Name of the City: Greenville, SC
Project name: Smart Transportation Corridors and Smarter GreenVillages Development
Sustainability sector/topic: Transportation
Keywords: multimodal, multi-jurisdictional, mobility hub, automated transit network system, personal rapid transit, bus, bicycle, greenways, first/last mile, transportation, sensors, data management, elevated transit, driverless car
Project description: Since 2005, Greenville City, County & GTA (Greenville Transit Authority, dba Greenlink) have worked together to improve transportation options. Clemson University built its new International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) in Greenville near I-85. Bus services were improved, increasing ridership by 100% and expanding service to the surrounding communities of Clemson, Simpsonville and Mauldin. Greenlink installed bike racks on all buses. Upstate Forever installed bike share stations in the City and County that allow for connections to transit stops. A coalition completed a 10 mile bike/walk "Swamp Rabbit Trail" in the northern part of the city.
Electric charging stations were added. But the community has wanted to do better, developing numerous studies and plans for improvement, and applying without success for TIGER grants to implement plans.
New opportunities embolden the community. The 2010 Census expanded the Greenville Urbanized Area (UZA) to include Clemson Area Transit (CAT). In 2015 Greenville Pickens Area Transit Study (GPATS) has transitioned into the MPO for both GTA and CAT service areas with higher total population, vehicle miles, and ridership. New safety and technology advances have opened consideration of innovative, shared, automated transport solutions that can help attract more choice riders. Club Car recently proposed a pilot shuttle service using connected, assisted, and/or automated LSEVs in mixed use campus communities like Verdae with access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
The new vision is a multimodal and multi-jurisdictional transportation plan across GPATS from Greenville Spartanburg (GSP) airport through Greenville's urban areas to Clemson University. The vision includes a new connected, assisted, or automated LSEV shuttle services, elevated, driverless car transit network system (ATN), or personal rapid transit (PRT), smarter bus transit proposed in TIGER 7 (including bus and traffic light sensors and electric buses) and more bike and pedestrian-friendly greenways with a focus on GreenVillages development. A new integrated, smart transportation plan will create mobility hubs along GreenVillages developments that connect people living along urban
corridors so they would not need to own a car. This plan would deal with the issues of first/last mile transport, community health and safety, sewer and stormwater infrastructure improvements, traffic congestion, air pollution, transportation costs and traffic accidents. While improving mobility, an elevated ATN system itself would not contribute to stormwater runoff; however, development along its path would require improved sewer capacity and a system to handle stormwater from that and future commercial/residential development. Major issues to address include hardware and software options, data collection, and management and system integration.
GSP airport has already completed a feasibility study for their plan and will be issuing an RFP in 2016 for an ATN system similar to the Heathrow Airport system. In addition, GCEDC (Greenville County Economic Development Corporation) is revising an RFP for a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to build a 20+ mile ATN system connecting attractor locations along major urban corridors. Clemson University and City want an ATN system to complement their CAT bus system, when funding is available, to reduce congestion.
Potential Envision Greenville partners include GE, Duke Energy, IBM, AT&T, Schneider Electric, Club Car, Clemson University as well as the surrounding communities of Clemson, Simpsonville and Mauldin for this project. Through the development of their implementation plan at Envision America, they will be working to develop a model that could scale to other cities and towns in the United States.
Name of the City: Cambridge, MA
Project name: Sustainability Metrics & Data Dashboard
Sustainability sector/topic: Sustainability metrics & data management
Keywords: building energy, data management, dashboard, open data, sustainability metrics, communication strategy, common language, data collection, eco-district, neighborhood testbed
Project description: The City of Cambridge, along with other partners of the Cambridge Compact for a Sustainable Future (Compact), would like to develop a common system for collecting, analyzing, and communicating sustainability data and impacts in near real time at the building and district scale to foster greater sustainability awareness and action. Examples of the types of data the Compact might be interested in communicating include aggregated energy use, daily bike counts, waste diversion rates, renewable energy production, number of energy and climate related startup companies, wastewater treated onsite, impervious surfaces, tree cover, etc.
Major issues to address include data collection and data management as well as deciding what data to make public, which data is most meaningful and will inspire action and what data analysis and dashboard tools are available and can be leveraged. Last year, the City of Cambridge passed a building energy disclosure ordinance that requires energy reporting to the city. As a result, the City has been collecting annual energy use data on building energy usage in properties over 50,000 square feet and is now working to communicate the metrics to the public. The building energy data will be made public by the City in 2016, however it may prove to be a good test case for developing a data collection, analysis and display system and for expanding the existing data set to include monthly or real time data.
