Work performed during the period 1st August 2019 - 31st January 2021:
WP1- MANAGEMENT
Management of the last 18 months of the project in close collaboration with the partners implementing the additional quality control mechanism established withing the consortium. Special emphasis on the interactions among all the partners and among the project and the SCC01 projects community.
WP2 -STRATEGIC PLANNING AND BUSINESS MODELS
The main activity taking place in this WP during this reporting period has been completing the work with both the Lighthouse Cities and the Fellow Cities and to collect and analyse data for the final report on the replicability of business models. The analysis focused on capturing the processes and capabilities that will enable municipalities to finance smart city projects independent of SCC1 funding as a set of generic Value Creation Ecosystem (VCE) models.
WP3 -WP4-WP5 PILOTS IN LH cities
The objective of the three lighthouse cities (WP3, WP4, WP5) has been to validate a comprehensive and sustainable City Business Models to be replicated in other districts, at metropolitan level and in other similar cities. During this period monitoring has taken place.
WP6 INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURES – ICT PLATFORM
During this period, the Smart City platform performance and impact analysis in the pilots have been performed. The ICT platforms have been monitored and some benchmarks have been performed. Each pilot has also updated the Smart city platform future strategy and some conclusions and lessons learnt have been gathered.
WP7 CROSS CUTTING ACTIVITIES ANALYSIS AND SCALE UP STUDY IN THE THREE CITIES
During this period the final output of these analysis consisted in the final adaptation of the technologies and business models in a roadmap for their future implementation (design of implementation roadmap in lighthouse cities), taking into consideration the particular boundary conditions in each city as well as the technology constraints.
WP8 REPLICATION
WP8 is focused on the analysis to the extent to which replicability, adaptability, and scalability of the implemented solutions in the lighthouse cities may be feasible in the fellow cities. During this period, the work has been focused on (i) the critical factor analysis, (ii) stakeholders’ network diagnose and (iii) the promotion of a sharing participative environment organizing networking activities among lighthouse cities and follower/fellow cities through the programme ‘City-to-City-Learning’ Programme (replicate-project.eu/city2citylearning) (iv) resulting in the final formulation of the Replication and Adaptability Plans by the fellow cities over the last year 2020.
WP9 EXPLOTATION OF RESULTS – INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PLANS
WP9 has been oriented to those industrial partners that will have to exploit the results of REPLICATE providing an overview of future business opportunities. In this period, WP9 has been focused on the final task 9.3 which has identified and validated business opportunities in order to confirm their suitability and usefulness.
WP10 MONITORING
The two main objectives of this work package during this period, have been (1) to apply the monitoring methodology developed previously in the project in the three lighthouse cities and (2) to identify the guidelines (lessons learnt, barriers or difficulties overcame, etc.) that help cities to build the recommendations about the monitoring process. The monitoring programs of the three Lighthouse cities have been applied and implemented. Additionally, the guidelines about the monitoring process of the three Lighthouse Cities, thanks to the answers compiled in the survey based on their own experiences, expectative and results obtained.
The monitoring methodology in general and the developed monitoring programmes in particular provide to the cities of the project as well as to fellow cities that are interested on replicating the activities of the project, a complete framework and guidelines for carrying out a complete monitoring of the evolution of the city.
WP11 COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION
The main objective of the WP11 during this period has been to continue with the dissemination activities in order to communicate the project activities and results. Many dissemination and communication activities have been carried out during this period.
