"Local digital twins can promote transparency and accountability in urban decision-making"

An interview with Patricio Reyes, Head of Urban Data Science within the Data Analytics and Visualization Group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center

Lucia Garrido 26 July 2024

Imagine exploring a city and simulating urban interventions with just a few clicks. This is the promise of local digital twins—a virtual mirror reflecting the heartbeat of urban spaces. In a world where the availability of data offers us valuable insights, these digital replicas offer cities a powerful lens through which to envision their future and navigate the complexities of modern urban life.

Patricio Reyes is the head of Urban Data Science within the Data Analytics and Visualization Group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. He is currently leading vCity ( https://www.vcity.tech ) a project to develop digital twins for cities. Patricio explains in this interview the potential of Local Digital Tools in promoting transparent, informed decision making to design the cities of the future.

What are the primary reasons why cities should consider implementing a Local Digital Twin? What key benefits can they expect?

Generally, one of the great benefits—and also one of the great challenges—of Local Digital Twins (LDTs) is their ability to monitor the city's "pulse", serving as a tool for understanding the pulse of the neighbourhoods, which is key to urban decision-making.

LDTs should be included in cities' digitalisation plans, within the process of transparency and support for urban decision-making. They should be viewed as tools designed to integrate different layers of information. In addition, because of their evidence-based approach, LDTs can effectively promote transparency and accountability in urban decision-making.

Can you explain how a Local Digital Twin works and its significance in urban planning and management?

In very simple terms, an LDT is a virtual replica of the city designed to simulate hypothetical interventions. This allows us to analyse and compare scenarios for a review of the impacts of each intervention by virtualizing the "trial and error" process, bringing obvious benefits to cities and the urban planning process in particular.

Given the impact on public policies, urban planners, and by extension the LDT, need a broad and diverse view of the city. By combining information, the LDT provides models that help understand urban processes and generate relevant insights.

Could you elaborate on the practical steps involved in developing and implementing a Local Digital Twin for a city? What role do different actors play?

As mentioned earlier, a crucial part of a Local Digital Twin is its information about the city to understand its dynamics. Sensor data alone is not sufficient. Our approach emphasises understanding what the inhabitants need and want from their city. The diversity of information allows problems to be addressed from different perspectives.

In addition to information, another important part of a Local Digital Twin is the models that generate relevant insights based on the collected data. All of this is presented on a platform where urban planners can interact, ask questions, and create "what-if scenarios" to review the implications of each in their city.

Thus, the citizens, through participatory processes, share their vision of the city they want, which is incorporated into the LDT. In turn, urban planners and policymakers use the LDT to simulate multiple intervention possibilities.

How does the integration of various data sources and technologies play a role in the effectiveness of a Local Digital Twin? How does the concept of data privacy and security factor into the development and use of Local Digital Twins?

This is a very important topic that we believe should be integral to the development process of Local Digital Twins. At the Living-in.EU Digital Forum held in Rotterdam a few months ago, it was emphasised that digitalisation must be people-centred.

This involves, for example, understanding that people need to comprehend the processes by which decisions are made in their city. Initiatives like the Algorithm Register (https://www.algorithmregister.org/), promoted by the Living-in.EU community, aim in this direction. Similarly, LDT models must be as transparent as possible to the public, allowing the community to audit the process. Here, transparency plays a fundamental role.

What are some successful examples or case studies of cities that have effectively leveraged LDTs to enhance their urban environments?

While it may not be the most impactful example, it is quite illustrative: Traffic control centres help cities manage dynamic, multifactorial processes that are difficult to analyse without technology. Authorities can understand congestion problems and offer solutions, thanks to their broad view of the city.

Looking ahead, what do you see as the future trends and developments in the field of Local Digital Twins for cities?

In the future, I would like to see the democratisation of Local Digital Twins adoption by cities. LDTs will be understood as part of the process of "thinking the city," not just as a trendy technology. Smart cities are not those with the most sensors but those that know how to make well-considered decisions with and for the citizens.

Lucia Garrido — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 08:19:22 +0000

The Smart Communities Network met online with the European Commission on 28 June 2024

Read the main takeaways here

Lucia Garrido 25 July 2024

On 28 June 2024, the Smart Communities Network held an online onboarding meeting with the European Commission to discuss future collaboration.