The Compact was developed by MIT, Harvard University and the City of Cambridge to work in a more coordinated fashion and to leverage the combined capacities in research, teaching, innovation, entrepreneurship, and program development to tackle local sustainability challenges. One of its main goals has been developing a framework to document progress toward the goals of the Compact.
In addition to members of the Compact, potential partners include energy and telecommunications firms that provide the services and products that are needed; university researchers that could help design and plan systems and state agencies such as the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Department of Energy Resources. Members of the Compact include MIT, Harvard, Draper, Alexandria Real Estate, Boston Properties, Biogen, BioMed Realty, The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, Genzyme, Novartis, Homeowner's Rehab, Twining Properties, Whole Foods, Eversource, CDM Smith, Forest City Enterprises, Akamai Technologies, Google, and the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC). There is great expertise in these institutions and organizations that could be brought to bear in their initiatives.
Name of the City: Portland
Project name: Powell Corridor Sensor Network
Sustainability sector/topic: Transportation
Keywords: data management, dashboard, open data, sustainability metrics, eco-district, neighborhood testbed, sensors, smart bikes, smart transit, GPS, air quality, community health, hardware, software, traffic, housing affordability, urban
Project description: The Powell-Division Transit and Development project will bring more rapid and reliable bus transit to a pair of the region's busiest thoroughfares: Powell Boulevard and Division Street between Portland and Gresham. Portland's first bus rapid transit line (BRT) is expected to begin service in 2020. This allows several years to deploy instruments, such as sensors, that can measure parameters before, during, and after construction, including meteorological conditions, air quality, and noise along the Powell Corridor neighborhood test bed. Information about mode splits and volumes before, during, and after the implementation of the BRT will be evaluated with several physical, social, and public health measures, including several species of air pollutants, demographics shifts in adjacent neighborhoods, and respiratory illness at household scales. The city is also deploying a smart bike system which features technology and GPS functionality on the bike within the Powell Corridor to help address first/last mile options.
The City of Portland has recently installed a series of air quality sensors to test and monitor activity in the Powell Corridor and is in the process of assessing various low cost sensors that are smaller and easier to deploy. The City's goal is to assess the hardware options in the field, test the proof of concept, and evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of deploying low cost sensors throughout the city. The results will help to create standard data collection methods, and support decisions making efforts about planning along the Powell Corridor. Other issues they would like to address are how to standardize the sensor data and determine who hosts it as well.
Key partners include the City, Portland State University, TriMet (the local transit agency), and technology providers. This diverse set of stakeholders is interested in using the Powell Corridor as the designated test bed for the city and the region and would also like to use the data collected to assess the socioeconomic impact of development activity in the neighborhood. The interconnected issues of air quality, traffic, transportation choices, public health, and housing affordability are foundational urban concerns, and the Powell BRT is an unparalleled opportunity to monitor the impact of policy interventions.
Name of the City: Pittburgh, PA
Project name: Uptown Eco-innovation District – Integrated Smart City Systems
Sustainability sector/topic: Eco-district data management and Eco-district
Keywords: smart city research, design, sensors, open data, sustainability metrics, eco-district, neighborhood testbed, smart transit, building optimization, WiFi, air quality, community health, hardware, software, traffic, housing affordability, urban, governance
Project description: The City of Pittsburgh will be developing their Uptown Eco-innovation District plan over the next two years. The plan is designed to be environmentally and economically innovative and to enhance equitable land use, mobility, energy, and infrastructure and will embody sustainability in all aspects of development; both people and place. The city would like to utilize the Eco-innovation District as a platform for smart city research, design and deployment. This district geographical area will serve as a test bed to help solidify system integration and optimization for the various projects within the zone. A variety of specific projects are launching in 2016 including smart street lights, a microgrid and district energy system and a network of smart buildings.
The deployment of smart street lighting and an information technology network will help reduce energy costs and serve as a platform for integrating information technology networks. The ability for the city to provide WiFi and cellular access via street lighting creates a new system of infrastructure that can serve as a host for additional smart city applications. The city also has a planned energy system within the Eco-innovation District. Integrating innovative new technologies, while minimizing disruption to existing systems is a concern. Also, the introduction of new building optimization technologies often requires reliable information technology networks. Matching IT infrastructure needs with building optimization technologies requires awareness and coordination. Other major hurdles to overcome include coordination between partners, such as utilities and local government as well as governance issues.
