Nottingham ready to beat...
As Theresa May signs into law a commitment to bring the UK’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, one city in the UK is on its way to achieving this goal 22 years sooner As one of her final acts as Prime Minister, Theresa May , announced that she will be signing into law a pledge to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 . This would make Britain the first member of the G7 to make such a commitment official. The announcement was largely applauded by environmental groups but there was also criticism of how the target will be met and whether it is in fact feasible. However, one city in the UK is making strides to be net zero all on their own 22 years earlier. Nottingham , located 200 km north of London, has been on the forefront of reducing carbon emissions since 2000 when it signed the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change . Since then they have been ahead of schedule in meeting the 2020 targets set out in the Kyoto protocol back in 2005 and they have already surpassed their own 2020 Energy Strategy targets of a 26% reduction in carbon emissions having reduced emissions by 39%. Now, spurred on in part by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2018 report , Nottingham City Council has pledged to be net zero by 2028 . To meet such lofty goals the city has invested in one of the UK’s largest electric bus fleets , expanded their tram network, runs many services on renewable sources, improved cycling facilities and installed solar panels on over 4500 domestic properties. An interesting feature of Nottingham’s strategy though has been retaining control of key assets, such as heat networks and transport systems , along with a desire to build in-house ability. “There has been a policy of trying to push things forward and retain municipal control,” says Jonathan Ward, Principal Energy Policy Officer with Nottingham City Council. By taking this approach, the city has been able to provide energy and heat to its citizens in a responsible and affordable way through initiatives like the creation of Robin Hood Energy . This not-for-profit company is owned by city council and aims to distribute low cost energy and address fuel poverty . As of 2018, 100% of the electricity they provide is renewable. The council also owns a heat network that supplies heat to business and residents along with smart meter functions. Ward explains that in council, “there’s been an ethos of making sure these measures are a just transition as well.” This, “just transition” is another key feature of Nottingham’s climate change strategy. “It shouldn’t be a message of less,” believes Ward, “rather how do we do things differently and improve other things at the same time.” To this aim they are involved in several building refurbishment projects aimed directly at improving citizens quality of life, many of which are funded in part by the European project Remourban . As part of this venture, the council was able to roll out the ultra low-energy home pilot program based on the sustainable Energiesprong concept. This method can retrofit and refurbish flats using prefabricated components in a few days with a 30-year warranty. Once completed these homes are energy efficient, net zero residences that use renewable energy created from the structure. The Nottingham Energiesprong scheme entails renovations to 150 homes and is focused on some of the older houses which are currently difficult to heat and will lift these residents out of fuel poverty. Despite all these initiatives and success stories, there is only some much local authorities can do to address this global problem, and so Nottingham welcomes the commitment made at the national level . “Cities have been setting ambitious targets for some time,” says Ward, “but it is great when you got the international and national targets driving things.” He believes the 2050 target is beneficial because it will provide a country wide framework for everyone to plan and work around. By raising the national minimum requirements and adding stronger weights to sustainability, considerations alongside economic and housing targets local planners should be able to do more. The pledge will also help address things outside of local control, such as the countries energy grid, the evolution of industry and the electrification of transport. By Bradley van Paridon

Webinar - The Integrated...
Thursday 19th of June, 2019 at 14:00h (CEST / UTC+2) Over the past few years a new trend has been spreading in Europe. The concept of smart cities has gained momentum in connection with the sustainable development of urban areas and, hence, the life quality of their inhabitants. By means of using digital technologies as a vector to increase the efficiency of a large number of urban functions and services, several solutions are being developed and tested in the fields of Energy Efficiency, Mobility and ICT. The REMOURBAN Project tackles those three areas in its demonstration sites, where energy efficiency in buildings, transport decarbonisation and the development of digital platforms are being put to the test. To do that in a systematic way, the Urban Regeneration Model for European cities (URM) has been developed as a methodology to help cities make the best mix of innovative technical and non-technical solutions to accelerate their transformation into smart and more sustainable cities. An insight into the URM and how it can bring European cities forward will be presented to the audience. Next, the city of Valladolid (Spain) will be presented as a case study. Representatives of the Municipality of Valladolid (Spain), a city leader in the field of electric mobility and energy efficiency, will illustrate how the development of its Sustainable Urban Development Strategy was shaped by the URM. Finally, the webinar will shed light into how and why the URM could also be used by other cities interested in undergoing similar urban development paths as Valladolid. This webinar is part of a series of six webinars organised by the REMOURBAN project. It will be held in English and will last approximately 45 minutes. Click here to join the webinar on Thursday, 19th June at 14.00h CEST AGENDA, SPEAKERS & MODERATOR Introduction - Matthieu Grosjean:Project Manager, Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum Introductory words on Project REMOURBAN and this webinar.

Conference:...
IMPACT>MOBILITY June 24-25, 2019 Amsterdam. City of Amsterdam host to IMPACT>MOBILITY – 50 European Cities Meet to Create the Partnerships & Build the Data Marketplace to Deliver Scalable & Monetisable Mobility as a Service European cities are at a tipping point; with ambitious sustainability goals to hit, they are doubling down on urban mobility. They are looking to drive people outside of private cars and into shared sustainable transportation solutions. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) provides an interesting alternative that meets the demands of the on-demand consumer of the 21st century. However, there is a long way to go before it is fully integrated to public transportation to create the seamless intermodal experience that will drive people out of their own vehicle into shared sustainable mobility solutions. At Impact>Mobility we explore the key topics affecting the future of urban mobility ‘‘By using more advanced systems and data it would be possible to fend off certain vehicles in a dynamic way… this way of managing flows could have a big impact on traffic flows and air quality in cities.’’ - Lizann Tjon, Program Director, Innovation, City of Amsterdam IMPACT>MOBILITY has been carefully designed to examine the business model and platform/data management challenges underpinning MaaS to find a win-win between the commercial imperatives of mobility service providers and the sustainability aims of the public sector. With 50+ European cities attending and 10+ city specific-case studies presented on stage, we bring together 200 of the leading voices, influencers and gatekeepers to European new mobility deployment. IMPACT>MOBILITY takes place on 24-25 June in Amsterdam - View the conference agenda here.