The Smart Communities Network is being established to connect the European Union with the local level in all 27 EU Member States. Currently, the network comprises associations with a local outreach from 18 of the 27 EU Member States, aiming for other Member States to join soon.

During the meeting, the members were introduced to each other and informed about the initiative, which is part of a European Commission project to help cities and communities undergo the digital transformation and improve efficiency, by harnessing from data-driven decision-making, Local Digital Twins, bringing finally economic growth in the digital field.

Attendees, including the members of the Smart Communities Network, project partners, experts and representatives of the European Commission discussed how the collaboration will take shape in the upcoming months. These are the main takeaways:

Highlights of the project:

The project promotes Local Digital Twins (LDTs) to support cities and communities in their digital transformation by leveraging advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, data spaces and simulations. Community support is a key aspect. The project is developing a Procurement Helpdesk to assist cities and municipalities in assessing their digital maturity, creating digitalisation roadmaps and procuring necessary technologies to become smart.

Collaboration details:

Discussions focused on the Smart Communities Network's role and benefits, as well as the legal instrument that will formalise cooperation between the European Commission and network members.

Country-specific sessions:

Hybrid dissemination sessions and online training sessions are planned across all 27 EU Member States to raise awareness and readiness within communities. These sessions are crucial for helping communities understand and adopt digital transformation practices. An informative package will be shared to define and explain the practical aspects of collaboration to organise these sessions.

Experience sharing:

A representative from the Dutch association VNG –the network’s pioneer that has already organised its training and dissemination sessions- shared the experiences and lessons learned. Despite significant interest, high no-show rates suggested the need for stronger engagement strategies. Technical sessions saw success due to hands-on content. It was emphasised that local maturity levels should be considered and both technical experts and policymakers need to be engaged.

Promoting Lordimas:

Lordimas was introduced to the participants, a self-assessment tool for cities and regions to assess their digital maturity. A demonstration of the tool was provided and members were requested to help with proofreading the interface in their local languages.

Introducing LDT CitiVERSE EDIC:

The European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) initiative was explained, highlighting its role in developing multi-country projects and establishing a common understanding of the European CitiVERSE. The initiative aims to transfer knowledge, avoid duplications and promote collaboration across cities and regions.

Information sharing and communication:

The functionalities of the Living-in.EU website were demonstrated, showcasing tools for internal and external communication, document sharing and event updates. Participants were encouraged to explore the platform and provide feedback for improvement in upcoming feedback sessions.

Interactive Q&A session:

The Q&A session addressed concerns such as the division of labour for network members, setting realistic engagement targets and the importance of funding for digital initiatives. Discussions included how regional development agencies can support multiple communities and the need to maximise outreach efforts.

Next steps:

The next network meeting will be held in a hybrid format at the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) in Barcelona in November 2024. Further details will be shared closer to the date. It was a great event to meet all the committed network members, speakers and the European Commission! Looking forward to our next event in Spain.

The European data space for smart communities call for pilots is open!

Submit your proposal until the 31 August

Gabriela Ruseva 10 July 2024

The European Data Space for Smart Communities launched its first call for pilots in June 2024. The Data Space is an EU-wide action creating a cross-sectorial data space for governments on all levels and their providers to deliver the best possible services to their citizens by enabling interoperability of data. The ultimate goal is to make the best use of data to reach critical goals, including the Green Deal.

Aim of the Call for Pilots

The Call for Pilots aims to advance the development and implementation of data spaces. There will be three rounds of the call in 1) June-August 2024 2) September – November 2024 and 3) December 2024 - February 2025. The projects should build on and evolve the governance and technical blueprint of the data space for smart communities. The blueprint was established by the DS4SSCC preparatory action, which comes out of joint efforts of the Living-in.EU movement.

Scope and Pre-conditions

The pilot consortia must create new data services from the data sharing across at least two heterogeneous areas specified below, but can also include other European Green Deal domains:

Predictive traffic management / sustainable mobility planning.
Data-services related to weather, climate and extreme weather events.
Management of energy flows in a city/community specific context.
Zero pollution actions (e.g. air, water, soil, pollution or waste).
Any other domain falling under the New European Bauhaus initiative (urban design, building management, public services, nature-based solutions, amongst others).

