Smart city implementation needs to be underpinned by strong policy mandate and dedicated implementation capabilities Overall Governance Structure An indicative structure of SCPO from Draft Blueprint 16
The digital framework provides the foundational technical capabilities required to enable various smart city services 17
Open data is an important resource to help stimulate new applications and innovation for improving city services To continue the implementation and adoption of open data: Establish governance structure and appoint a central coordination party e.g., CDO to champion the cause and serve as an evangelist of open data in the community Conduct current inventory of existing datasets, prioritise their release, and monitor data statistics and feedback to ensure relevance and usefulness Establish KPIs that can effectively assess open data effectiveness and then market milestones to the community Improve on Hong Kong s existing data.gov.hk portal by automating release of datasets and implementing APIs Establish common practices and formats for data release and usage 18
Ability to balance the need of protecting personal data and effective use of such data is key to smart city implementation Privacy concerns IoT Platform Big Data Open Data Work jointly with the PCPD to adapt privacy principles based on Privacy by Design for smart city capabilities and implement additional measures Set policies and specify practices around consent, transparency, and de-identification Consider legislative changes and/or sector-specific industry guidelines/practices 19
Smart city calls for close collaboration among the public sector, private sector, academia and citizens When used effectively, Public-Private Partnerships can provide various benefits: 1. Encouraging private sector to develop and promote innovation in the industry 2. Optimising both public and private sector skill and expertise 3. Encouraging private sector to invest in public sector infrastructure projects and services 4. Facilitating the public sector to focus on project outcomes and benefits from the onset 5. Emphasis on quality in projects 6. Effective risk allocation 7. Helping the public sector pay for services 8. Greater budgetary certainty for the public agency 20
Smart City pilots allow the Government to test innovative solutions in a managed and controlled manner A list of criteria has been developed to help identify appropriate smart city pilot proposals: Can be implemented in a relatively short timeframe Are highly relevant to the community Bring tangible benefits to the community Have the potential for territory-wide implementation Are likely to be sustainable in the long term 21
Against the criteria, six pilot areas have been suggested for the consideration of the Government Pilot Smart Public Transport Interchanges/Major Bus Stops Smart Intelligent and Integrated Poles Smart Theme Smart Mobility Smart Government Intelligent Signalised Junctions and Pedestrian Lights Smart Mobility Smart Parking Smart Mobility Science Park and The Chinese University of Hong Kong Smart Region Living Lab for Smart City Smart People, Smart Living, Smart Mobility, Smart Environment Cultural and Heritage Tourism in Central District Smart Economy 22
An innovation framework should be adopted to facilitate continuous innovations in Hong Kong as a smart city even after initial pilot projects 23
Some challenges that need to be addressed for Hong Kong to realise the potential benefits brought about by smart city Stakeholder engagement Data sharing for public and private data Privacy Commercial considerations Standard Testing ground living lab Availability of talent Coordination between different bureaux and departments Procurement approach 24
The momentum of Smart City in Hong Kong continues The Consultancy Study serves as a reference for the development of a smart city blueprint for Hong Kong The Government will consult stakeholders and various sectors of the community to reach consensus in order to formulate a smart city blueprint that appropriate reflects stakeholder expectations and situation in Hong Kong The Government aims to publish the blueprint before the third quarter of 2018 25
Public consultation is now underway to help inform the Government on prioritisation of resources Do Participate! The opening period of this public views collection exercise (https://www.smartcity.gov.hk/) will be until September 2017 26
