  • Smart city development is not just about technology development, but cities want to use technology to improve the quality of life of their citizens, the efficiency of city services and activities, and the competitiveness of the region. Smart city development has gone from technology-driven development through citizen and user-driven co-creation to a tentative approach that addresses the needs of citizens in a diverse ecosystem. Sustainable, intelligent and smart city ensures that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social, environmental, as well as cultural aspects. To achieve this we need co-creation by value producing ecosystems. Smart city development, which enables the emergence of new internationally scalable smart city solutions, newest technologies and business models can be very far from simple. Therefore, it is important that we gather and share solutions and lessons through various networks. We are proud to present following professionals to share their visions for the smart city development in a changing world.

  • The 2015 Paris Agreement to curb global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit climate change to a global average temperature increase of below 2°C emphasizes the need to reduce GHG emissions. To reach this long-term target, energy consumption and GHG emissions must be reduced drastically in all sectors in the next decades. European countries have jointly been among the first signatories of the Paris Agreement and have committed to reducing domestic GHG emissions by at least 40% compared to 1990 levels by 2030. In European countries, the residential and commercial building stock accounts for approximately 36% of total GHG emissions. A substantial share of these buildings is older than 50 years. Accordingly, these buildings are often not very energy-efficient and are equipped with fossil fuel-based heating systems in many parts of Europe. The current efforts – political, technological and societal – have not led the European building stock into a carbon-neutral future. The speech will touch upon the reasons for this unsatisfactory development and suggest necessary steps towards a low-carbon future by taking advantage of international good practices and findings in research.

  • Integration of relevant digital tools and services for event-related urban security, as well as concepts and tools for urban security management and training and for cross-sectoral cooperation between authorities are needs in modern event safety and security business. SURE creates a comprehensive and smart event-related urban security solution, complemented by the related investment on surveillance cameras and video analytics. The overall urban challenge tackled by SURE is based on rapid growth, major urban changes and related urban security challenges and development needs in Tampere. There are various popular and busy event areas in the Tampere city center. The key challenge of SURE is how to efficiently manage large crowd concentration and event-related urban security in Tampere - especially in a complex and evolving urban environments? How to maintain the high level of urban security in Tampere in connection with the rapid urban change, and to prevent a severe security incident without over-securing security-sensitive urban areas which may cause the undermining of the citizens’ sense of security?

  • The changing and increasingly complex security environment challenges the City of Tampere in many ways. Security and safety has been identified as one of the priorities of the City of Tampere strategy. One of the goals of the strategy is to increase effective and informed security cooperation with different authorities and other key actors. Improving security requires coordinated action by all sectors of society. Working together is the foundation of the city's security planning. Tampere wants to be a national and international pioneer in security and safety development and make the city even safer place for residents, visitors and companies.

  • The speech deals with the objectives of the City of Tampere to develop, test and deploy autonomous feeder transport services to the new tram/light rail service in Hervanta suburb and the Tampere University Hospital Campus area. The aim of the City is to offer automated on-demand door-to-door feeder bus for the whole Hervanta suburban area. In addition to feeder transport, it will also provide the citizens means to travel to schools, day care, hobbies, doctor, shops, other services, etc. The hospital campus area is the further extension of the SHOW-project. Due to the long walking distances (>300 m) the need for local autonomous transport services. The public campus area has already a lot of existing traffic and the shortage of parking places is causing problems. The area will also be one of the main transfer hubs between the area wide bus and tram services. The speech also describes the scope of the whole SHOW-project that will commence in the beginning of 2020.

  • The greatest growth potential in Finland’s timber construction lies in multi-story apartment buildings. Ever greater possibilities are opening for timber construction, as the significance of worldwide climate, environmental, and natural resource issues grow. Timber multi-story apartment building construction was started in Finland with a brief experimental construction phase in the mid-1990s. Today in Finland it is possible to design and build residential and workplace buildings as well as lodging and institutional buildings with wood frames and façades up to eight stories high. It is also possible to build timber apartment buildings over eight stories high based on analysis of functional fire design. To date (November 2019), 82 timber apartment buildings over two stories high have been built in Finland, comprising 2365 apartments. In addition, plans for new timber residential apartment buildings containing around 10,000 apartments are on the table all over Finland. There are several different types of frame systems available for timber apartment building construction, for which there is a sufficient amount of wood element production plants and manufacturing capacity in Finland.

