Michael Ludwig | Mayor and Governor of Vienna

Vienna is known as a global pioneer when it comes to Smart City issues. We have a clear strategy in which ideas and input from local people and innovative impulses from the business, technology and research communities are brought together to serve a common purpose. Smart City Wien aims to be Europe's "digitalisation capital"! We embrace new technologies and are interested in innovations that provide valuable services to everyone living in our city while simultaneously helping us to protect the environment and save the climate. That's why we take a far-sighted approach to developing and upgrading our urban infrastructure. We also need smart, affordable, accessible solutions that really do make life simpler for us all. The focus, at all times, remains on people and their needs.

Ulli Sima | Executive City Councillor for Innovation, Urban Planning and Mobility

Our aim is to work together to make Vienna an even more liveable city. And that can only succeed if we position ourselves as a Smart City that prioritises digitalisation of processes alongside participatory urban planning and eco-friendly mobility options. By fostering this diversity, Vienna can protect the climate and the environment while positioning itself as a tech pioneer in fields such as artificial intelligence and healthcare. This balanced mix is the essence of a Smart City and will ensure that Vienna remains a lovable, liveable city in the decades ahead and for generations to come.

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy sets out guidelines for the medium- to long-term transformation of the city. Today, new challenges and trends are requiring intelligent cities to step up and take action at comparatively short intervals. The threat of climate crisis, for instance, appears increasingly imminent and calls for ambitious responses and the capacity to adapt.

As a Smart City, Vienna thus has to measure its progress in order to steer it more effectively. To this end, Vienna has updated its Smart City Wien Framework Strategy (based on the results of the first Smart City monitoring process) in order to maintain its leading position and continue setting new standards. The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2019-2050 was adopted by Vienna City Council on 26 June 2019. The revised strategy builds upon the goals and objectives of the original 2014 version and retains the central tenet of Smart City Wien:

"High quality of life for everyone in Vienna through social and technical innovation in all areas, while maximising conservation of resources."

Vienna is the city with the highest quality of life and life satisfaction in the world.

Vienna focuses on social inclusion in its policy design and administrative activities.

Vienna reduces its local per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, and by 85 per cent by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).

Vienna reduces its local per capita final energy consumption by 30 per cent by 2030, and by 50 per cent by 2050 (compared to the baseline year of 2005).

Vienna reduces its material footprint of consumption per capita by 30 per cent by 2030, and by 50 per cent by 2050.

By 2030 Vienna is an innovation leader.

Vienna is Europe's digitalisation capital.

The goals and objectives in detail

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy defines 65 individual objectives in 12 thematic fields.

The Urban Innovation Vienna Energy Center played a leading role in co-developing the energy and climate objectives for individual sectors (cf. energy supply, buildings, other energy consumption). In the interests of transparency, all assumptions, considerations and data sources on which the calculations were based are detailed in the following document (German only).

A blueprint for the transformation of Vienna

The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy provides a solid long-term foundation, a blueprint, for Vienna's transformation into a sustainable urban living environment: sectoral initiatives, thematic concepts and various other projects all build upon it.

Power consumption in Dubai surged 10 per cent in the first half of the year compared with the previous year as demand picked up in the commercial and residential sectors in the emirate, according to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority's chief executive.

“Everybody is coming to Dubai and [demand from] the residential and commercial sector is increasing,” Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer told The National on the sidelines of Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (Wetex) in Dubai on Tuesday.

Dubai Emiratis ordered to get free electricity connection

Shaikh Mohammed also gave orders to exempt Emiratis in Dubai from connection charges of electricity to their new houses with a maximum of AED 25000 for each house as well as to give them a free quota of a maximum of 6000 kWh a month for each house.

“Water and electricity are national assets which have to be protected from wasting and therefore preserved for future generations,” Shaikh Mohammed said.

Dubai has been considered as the epitome of urbanization, modern architecture and rapid change. Forty years ago, most of today’s Dubai was nothing but desert. Now, that same space is home to more than two million people from 200 nations, a bustling economy, and nearly 150 skyscrapers over 150 meters tall. Dubai’s radical development can be attributed almost entirely to one man: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, monarch of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.

Amsterdam is connected to the North Sea through the long North Sea Canal. Amsterdam is intensely urbanised, as is the Amsterdam metropolitan area surrounding the city.

-Amsterdam constrained and influenced by the surrounding natural environment, progressive periods of physical expansion since the mid-13th century have resulted in spatial planning characteristics that are unique to the city. In particular, its extensive system of canals are perhaps the most prominent physical feature, and were the product of successive and carefully conceived urban planning and development initiatives designed within the context of a city built on a low-lying coastal landscape.