Key partners in their smart city efforts include local utilities Duquesne Light, Peoples Natural Gas and the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority. University partners such as Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh are key to the city's activities as well.
Name of City: Spokane
Project Name: The University District (UD) Smart City Accelerator smart street lights
Sustainability sector/topic: Streetlights
Keywords: sensors, sustainability metrics, university eco-district, smart street lights, traffic, safety, data collection, data management, open data, open architecture, building design, public health
Project Description: The goal of the University District (UD) smart and connected street lights project is to install sensors on street lights in a portion of the 770 acre University District that will address multiple urban resiliency objectives including public safety, reduced environmental impact, cost effective operations and maintenance of public infrastructure and defining value streams across multiple owners. In addition, the project will allow the team to explore the viability of using street light based sensor technology for increasing the efficiency of parking and for traffic management. This project will also serve as a platform for related research projects at Washington State University (and other universities in the district) working with smart systems and smart environments targeted at community health initiatives.
The project partners have a vision of the UD serving as a smart city technology proving ground. The smart and connected street lights project meets all of the criteria for the initial prototype of how the District will serve as a sensor rich environment for proving urban innovations. The key challenge is the disaggregated ownership of the lighting infrastructure and developing one integrated plan for the smart street light sensor deployment as well as data collection, ownership, stewardship, management and analysis. The various partners are committed to creating a unified optimization strategy and controlled research opportunity around the smart street lights. A central component of the project is further development of the open architecture, open data and open analytics platform set in the boundaries of the UD which connects the core strengths of infrastructure providers, industry leaders, universities, and the healthcare industry.
The smart city proving ground planned for implementation will leverage a wide variety of public and private data sets in proximity of multiple education and research sector partners to develop continuously improving smart city applications. Spokane intends to establish a policy and regulatory innovation zone overlay in the University District to sync up the implications of policy in concert with the user applications.
In addition to smart street lights, the City of Spokane, Itron, Avista Utilities, The University District Development Association, McKinstry and Washington State University are working to: implement shared advanced metering infrastructure, to develop microgrid projects with advanced storage features, and to apply advanced building design/materials/monitoring concepts between and among new and established buildings with occupants engaged to achieve the objectives of improving health through the built environment.
Name of the City: New York City
Project Name: Neighborhood Innovation Labs
Sustainability sector/topic: Innovation Labs and procurement processes
Keywords: smart city research, innovation labs, sensors, open data, sustainability metrics, eco-district, neighborhood testbed, community, WiFi, air quality, community health, traffic, urban, community engagement
Project Description: New York City is establishing a new citywide network of Neighborhood Innovation Labs to accelerate the testing and deployment of new smart city technologies across all five boroughs. These labs will place a special emphasis on traditionally underserved communities. Community groups and residents will be front-and-center throughout the process, defining sustainability, quality of life and equity problems where smart city technologies can have the greatest impact. Responding to these community needs, the City will challenge the private sector to offer new, innovative solutions, which will be tested through pilot deployments the Neighborhood Innovation Labs.
Developed by the Mayor's Office of Technology and Innovation, the NYU Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), and New York City Economic Development Corporation, the Neighborhood Innovation Labs will leverage the City of New York's significant broadband expansion and LinkNYC Wi-Fi network that is increasing access to free, high-speed Internet across the city. The labs will also build on the work of the CUSP Quantified Community research facility and the City's development of new Internet of Things (IOT) deployment guidelines.
The Neighborhood Innovations Labs will bring a comprehensive, citywide strategy to the City's smart city work, streamline the process by which private sector companies partner with government to test and deploy new solutions, and ensure compliance with IOT best practices. By involving the community every step of the way — from problem definition to feedback on new technologies — the Neighborhood Innovation Labs will ensure that smart city innovations are best positioned to improve the lives of all New Yorkers.
The first set of pilot projects from the City's inaugural Call for Innovations are slated to roll out in early 2016.