SAVE THE DATE: NIGHTTIME...
On September 26, we will be hosting a workshop on smart cities and the nighttime economy in NYC. Please save the date! Updates will follow. Thanks to Hoboken-native Frank Sinatra, New York City is known as the “City That Never Sleeps.” In fact, most modern cities never sleep. Today’s metropolises function as 24-hour economies, offering opportunities for entertainment, transportation, business and shopping from dusk till dawn. Life after dark has become a realm of technological and social innovation that offers billions in yet-untapped economic potential, and smart, data-driven solutions promise an even larger portion of the population will be able to participate. But the 24-hour economy comes at a cost; there are issues surrounding transportation and supply of goods and services, public safety and equal access, uses of space and housing. This workshop will bring international stakeholders from industry, academia, government and the public to discuss how cities should be thinking about nighttime planning and how data, innovative approaches and digital solutions can support the social, cultural and economic activities that occur after dark.

Are you . . . * Passionate about the role that the bicycle plays in keeping Amsterdam and the metropolitan area accessible and livable? * Playing an active role in sharing this knowledge internationally? * Experienced with building digital platforms and innovation ecosystems? If so, the City of Amsterdam and the Vervoerregio (Amsterdam Transport Region) could select your organization as the collaboration partner to support the following goals: * Develop and share knowledge about cycling * Stimulate innovation and experimentation in the field of cycling * Profile Amsterdam nationally and internationally as a knowledge cycling city * Stimulate bicycle use to achieve these goals Why? In its Multi-year Bicycle Plan (MJP), the municipality of Amsterdam profiles itself "nationally and internationally as The Knowledge City in the Field of Cycling.” According to the MJP, the City would like to create more room for experimentation in order to solve Amsterdam’s unique cycling challenges, and testing of innovative bicycle concepts plays an integral role in finding those solutions. Amsterdam has been building on knowledge development in the field of cycling in a compact city, and the municipality is now taking a deliberate path toward a stronger profile of sharing knowledge and supporting innovation and experimentation. To achieve these goals, the municipality of Amsterdam and Vervoerregio seek support for the following activities: 1. Digital Knowledge & Innovation Platform Knowledge sharing leads to concrete ideas, projects or initiatives. The winning proposal will need to detail plans for a digital platform which will be in both Dutch and English, through which knowledge and innovations concerning cycling in the Amsterdam region will be bundled and made accessible. It will provide a shared bicycle platform for companies, citizens, academic, municipality, and transport region and social organizations in the field of cycling for the Amsterdam region. The platform will also offer the opportunity to showcase Amsterdam as a cycling city internationally. The platform must be fully transferable, so that it can be managed and further developed by the municipality or third parties at the end of the term of the agreement. 2. Expanded Network in the Field of Cycling The winning proposal will be charged with setting up, mobilizing, and stimulating a powerful network organization. Through this network, the makers, inventors, implementers and policymakers will share bicycle knowledge and will be empowered and supported to develop innovative ideas in close collaboration with the commissioning parties. 3. Receive Delegations The Bicycle platform for knowledge sharing, innovation and experiment has a leading role in receiving international delegations, giving and organizing presentations, and arranging excursions for the many delegations that are expected in Amsterdam and throughout the region.

Help build an open market...
Help build an open market for data and win 750,000 euro Enter the competition and win up to 750,000 euro in co-financing for your idea for an open, trusted and fair market for data sharing. A market that is scalable and broadly applicable and that allows parties in the Amsterdam area to work on a smart, green and healthy region. Data: fuel for innovation Data fuels growth and innovation and offers new opportunities for a smarter, greener and healthier society. In healthcare for example, data can predict epidemics, prevent diseases and improve treatments. Or what about governments, that can use data to offer better and more efficient public transport. Freight carriers use data to share capacity utilization rates with parties interested in cargo space, data can make production and waste flows transparent and so many more applications are conceivable. Concerns about data sharing But at the same time, only a fraction of all data is shared. Uncertainty about safety, privacy, property rights and concerns with regards to a unfair market playing field, make the process of exchanging data so expensive, inefficient and legally cumbersome that parties prefer not to exchange data at all. As a result, data exchange is often limited to open (government) data. Other data such as commercial and industrial data, is not widely shared. A real data economy requires a shared, trusted infrastructure that, in combination with the right incentives, entices parties to share data, because this benefits themselves or a common goal. I.e. an open, trusted and fair market for data. Inspirational examples National and international experiments are being conducted in various collaborations with data markets that offer a solution to the above challenges. For instance: - Amsterdam Data Exchange ( AMDEX ): in the metropolitan area, public and private partners work together on the development of a data exchange; - IShare and Data Logistics 4 Logistics Data : sharing confidential and uniform data between partners in the logistics chain; - Personal Health Train : various institutes work together to share health data confidentially; - International Data Spaces : various international data sharing initiatives; - IOTA : the realization of data markets for sensor data. Want to participate? Are you an organization that is familiar with digital technology and do you know how to use your knowledge for a smart, green and healthy region?