Sustainable mobilty in Amsterdam:

Eco-friendly transportation within Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of Europe's most sustainable cities when it comes to local transport. One reason is the high proportion of cyclists and pedestrians in Amsterdam’s transport mix: approximately 40% of all travelling in the city takes place by bicycle and 30% by walking. However, as mentioned earlier, public transit has been transformed in the past year, with all trams, subway trains and many buses running on green electricity since 2019.

On top of that, several taxi companies (including TCA) use electric or hydrogen powered taxis. More than 75% of the commercial canal boats went electric and qualify as CO2 emission-free. And the city is investing in projects regarding Smart Mobility and Mobility as a Service (including shared electric cars and scooters).

Amsterdam is well on its way to becoming the global capital of emission-free mobility. The city's ambitious plan is to have 95% emission-free public transit by 2025 and to be completely emission-free by 2030. Local transportation is making huge strides and now the focus has shifted to stimulate business and leisure travellers to Amsterdam to choose environmental-friendly transportation.

Amsterdam's meetings and events industry embraces the city's sustainability goals: this is how you can reduce your carbon footprint and travel in an eco-friendly way to your meeting or event in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is a top destination for green meetings

Amsterdam is one of Europe's top destinations for sustainable meetings and events. The city ranks highly on eco-friendly transportation, has plenty of sustainable event venues to offer, is a pioneer in green hotels and offers numerous options for sustainable leisure activities and conscious (group) dining.

But for a city that strives to be circular, carbon-neutral and climate adaptive by 2050 (link in Dutch), ambitions go beyond local and regional sustainability success. The City of Amsterdam wants to motivate and stimulate visitors to choose the most environmentally-friendly option to get to the city, especially if business and leisure visitors to Amsterdam live just 750 kilometres, or less, away.

What is the most eco-friendly way to get to your meeting in Amsterdam?

Sustainable transportation to your meeting destination is easy to organise: train travel. Did you know you can already reduce carbon emissions by 70% when travelling by train instead of taking a short-haul flight? Especially with short distances up to 750 km. This is because most fuel is consumed during the take-off and landing of an aircraft, so for long distances, relatively less fuel is consumed per kilometre travelled.

A car has the same fuel consumption over the entire distance. If you travel by car, you need to travel with several people in one vehicle to achieve lower emissions per person. Buses get much better rankings on climate-friendliness than cars, but are not frequently used for business travel in the MICE industry.

Still want/need to fly? Airline Air France-KLM offers its customers an option to compensate CO2 emissions, called CO2ZERO. With a small contribution you invest in CO2 reduction projects and you can make your flight CO2 neutral.

More benefits of travelling by train

Trains from London, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Frankfurt and Berlin all arrive right in the heart of Amsterdam (Central Station) on a frequent basis. Taking into consideration that short-haul flights still require travel time to and waiting time at the airport, train travel often also has a time advantage. In addition, trains offer a comfortable way to travel and potentially productive too; you can bring a laptop and work on the train. Most international trains provide sockets to charge your laptop.

The high-speed train to Amsterdam: Thalys, Eurostar, ICE Deutsche Bahn

The Thalys high-speed train has been operational between Paris and Amsterdam since 2010, with a maximum speed of 300 kilometres per hour, reducing the travelling time between both cities to 3.20 hours - and between Brussels and Amsterdam to 1.50 hours.

Eurostar started services between London, Brussels and Paris in 1994. It added a direct London to Amsterdam service in October 2020, which takes around 4 hours and stops in Lille, Paris, Brussels-Midi and Rotterdam.

Deutsche Bahn offers several high-speed ICE connections with speeds up to 300km/h, connected with IC trains. The trip from Berlin to Amsterdam can take around 6.20 hours, while Frankfurt - Amsterdam will take only 3.50 hours.

Oslo has an amazing public transportation system called Ruter. The distance between places are not too long and this is a great chanca for you to exercise. People are generally riding bikes for transportation and thisis one of the reasons why Oslo is a clean and eco-friendly. Also local municipalities gives you a chance to rent a bike instead of using your personal car.

Since we say that Singapore is a smart city, let's look out it's intiatives to make it a smart city.
I think, it's main vision is to make life easier for the citizens.

✌️ GoBusiness: a platform that business-owners can reach the government easily.

✌️ CODEX: almost the same thing as GoBusiness, government and special sector are working together to create helpful and effective platforms.

✌️ LifeSG: Helps citizens to reach the government and easily access it's services.

Also, Singapore improved it's services about Health too.

✌️ HealthHub: helps citizens reach their medical records easily.

✌️ TeleHealth: it brings healthcare to houses, via digital screens!

✌️ National Steps Challenge™ & Healthy 365 App: it's basically a step-tracker that tries to encourage Singapore citizens to be more healthy.