Name of the City: San Diego
Project Name: Streetlights and smart poles
Sustainability sector/topic: Street lighting and sensor technology
Keywords: sensors, sustainability metrics, smart street lights, traffic, safety, data collection, data management, open data, public health, deployment, roadmap, LED, climate action planning
Project Description: The City of San Diego is working on a variety of technology-related initiatives that benefit our communities and citizens. The focus is on both operating more efficiently and thus saving taxpayer dollars, and improving the delivery of services. Complementary to this "smart" approach to running city business, the City adopted a visionary Climate Action Plan in December 2015. The goals include achieving 100% citywide renewable energy citywide, 50% smart transportation, and zero waste as well as initiatives around energy and water efficient buildings and climate resiliency.
One project that supports these goals is San Diego's streetlight retrofits. San Diego leads the way with the largest deployment of LED fixtures with adaptive controls, and in 2015 was the first U.S. city to pilot GE's LED lighting fixtures with wireless sensor and controls technology.
The pilot focused on smart street-lighting fixtures that can provide data for parking optimization. The City is now evaluating the feasibility of deploying smart streetlights citywide with further opportunities to include sensors, wifi, and other technologies. Additionally the City will be identifying the optimal locations for deployment, services that can be provided using sensor data, resolving interoperability issues, and creating a business case for policy-makers to invest in this technology.
This project has been highly successful to-date, but was not without many challenges and lessons learned, primarily related to how traditional government procurement processes can often stifle the use of new technology in operations. As a result, City staff along with academic and private sector technology partners are now focused on creating a model that will allow a more nimble approach to incorporating innovative technologies into city projects, using streetlight technologies as the vehicle to explore this process. This model could include a checklist of necessary considerations, a flow chart for potential funding opportunities, and a deployment template. Other key issues to address include maximizing the use of resulting real-time data collection such as predictive analytics and sharing of the data generated.
Ultimately, the City of San Diego has a desire to pursue a cross-departmental strategic deployment of smart city solutions with a focus on rethinking procurement policies. The ultimate goal of the Envision America project would be to use San Diego as a sandbox to explore and resolve challenges associated with deployment of intelligent infrastructure in a way that creates a roadmap applicable to cities around the globe.
Name of the City: Milwaukee
Project Name: Eco-Industrial District and microgrid
Sustainability sector/topic: Energy and microgrids
Keywords: Smart city research, design, sensors, open data, microgrid, smart energy meters, sustainability metrics, eco-district, neighborhood testbed, building optimization, community health, hardware
Project Description: The City of Milwaukee is transforming several locations in the City into Eco-Industrial Districts that advance sustainability and economic development objectives. Toward those ends, the City is interested in piloting more smart technologies around distributed energy resource systems (DERS) and demand-side energy management in buildings. In addition, the City and the Midwest Energy Research Consortium (M-WERC) are interested in exploring how the "internet of things" technology solutions can be employed to make Milwaukee a "Smart City" that is a more attractive place to live and efficiently do business.
The City has partnered with M-WERC through its Energy Innovation Center, located in the 30th Street Industrial Corridor. M-WERC has already completed technology "roadmaps" around DERS and building energy efficiency and is currently developing a similar technology roadmap around the Energy-Water Nexus (EWN). These technologies will help the City meet its energy reduction and climate mitigation goals while helping M-WERC test and market new technologies for global export. In the 30thStreet Industrial Corridor, M-WERC has proposed an industrial microgrid project in this central city redevelopment area, to be built to promote the intersection of technology and sustainability (and possible public safety) while spurring economic growth. Aspects of the Eco-Industrial District to workshop include the integration of the microgrid into smart energy meters in the district's building stock and of sensors and other smart infrastructure to pilot public safety applications. Representatives from the City of Milwaukee, M-WERC (a partnership between local universities and Fortune 500 companies conducting research in the energy space), and other stakeholders will participate. With the support of these partners and others, the City of Milwaukee is preparing to support development of a unique, central city microgrid demonstration project.
Name of the City: Los Angeles
Project Name: Internet of trees.
Sector: Air Quality
Keywords: trees, canopy, drought, air quality, temperature, heat, water efficiency, water reduction, sensors, WiFi, radio technology, communication hubs, crowdsourcing
Project Description: The City of Los Angeles has the largest urban tree canopy in the nation, perhaps world, and they are facing serious considerations in light of necessary sidewalk replacement and the impacts of the California drought. Tree canopy can also be considered a proxy for healthy communities – improved air quality and stormwater capture, and reduced urban heat island impacts. The sidewalk replacement program will likely result in the replacement of 200,000 trees that must be monitored for the first three years until they achieve sustainable growth. The City envisions pairing its commitment to neighborhood-level air quality monitoring with the need to establish a network of connected sensors to existing and newly planted trees across the city in order to efficiently manage the canopy in the face of such issues. This will be happening during a time of historic drought.
