About the research
• Sponsored by Nokia to illustrate the experience and learnings from a number of cities at different stages on the smart city journey
• Carried out by Machina Research, a specialist analyst and consulting company focused on IoT
• Focused on those aspects of smart cities that are most closely aligned to the IoT.
• 22 cities of varying sizes, geographies and levels of progress in terms of ‘smartness’ so as to investigate the key parameters and lessons involved in becoming smart.

Why cities need to become smart
• Demographic pressures
• Environmental pressures
• Fragility - vulnerability to ‘shocks’ and ‘stresses’
• Financial pressures and a need to ‘do more with less’
• Economic pressures - increased competition between cities within and across regions
5Machina Research
Technology and business enablers
• More and better connectivity options
• A new role for the public sector in driving, supporting and financing communications infrastructure.
• New tools and paradigms for ingesting, managing, storing and analyzing data, including cloud architectures and machine learning
• Open data models in the public sector
• The Living Labs paradigm for research and development
• Smartphones as a near-ubiquitous sensing and user interface device
• Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-service (SaaS)
• Open source software and open APIs as a counter to proprietary lock-in
• New financing and funding paradigms, especially Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and vendor financing

Key messages
1. Data matters. So does sharing it, on the right terms. Cities need to put in place rules, to make sure that they get the most benefit from data assets.
2. Coordination of smart initiatives across different departments doesn’t just happen. Getting it right requires forethought and leadership.
3. Ultimately it’s the citizens that are paying for the smart city. Vendors and city authorities need to engage them make the benefits visible.
4. Procurement departments need to be better educated. This will enable them to evaluate bids more effectively and allow for new kinds of relationship
5. The best project structures enable cities to work closely with ICT vendors without getting locked into proprietary ecosystems
6. Smart city solutions can help to revive declining cities or districts, and this can build support and mobilize resources for projects

Smart City Infrastructure

Citizens
MunicipalityA mature smart city enables individual citizens, businesses, NGOs and the municipality itself (including its business processes and its IT systems, and sensors attached to its physical assets) to:• Contribute data• Extract data• Create and make use of
applications (including automated controls) based on that data.
Machina Research
Three routes: Anchor, Platform, BetaAnchor City Platform City Beta City
• Adds working applications in series
• A clear and pressing need for one application
• Others are added as priorities dictate
• Focuses on deploying infrastructure first
• Several applications can be delivered later
• Experiments with multiple
applications without a
finalised plan for how to
bring pilots to full
deployment
• Accepts that currently
available technologies and
business models are
provisional
• Prioritises hands-on
experience over short-
term/medium-term tangible
benefits.
9Machina Research
No single path to smartness for cities
• We do not believe that one of these three routes is the ‘right’ answer.
o Each has something to recommend it, and which one fits best will depend on the city’sresources, issues, and priorities.
o A ‘beta’ approach may deliver more visible ‘easy wins’ quickly.
o An ‘anchor’ approach might be absolutely determined by a single issue, such as preparationsfor earthquakes, which dwarfs all others.
• Few cities are pursuing an absolutely pure form of one of these routes.
o Most have something of more than one route;
o Either they are hedging their bets, or are in the process of shifting from one route to another.
o Several are at such an early stage that they have not yet settled down into one route oranother.

Which route is best for your city?Anchor City Platform City Beta City
Short path to deployment Concrete gains and easy to
evaluate ROI Use case driven
Synergies between applications are possible
Smooth path to integration Future flexibility Can engage third parties via APIs
and open data Capabilities and performance “by
design”
Engagement with citizens and politicians
Access to funding for trials and research
Easy involvement of start-ups and small innovative companies
Opportunity to use many tools including consumer-grade internet applications (e.g. Twitter, WeChat)
Future integration can be hard Absence of synergies between
applications
Absence of mature standards can make specification and choice hard
Risk of lock-in Upfront investment without initial
RoI from applications
Hard to go beyond pilot and achieve operational deployment
Diffusion of focus

Why did Nokia commission this Smart Cities Playbook?
• Ubiquitous connectivity, IoT technologies, and smart services have become
focal points of the discussion and planning around smart cities
• Smarter infrastructure and applications only make a difference when they enrich
people’s lives; and respond to cities’ and citizens’ real needs
• Cut through the clutter, and understand cities’ real challenges and strategies
• Identify best practices, leading to a pragmatic set of recommendations
• Provide concrete guidance to city leaders and stakeholders, to make their
municipalities smarter, safer and greener

What does it take to become a smart city?
• Advanced applications to ensure the
best use of urban assets and data to
create a smart, safe and sustainable
environment
• This requires shareable, secure and
scalable connectivity and platform
infrastructure that combines
everything from the network to the
devices, the applications, and the data
• An open ecosystem, standards-
based solutions and a continuous
dialog with/between city leaders,
stakeholders, and citizens

Network and platform infrastructure can make or break a smart city
Shared• Wireless and wireline broadband access and IoT connectivity
• Applications and data over a single IP/optical network
• A ‘horizontal’ city platform, with a common set of capabilities
• Real time access to applications, anytime and everywhere
Secure• Endpoint and data protection
• Device management, authentication and authorization
• Traffic profiling and encryption
Scalable• Fast take-up of sensor devices and applications
• Massive growth in network traffic, data, and analytics
• Huge variety in applications and traffic profiles
• Critical applications need low latency and edge computing

Nokia’s smart city engagement is built upon open collaboration
• We work with independent and recognized analysts to identify best practices,
and provide concrete guidance to city leaders and stakeholders
• We partner with 300 companies, members of our ng Connect ecosystem,
to bring innovative services to governments, citizens and businesses
• We participate to standardization initiatives to collectively define the best
technology and architectures to realize the smart city vision
• We deliver a shared, secure and scalable foundation to support smart city
applications, now and for the future
• We help create smart anchor, platform and beta cities around the world