Successful applications must meet specific pre-conditions, indicated below:

At least two local or regional public administrations from different EU member states and/or Digital Europe Programme Associated countries. All entities are subject to restrictions due to security reasons. An entity can only be awarded once as Lead Partner.
Applicants need to bear at least 50% of the project costs as direct co-financing. The maximum co-funding from the programme is 1 500 000 euros per pilot (max co-funding per entity 1 000 000 euros).
Proposals should include cross-sectorial (and -border, if feasible) data sharing, and applicants should be sufficiently digitalised - a data platform, digital twin or emerging data space should already be in place in the city/community. The technical solutions should comply with MIM1, MIM2 and MIM6 and be aligned with the Data Spaces Building Blocks & recommended standards and implementations.
The business case should be sufficiently elaborated, with a clear value proposition.
Proposals should be aligned with ethical principles, demonstrated in the Ethical and Data Protection Self-Assessment and legally compliant.

This approach ensures shared investment and commitment from both the EU and the applicants, reflecting partnership and joint responsibility. Co-financing must be monetary and specified in the pilot budget. All activities must comply with regulations, including state-aid rules and avoiding double funding.

AI Act: What Legal Implications for Cities, Regions, and Communities Across the EU?

Viviana Demonte — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 15:01:01 +0000

AI Act: What Legal Implications for Cities, Regions, and Communities Across the EU?

Artificial Intelligence Act

Viviana Demonte 19 June 2024

The Artificial Intelligence Act, a flagship legislative proposal by European legislators, will officially enter into force in August 2024. This Act is pivotal for the European digital strategy, not only because it introduces regulations and obligations for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems (GPAI) for the first time, but also because it underscores the importance of AI systems for European digital innovation.

Public authorities will be among the stakeholders most impacted by this legislation. Cities and regions across the EU are crucial drivers of innovation and will play fundamental roles in this digital transformation. By adhering to the AI Act's stringent guidelines, these entities will help shape a trustworthy and human-centered AI landscape across Europe.

Accordingly, the legal Working Group of Living-in.EU organized an online webinar to discuss the legal implications of the AI Act for cities, regions, and communities across the EU.

Obligations for Deployers and Providers

The webinar offered the opportunity to dive deep into the obligations that will arise for both providers and deployers of AI systems.

Public authorities, which in most cases will fall under the category of deployers, will have to implement various measures, such as the registration of the high-risk system in the relevant EU database, conducting fundamental rights impact assessments prior to the deployment of the AI system, ensuring that the input data is sufficiently representative, and introducing mechanisms to receive requests for explanations on individual decision-making and enable appropriate human oversight.

On the other hand, providers of AI systems will also have to comply with several obligations, such as establishing quality management systems, generating and keeping technical documentation, ensuring conformity assessments, and providing instructions for use.

In some cases, deployers of AI systems could become providers if they make substantial modifications to AI systems or modify the intended purpose of the AI system.

A New European Office & the Role of National Authorities

The governance structure introduced by the AI Act foresees some novelties. National competent authorities will supervise conformity assessments, together with an Advisory Board composed of industries, start-ups, SMEs, and civil society, and a Scientific Panel that will support the implementation and enforcement of GPAI models.

A novelty in the governance structure is the AI Office. Opening its doors in August 2024, the AI Office will regulate GPAI at the European level. It will be responsible for regulation and safety, but also for promotion, innovation, and research.

Regulatory Sandboxes

The AI Act will require Member States (MS) to establish at least one AI regulatory sandbox. These tools aim to support companies and public authorities in developing AI with easy access to authorities in case of questions related to what is allowed or not. The legislation allows MS to jointly develop regulatory sandboxes.

The AI Pact

The AI Pact aims to support providers of AI systems in complying with the regulations arising from the AI Act ahead of the legal deadline. Participants will be provided with a better understanding of the AI Act, responsibilities, and obligations. Moreover, the AI Pact also aims to provide a framework to foster the early implementation of some measures of the AI Act. Organizations interested in becoming part of the AI Pact can still express interest here.