  • While facial recognition technology is utilized increasingly across the globe, there are extending debates on the ethical aspects and acceptability of facial recognition. Such issues include e.g. that facial recognition is not an accurate tech, it is creating step by step everywhere reaching “surveillance state", there are challenges with individual privacy and data security, as well as it may have distorting effects on democratic processes. It is suggested, among other things, that facial recognition technology needs to be well regulated, system needs to be transparent and include “bias checks” as well as there needs to be an administrative procedure for correcting technological and social biases and faults in the system.

  • In order to reach carbon neutrality, we must minimise emissions and maximise sinks. The real challenge is to implement this within each of the society´s sectors, especially in the built environment. Nevertheless, new approach to commissioning, design, procurement, construction and maintenance of the built environment is required, so that the ambitious climate goals can be met. Therefore both footprints and handprints need to be considered.

  • When trust in institutions is declining, the public discourse is getting more polarized and the discussion becomes more toxic many people blame media. Yet media can be essential in creating a better dialogue and providing the context for understanding each other better. Good journalism is still the core, but in addition we need to implement new technologies in a creative way and co-operate more closely with our audiences. I will present a few examples of how we can use tech to strengthen journalism and how we might be able to strengthen society together.

You need to have the best valid data sources that describe all aspects of the problem you are trying to solve. People movement is one of the newest data sources in the field of location intelligence. Almost everyone has their mobile phone with them at all times and therefore our phones are the best IoT devices to be used to understand human behavior and movement. This anonymized and aggregated insights is used for example in urban planning, events & tourism, traffic planning and retail & real estate.

  • The use and development of tools is strongly linked to human evolution and intelligence. Physical tools, from the wheel to the plane and from knifes to production machines, have transformed what people can do and how people live. Currently, we are at the beginning of an even more fundamental transformation fueled by artificial intelligence and autonomous systems: digital tools, with build-in intelligence to amplify human abilities. Such digital technologies will provide us with entirely new opportunities to (1) enhance the perceptual and cognitive abilities of humans and (2) to delegate intermediate decisions and to interact on a different level of granularity. In our research we create novel digital technologies that systematically and empirically explore how to enhance human abilities. We aim at creating an efficient and pleasant cooperation between intelligent systems driven by artificial intelligence and human actors. If such a cooperation is successful, the resulting human-technology-system will outperform the technical system without a human user. Our experimental approach is to: first, understand the users in their context as well as the potential for enhancement. Second, we create innovative interventions based on AI that provide functionality that rethinks the granularity of interaction and provides humans with new powers. And third, we empirically evaluate and quantify the enhancement that is gained by these developments. It is exciting to see how ultimately these new ubiquitous computing technologies have the potential for making human actor measurably. With these technologies we could make humans more powerful, could overcoming fundamental limitations in human perception and cognition and eventually create abilities, currently considers super powers.

  • Industrial maintenance is becoming more and more knowledge-intensive, and field workers use digital tools and solutions increasingly. In a typical work situation, maintenance technicians have their hands busy with tools and working equipment, and simultaneously they need to interact with mobile devices to access information. However, due to a sometimes harsh working environment, workers need to wear personal safety protection that limits the use of common interaction methods. For example, using a touch screen with greasy gloves does not work well. Therefore, there is a need for alternative interaction methods, such as gestures and speech. Applying these in an industrial setting is, however, quite challenging due to the tough working environment and safety requirements. In her presentation Sanni Siltanen will discuss these interaction challenges in industrial maintenance and share her insights into experimenting with different methods of interaction.
