CITY CONTEXT City size and role Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal. Geography ‘The city of seven hills’, on the right bank of the River Targus, has both the highest number of sunshine hours and the greatest risk Inhabitants of seismic activity in a European city. residents: 550,000 daily visitors: 400,000 tourists per year: 10 million Economic features and key activities Size (km2) area: 6,458 km2 Lisbon boasts the highest levels of labour force productivity population density: 958 km2 and enterprise density (114.7/km2) in the country. The national average is 12/km2. Low presence of primary and manufacturing activities: tertiary sector 83.4%, secondary sector 16.2% and 0.4% from the primary sector. In the first quarter of 2014, the unemployment rate in the region reached 16.4% (the national average was 15.1%), nationally the third highest rate. Which ‘lighthouse’ city/cities has similarities and in which areas: Lisbon is similar to London in terms of our urban mobility related challenges, and to Milan in terms of our building retrofit and energy efficiency measures. 5 2. SHARING CITIES DEMONSTRATION AREA Lisbon’s demonstration area (10 km2 and 100,000 inhabitants) is a strategic location, stretching from the riverfront to the centre of the city, and including the main tourist and historic districts (second place in the Best European Destination 2015 contest). It has several specific challenges, ranging from its particular geography to the historic nature of its buildings, many of which date from the 18th-19th centuries, while others are more recent (built in the 1990s). The area also has an ageing population. For the building sector, Lisbon’s south western geographic location presents great opportunities but also challenges, especially since its energy needs differ from those of other European regions. Cooling is very much in demand, therefore natural gas is used mainly for cooking and producing domestic hot water (DHW) rather than heating. The renovation status of the city’s building stock has been critical due mainly to the absence of energy ordinances up until the late 1980s, and also to the overall age of the buildings. These increased the refurbishment costs, in comparison to new constructions outside the city centre (which characterised the past decades). By now, refurbishment has moved to the forefront of priorities, and significant headway has been made in the demonstration area. The city of Lisbon has offered financial and tax incentives to support these activities. Regarding mobility, the demonstration area has been defined by the municipality as a low emission zone, and regulations have recently been adopted to promote improvements in air quality, and the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the use of public transportation by citizens. The area at issue is being crossed by thousands of people each day, either commuters or tourists visiting the historic areas. In defining the scope of the demonstration area, the following factors were taken into consideration: ongoing projects sponsored by the municipality, such as the low emission zone (ZER); installation of urban sensors; public access WiFi; availability of resources, such as EV charging points; chart showing the solar energy potential of downtown buildings; potential to reach and engage citizens; existence of buildings and associated infrastructure owned by the municipality or by local private project partners fit for the implementation of the proposed measures; availability of infrastructure, such as public squares, where large numbers of citizens can congregate (for demonstration and engagement purposes). 6 SHARING CITIES DEMONSTRATION AREA Downtown in numbers District functions (estimates in %) • Inhabitants: 100,000 • Living: 25 • Jobs: 160,000 approx. • Working: 40 • Area: 10km² • Leisure: 35 District smart city development focus • Mobility: a low emission zone, air quality; adoption of EVs and public transportation • Data monitoring and Internet of Things: network of district monitoring sensors and a district monitoring data platform • Building retrofit: incentives for refurbishment, work on buildings to improve energy efficiency *For full information on the demonstration area see Annex 1 ‘Smart City Solutions’ 7 3. GENERAL SMART CITY VISION AND AMBITION The approach the city has taken to become smarter, whether it has a smart city strategy or not, which are the general priority areas in the city and which are specific to the Sharing Cities programme. SMART CITY STRATEGY/APPROACH Our ambitious Lisbon-Europe 2020 Strategic Plan focuses on the creation of a large scale open innovation ecosystem, in line with the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) drafted within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors. The 2012 Municipal Master Plan provides for the SEAP’s implementation by fostering the adoption of best practices to promote a more sustainable performance of city neighbourhoods, based on sustainable plan assessments: improved energy efficiency in public infrastructure; street lighting; and integration of renewable energy technologies. In 2015, Lisbon strengthened its political commitment by being the first capital city to join the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, adopting an integrated approach to mitigating and adapting to climate change. The Lisbon Atlantic Capital of Europe project was distinguished with the ISOCARP Award for Excellence in Planning. Lisbon’s smart city strategy focuses on the citizens and their needs. Technology is only a means to an end - to achieve a sustainable, competitive, participative, creative, and innovative citizen-centric smart city. Lisbon has defined a strategy for its development over the next decades, based on a strong investment commitment from the municipality. The main goals that the city wants to achieve are: • More people: Lisbon wants to attract more inhabitants by promoting housing, smart living, and smart ageing. It aims to attract researchers as well as highly skilled professionals and entrepreneurs by investing in R&D activities and in higher education. • More employment: the city wants to stimulate the local economy by building human capital, promoting innovation and the knowledge economy, and exploring the full potential of the available resources in a sustainable manner. • A better city: improving the quality of life in the city; energy efficiency; mobility; social cohesion and inclusiveness; regenerating buildings and neighbourhoods in a poor state of repair; optimising the city’s systems and services and interconnecting them in a citizen-centric, participative way. 8 GENERAL SMART CITY VISION AND AMBITION Priority areas In general: Within Sharing Cities • Mobility: a low emission zone, air quality; • Citizen engagement EV and public transportation adoption by • Sustainable energy management systems citizens. (SEMS) • Data monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT): • Building retrofit network of district monitoring sensors and a district monitoring data platform building • Shared e-mobility retrofit: incentives for refurbishment of • Smart lamp posts buildings to increase energy efficiency. • Urban sharing platform • Climate resilient city fostering water resilience and inclusive urban regeneration. LATEST SMART CITY RELATED ACTIONS AND OTHER PROJECTS Citizen engagement My Neighbourhood project The My Neighbourhood project has received funding from the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme. Sustainable Energy Management System (SEMS) InovGrid InovGrid was an innovative project aiming to create smart homes with reduced investment for consumers, and to improve the national electricity grid by developing an active and intelligent management system. Framed around the concept of ‘intelligent electricity grids of the future’, it has been successful in the adaptation of the electricity distribution system to the new requirements of the market by allowing access for microgeneration projects. The most visible result of InovGrid was the Energy Box, a smart meter that allows remote assistance and monitoring
