.
WE ENABLE KNOWLEDGE SHARING BY:
• Providing up to date funding and financing possibilities through an interactive funding guide; • Enhancing collaboration between smart cities lighthouse projects and other projects working on smart cities finance solutions; • Encouraging dialogue between cities, businesses and financial actors; • Gathering business model case studies; • Providing examples of successful local innovation ecosystems.

5. CITIZEN FOCUS
In a time of urban transformation and digitalisation of smart cities, too little attention is sometime given to citizens. Citizen Focus Action Cluster strongly believes in citizens as fundamental actors for the regeneration and development of smart cities. Civic engagement, empowerment, participation and co-creation are at the basis of our advocacy approach since we acknowledge that citizen voice can be pivotal in providing the demand-side pressure on government, service providers and organisations needed to encourage full response to citizen needs. It also ensures the setup of a trusted and sound relationship with local governments and a source of democratic legitimacy and transparency. In the context of smarter cities, citizens understanding of concrete problems and challenges can help local governments to prioritise and respond consistently to inhabitants’ need.
AT THE HUB OF OUR ACTION, CITIZEN FOCUS PUTS:
• Civic engagement, empowerment and participation • Citizens and disadvantaged communities inclusion • Citizen power to transform and smarten up the environment (smart housing, smart urban solutions, participatory budgeting, crowdsourcing) • Urban leadership – benefitting from citizen engagement actions to deliver solutions • Social Housing and transition to low carbon communities • Learning and sharing from world-wide forerunners in citizen engagement

6. INTEGRATED PLANNING, POLICY AND REGULATIONS
Integrated Planning, Policy and Regulation focuses on Innovative forms of smart city policies and regulations that are needed to enable large scale implementation and roll-out of smart cities. Cities need an adequate set of framework conditions in the field of policy and regulations in order to be able to smarten up. New governance concepts are required to coordinate and integrate smart city stakeholders – cities, businesses, and research organisations – within the change process so to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Stakeholders need to jointly experience and learn with new forms of governance and policy concepts to further the process of becoming a sustainable, smart city.
The Action Cluster works together with European cities, businesses, research institutes and academia to build together Smart and Sustainable Cities. To sum up, our effort goes towards the implementation and design of smart cities strategies by making best use of capacity, monitoring and measuring tools and by enabling knowledge sharing and replication of successful cases.