This project would endeavor to pair the monitoring of air quality and monitoring of trees together to demonstrate how the Internet of Things can deliver healthy and engaged communities. This is an unusual and interesting smart cities project that would enable such environmental data to be connected to the Internet, monitored and sustained, and perhaps even adopted by the public.
Name of City: Dallas
Sustainability sector/topic: Transportation
Keywords: multimodal, multi-jurisdictional, smart transit, parking systems, integrated parking system, app, bus, bicycle, greenways, first/last mile, sensors, data management
Project Name: Smart transit/parking systems
Project Description: A growing challenge in Dallas is traffic and mass transit utilization and efficiency. Smart transit solutions around mass transportation that increase efficiency and the user experience could help increase ridership and get cars off the roads. Smart parking systems will also improve the user experience and congestion downtown.
Currently Dallas is working on integrating their parking system and developing a user-friendly platform. This involves stakeholder engagement, assessment of current infrastructure and analysis of existing hardware and software options as well as identifying a pilot or testbed for the project. The ultimate goal is to fully integrate multi-modal transit options, including car, bus, train, biking, bike sharing and walking. Barriers include the development and standardization of technology around the mass transit system, buy-in from multiple parking lot owners and cost of adoption for infrastructure upgrades.

I have struck upon a new path in my journey to play more video games. I signed up to an online video game rental service via GAME. I get the first ten days free so that's a bonus. My first game will be Incredible Hulk (Xbox 360). My friend at work said it was pretty fun to play so I'm hoping it is that, apparently one snag is you cannot gain all the achievements without having Ironman at the same time, which blows but then I don't think I will be getting all the achievements in any game.
I will update on my progress upon this, see how the game rental stuff goes. My list so far is pretty shallow, with some nonsensical titles in there but none of them are turds. The reason for joining the rental thing is to taste various games that I would not buy due to my own pre-conceived thoughts about certain types of game. So hopefully this will open up the world of games for me even more. As it stands I cannot comprehend the FPS genre being so so popular and over crowded, I just don't see the appeal. Also, scary games - not my thing at all, but possibly with this rental service it will enable me to try before I further my judgement upon games within that genre. Will see how it goes I guess.

We are pleased to welcome Dominic Hinde, Phd Student, Green activist, translator and former freelance journalist to our Hollaback! Edinburgh organising committee. In this week's post, Dominic tells us about himself and discusses feminism, gender, the importance of democracy and his motivation for joining Hollaback!
Dominic Hinde
I can't really pinpoint how and why I decided to get involved in feminist campaigning. Living in contemporary Scotland can be like a pick and mix of social ills, and it is sometimes hard to know which one to focus attention on. And this is where it gets interesting. Once you start looking at all these diverse problems, you begin to see the role played by gender in each of them. What many people do not know for example is that women are disproportionately high users of public transport, but disproportionately low users of public space for sports and recreation. Mundane facts, but they reveal a lot about the way in which men and women in Scotland live parallel existences. Unspoken, unseen, and undiscussed. And when those citizens of Scotland who happen to be women venture out into the spaces society reserves for men, they are outsiders.
Every single inch of the city should be as open and safe for women as it is for anyone else, but that is rarely the case. Feminism is about democracy in the broadest possible sense. Anybody with an interest in fostering the values of openness and equal rights inherent to a functioning democracy cannot fail to call themselves a feminist. The worrying thing about men's rights campaigns in recent years is the way in which they have totally misunderstood the aims of feminism, and that robust feminism is as beneficial to men as it is to women. Because we all want to live on a street, in a city and in a country where we feel that those around us enjoy the same rights as we do. We want to know that our female friends can live and work and love in the same way that we might hope to do ourselves, and that we might walk to work or home from the pub as equals. The same risks, the same pleasures. Now we can't police every street, and we can't legislate against institutionalised attitudes. What we can do is try and change our culture one step at a time. This means that men need to be involved in the process. You cannot scare them into submission, but you can pull them out of the ditch.
Scotland is changing, and Scotland is well on the way to becoming the progressive modern country which I and many others know it can be. We would be doing ourselves a disservice if we did not seek to put feminism at its heart.
