Wednesday, 1 June 2016 Smart Cities in Practice 09:30 – 11:00 While the term Smart Cities is still widely debated and lacks a universal definition, cities around the world have been using the term in their own ways when implementing projects with the Smart Cities label on them.

Different visions and Smart City projects will be presented, showcasing the diversity of ‘smartness’ and highlighting the aspects that really matter from a city perspective. 09:30 – 09:40

Smart Low-Carbon Cities 11:00 – 12:30 Cities account for two-thirds of the world’s overall energy consumption and are responsible for about 70 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. To tackle this issue and turn their communities into lowcarbon cities, local governments have adopted a variety of ‘smart’ concepts, frameworks and tools to achieve their emission reduction goals. This session will explore the different ‘smart’ approaches cities are using to scale up their efforts towards achieving carbon neutrality. 11:00 – 11:10

Smart Productive Cities 14:00 – 15:30 Cities need to look beyond conventional sectorial procedures and governance structures to address the complex urban sustainability challenges they are facing.

Examples include vertical farming, circular economy and urban retails. 14:00 – 14:10
