<p class="MsoPlainText">Also my suggestion is why not submit this for the Earth Observation Science 2.0 Conference of the ESA

<p class="MsoPlainText">I had a phone call with Pierre Philippe Mathieu of the European Space Agency yesterday to discuss other collaborations in Summer Schools etc with the Research Data Alliance and CODATA, so i can follow up with if you agree. The ESA conference
has much more impact than the Wessex conference.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">299 words, how close are we to something we can submit our plans for a city we all want to live in? I may have spent too much time defining the problem versus specifying the solution. All criticism welcome!!! As long as it comes with
a constructive alternative. : -)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">CitySmart - The Open Platform for Smart Cities<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The world is shrinking, actually we are getting larger in it, and the cities have to absorb today’s exponential increase in population. World population since the ‘second industrial’ revolution after 1850s has grown from 1 billion to
almost 8 billion today. In 1950 at a mere 2.5 billion, we were almost evenly distributed between rural and urban. Today, in the developed world, approximately 80% of the population lives in cities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This is creating very difficult conditions for sustainability, much more simply managing basic city services. We must learn to be more efficient along with being more effective. To most wisely achieve this goal, we need a more collective
approach to problem-solving. Many, if not most of the challenges facing the cities of today are quite similar in nature, if not identical, from infrastructure management to essential public services. Why must each city solve these problems alone? If the cities
of the world were to share solutions with each other, they could each focus on different parts of the problem and thereby only bear the burden for a small fraction of the load. And by working together we may come to better appreciate what we share in common
as well as experience the joys of being able to help each other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We propose to establish a single, open source, virtual globe platform, CitySmart, with an open API for functionalities (the menu system). We will seed this platform with an initial suite of functionalities that include tools for managing
a renewable power grid, wind and solar, based on the success stories of municipalities in northern Italy. We will include functionalities for managing input of LiDAR data and infrastructure such as water and sewer. This will be in concert with the City of
Springfield Oregon, who has made significant advances in these areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