The Example from the Flemish Government

Digital Flanders is committed to embracing the power of AI in a trustworthy manner. In addition to a long-term vision and AI strategy, Digital Flanders is committed to preparing their employees and organization for the changes brought by AI.

A significant example in this regard is given by the Guidelines for Generative AI, which aim to guide public officials in ensuring that GPAI are transparent, accurate, and informative. Currently, these guidelines have been tested on two instruments: Microsoft 365 Copilot and an internal chatbot.

Interested in Knowing More?

The presentations, recording, and useful links are available on the Legal WG dedicated space here.

If you have further questions, or other topics concerning the AI Act that you would like to explore,please share them with viviana.demonte@eurocities.eu and gabriela.ruseva@eurocities.eu. You can also submit your questions to the Slido here by 25 June 2024.

Unlocking the digital potential of EU smart communities

Join the Online Procurement Helpdesk

Lucia Garrido 23 May 2024

The European Commission is calling on cities and communities across the EU to express their interest in the Online Procurement Helpdesk for Smart Communities. This forward-thinking initiative is designed to support cities in advancing their digital maturity, particularly those in the early stages of digital transformation. By participating, communities will gain access to a comprehensive suite of benefits aimed at catalysing digital development and enhancing technological readiness.

Why join?

The Online Procurement Helpdesk offers tailored support and consultancy services to guide cities through the development and realisation of their digital strategies. Participants will receive online advisory services to help assess their technological readiness for implementing MIM-compliant local data platforms.

Kavala is one of the first cities that have tested the programme. "Kavala’s participation equipped the city with a comprehensive assessment of its current IT infrastructure's maturity, a tailored digitalisation roadmap, and strategic guidance on its procurement needs," stated Charalampos Papadopoulos, Director of Planning, Development and Digital Services in Kavala, about the programme, highlighting the focus on open standards and interoperability requirements.

Tailored roadmaps and strategies

Moreover, each city will benefit from a customised digitalisation roadmap, which provides detailed guidance on necessary initiatives and procurement requirements to enhance technical capabilities. This initiative also focuses on identifying procurement needs and technical capacities to align with the MIMplus framework, ensuring compliance with the latest EU regulations and facilitating seamless integration for cities and technology companies.

"Our participation allowed us to conduct a profound diagnosis of our current situation. The support and professionalism of the project teams have been impeccable," said Antonio Frances, Mayor of Alcoy, alongside Pedro Ramiro, Smart City Technician, and Joan Gisbert, Innovation Agent. "We have greatly enjoyed the exchange of ideas on topics such as interoperability and system security."

Joining forces and working together

One of the key advantages of joining this initiative is the opportunity to participate in a European peer network that pioneers the advancement of local data platforms and AI-powered digital twins. This network not only enhances visibility but also allows cities to share best practices, successes, and failures, leveraging collective learnings for mutual benefit.

Carmen Lavado, Head of Digital Services and Technologies in Sant Boi de Llobregat, emphasised how the pilot helped assess their digital maturity level, noting, "Participating in this pilot has helped us assess our digital maturity level and understand the necessary steps to bring digital twins to life."

The vendor-neutral and technology-agnostic architectural designs based on open standards provide strategic guidance that ensures interoperability and system security. "Being a pilot within the Local Digital Twin Toolbox has allowed us to benchmark our maturity and align our Digital Twin initiatives across departments," acknowledged Stefan de Smet, CIO in the City of Ghent.

The initiative is part of the broader Digital Europe Programme, which aims to accelerate digital maturity across urban and rural communities in the EU. It specifically targets cities and communities that are at early stages of digitalisation or those in the scaling phases, providing them with access to essential digital tools and expertise available within the EU.

How to participate?

For cities interested in joining, the deadlines for application are as follows. Phase 1, covering April 2024 to August 2024, has a deadline of 17 June 2024, while Phase 2, spanning August 2024 to May 2025, requires applications by 24 March 2025. The estimated duration for procurement services is approximately six weeks, depending on when a city is invited to participate.

Cities with over 20,000 inhabitants are encouraged to take part in this pioneering initiative, which represents a significant step towards ensuring that digital technology is accessible to all EU communities, fostering growth and innovation across the continent.
