The smart city initiatives have changed the landscape of how business is carried out in the past, conventionally, by its disruptive nature. For a city to be smart, services implemented in a fragmented manner may hinder the aspiration of the city to be smart due to the constraints that comes along with this mode of delivery. From a delivery perspective, it is important to have a complete eco-system view of the entire smart city aspirations from the beginning. The complete view will ensure how system of systems communicate with each other effectively and provide the necessary information required by the city in a timely manner in the way it is intended to be. Hence the importance of a design thought process at the beginning of the smart city initiative is imperative. In this slot, we will be sharing our experience on how we adopt this approach to deliver a sustainable digital ecosystem of services. We will also be sharing our success stories in this respect to further emphasize the importance and need to be able to adopt to this approach for a sustainable digital ecosystem deployment to make a city smart effectively.

Malaysia is moving from a digital transformation towards the realization of a digital nation. A digital nation can be defined as a country in which urban and rural citizens, governments, and businesses live in a digital society that interacts and generates value, which benefits all stakeholders. The concept of digital nations is broader and more encompassing than smart cities, as it covers an entire country. Pursuing cashless initiatives could be an important step in delivering smarter cities. Cities that implement cashless payments for government services and incentivise businesses to do the same could see economic benefits, including direct cost reductions, time savings, renewed economic activity and increased use of public services. TNGD will explain more on the benefits and what it can do to help the nation.

Industrial 4.0 trends are emerging where Geospatial technology and workflows are increasingly critical to organisations. As a network of organizations, with our individual missions amongst the broader community, this presentation describe on how do we achieve effective collaboration and strike a balance to achieve manageable interoperability. Design being informed by location (Living Cities, IOTs, improving project lifecycles, Open Data, BIM, 3D, Analytics) allows organization to achieve the key smart cities pillars in achieving Smart Cities (Living Cities) goals (governmental and especially community stake holders).

Smart City will be an important feature in the future of humankind. Although one can argue that the level of 'smartness' of a Smart City can be measured using different perceptual metrics, the most commonly acceptable approach is via the numbers of smart and intelligent systems that is being deployed for the city.

In this session, the speaker will discuss and share how the CAISER research Team from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has helped the Network Monitoring team of Perbadanan Putrajaya to implement an intelligent network monitoring system that helped to ensure the availabillity and uptime of major network infrastructure for Putrajaya since 2014.

The system that was developed integrates sensor data from more than 350 sensors, CCTVs and other sub-systems with event detection capabillities in Real-Time and is also incorporated with siren, SMS, email and Telegram notification for close loop Crowd Actuation based rectification of detected anomalous event. This system encorporates almost all of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 elements and is a real-life case study on how core elements of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 can be used to develop intelligent applications for Smart City.

A Smart City must encompass the major stakeholders and strive to create a conducive environment for them to thrive. This includes the interests of the city council, its citizens, business community and visitors/tourists. With an integrated mobile app platform, various touch points can be leveraged to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders. A solution is ready today in Putrajaya.

The delivery of sustainability goals is necessary to consider development at the macro scale by incorporating the sustainability principles into the urban and city planning, moving beyond the individual building level..Sustainable cities and communities enable the arrangement of buildings, public realms, transport system, services and amenities to be more viable, participatory, inclusive and self-sustaining. Sustainable cities and communities could reduce the current development barriers experienced by green buildings and offer more strategic solutions for implementing and realising the local and international sustainability goals.

Empowering cities to think with data-driven governance - Utilizing comprehensive real-time city data, City Brain holistically optimizes urban public resources by instantly correcting defects in urban operations. This has led to numerous breakthroughs in urban government models, service models, and industrial development.

A step towards smart cities - From new developments in ICT technology to mass market IoT, the rise of the smart city has been a long time coming and is a much-needed solution to the many challenges urban cities around the world are currently faced with. Each solution offered by these smart cities is powered by data-driven insights.

An IoT ecosystem is built on the connectivity between products that can gather different kinds of data. The large volume of data is stored, analysed and interpreted to gain valuable insights into a user’s behaviour patterns. High performing smart cities will require massive IoT ecosystems in order to function properly.

From millions of sensors generating volumes of data, governments and businesses can make more efficient use of their resources by understanding how citizens behave, including how they move, how much energy they use, and how they drive their cars.

Big data currently plays an integral role in the development of smart cities, helping people design products and infrastructure that can respond to a citizen’s needs as they evolve. It may be just the tip of the iceberg, but there’s no doubt cities will only continue to get smarter as we better learn to harness the power of data-driven solutions in IoT.

The smart city has started to become a reality in the City of Putrajaya. Today we are moving from small scale projects to smart implementation at bigger scale. Blueprints, Dedicated Focus Team and new approaches have started to move along with IoT, Artificial Intelligence, drones, autonomous, LED, Big Data, EV and other new technology. Thing has started to come into reality. Now we are able to monitor the city with Intelligent Video Analytic technology, having a mobile app panic button wherever we are, received alert if there’s a possible pollution detected and many more. This topic will explain in details about the Putrajaya Smart City Blueprint.

As we are on the cusp of rapid shifts in cities precipitated by technology, it is worth imagining what an autonomous city of the future will look like – and the associated impact it will have on our everyday lives. Cities are beginning to and will continue to, integrate technological dynamism into municipal operations, from transportation to infrastructure repair and more. We will talk about the various shifts in trends in the way smart cities are being developed with the primary goal of creating a city for everyone.

But smart cities require an infrastructure modernization – a high price-tag proposition that can be daunting for many cities. We will discuss various innovative Equity/Debt Based Financing strategies and models that can help cities jump-start their Smart City projects with minimum upfront capital investment and also share the incremental revenue upside coming from data monetization opportunities. These models can help cities around the world transform vision into a reality.

Smart Cities, focusing on the movement towards digital transformation to build smarter communities. This movement would ensure the transition from the customary way of doing things which are already a staple method to great many people, towards a new platform that utilises the digital innovation to be progressively proficient. Utilising paper-based method of doing things would be a relic of past times. In any case, having an idea is just the starting point but how do we get it the engine moving? Since familiarity breeds confidence, how would we make the transition?
