DRAFT: Smart City Architecture and the City of St. Louis Open Geospatial Consortium: Smart Cities Stakeholder Workshop
Outcome and Innovation Driven Smart City Strategy What is the point? What does “smart city” mean to St. Louis: Smart city is more than technology First leverage innovation to take advantage of opportunities and address tough challenges Community engagement in desired outcome determinations and innovation via community and business partnerships Second what outcomes are we trying to achieve then how can technology help achieve / influence outcomes Third identify candidate smart city technologies (start shopping) and conduct proof of concepts and pilots
Open Architecture Keep future technology options open Prevent making decisions that limit future options such as getting locked in to a single product / platform, limiting integration potential, arbitrary cost inflation Pivotal points of integration Understand and assess pivotal points to deliberately target those points of integration from the beginning Standards based Best practices Optimize data and information management Prevent limiting options and/or ability for the city to access it’s own data and/or limiting ways and means of sharing data and providing open data
First Smart City Initiative: Equitable Infrastructure Growth and modernization Equitable Infrastructure growth: Everyone has the same access to technology infrastructure All providers and carriers are treated equally and have the same access Provide robust infrastructure for the equitable deployment of smart city technology including wireless, fiber, etc. Pair and coordinate technology infrastructure growth with smart utilities initiatives such as power and water
Second Smart City Initiative: Equitable Deployment of Technology Public Safety: Crime prevention - Cameras, license plate readers, shot detection, accident detection, smart street lights Emergency Management: Common operating picture, decision support, response coordination Refuse: Cleanup St Louis initiative including the prevention and detection of dumping Open Data and equitable access: Delivery of relevant open data to the community in desired formats and equal access to city services via technology
Third Smart City Initiative: Data visualization to Understand and inform 3D information visualization http://arcg.is/0C1DLX NOW – basic and immediate need Increase visual awareness and understanding: Vacancy, economic development, crime, digital divide, etc. Understand what is out there and happening: Crime prevention, shot detection, accident detection, emergency management and response Consolidate visual platform to access all deployed smart city technology: Camera streams, sensor data, etc. Support a city common operating picture for city operations
Third Smart City Initiative: Understand and inform In future – (maybe depending on desired outcomes) Economic development modeling and opportunity analysis / assessment Disaster response simulation and scenario planning City service delivery planning based on modeling and simulation
