It was quite an experience: students took part in the trip thanks to Cisco TelePresence centers. On each step of the journey, I brought in local figures that were then interviewed by the students from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of asking them for a summary with no guiding principle, we asked that they give a memo laying out which lessons might be learnt from these Asian cities to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.govtech.com\/local\/Peter-Marx-Appointed-Los-Angeles-Chief-Innovation-Technology-Officer.html\">Peter Marx<\/a>, the Chief Innovation and Technology Officer in Los Angeles. You can find some of their contributions on the <a href=\"http:\/\/comm494.tumblr.com\/\">class blog<\/a>. Their final proposal will be posted there.<\/p>\n<p>I have done the same with this 10-point list (no particular order) of ideas I gleaned from my three-week trip. I hope that it will be useful for other cities.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Peter Marx,<\/p>\n<p>I know that, for many, Los Angeles is a city of reference. This should not keep it from taking inspiration from foreign experiences and achievements. Here is what I gleaned during my recent trips (each point is followed by the name of the cities that inspired it). We will discuss all of this in more detail when you meet the students.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Older cities that we are trying to make smarter shouldn\u2019t try to integrate all of the different existing computer systems. It is an unnecessary headache. Sharing significant metadata is enough. Seoul.<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated sensors will stay expensive for a few more years. Since data collection is essential, you might as well use your citizens\u2019 smartphones. Seoul drew the routes for its night buses by using a heat map of areas where there were the most cellphone calls at night.<\/li>\n<li>Citizen hackathons \u2013 gatherings of hackers to fix a problem \u2013 can help improve the city. They push local authorities and businesses to open access to their data and they are the beginning of citizen participation. Singapore and Hyderabad.<\/li>\n<li>Mapping the city in a sophisticated and interactive way makes information understandable, and the visualization of this data facilitates conversations with citizens. Seoul, Songdo, Singapore, Hyderabad.<\/li>\n<li>The time for urban agriculture and green constructions has come. It can be ushered in through pilot projects funded jointly by the public and private sectors. This would be a good way to increase the value of the city\u2019s many vacant lots, mostly in South L.A. Hyderabad and Singapore.<\/li>\n<li>You can change the dynamics and energy consumption of cities and neighborhoods through integrated designs that help citizens get to work and other places on foot or by bike. This works even better when coupled with public transportation. Songdo.<\/li>\n<li>New cities or even neighborhoods aren\u2019t attractive, but galloping urbanization means we can\u2019t avoid them. It is more important to work on the process than on the final result, by encouraging the participation of future users, citizens and companies. Simulation (world-building?) can help. Songdo is a counter-example.<\/li>\n<li>Smart cities are a huge market. Each company is tackling it and each has its own model. Any city capable of developing a services platform that is easy to deploy is in the starting blocks for this competition. This is a considerable opportunity for Los Angeles. Seoul, Singapore.<\/li>\n<li>Citizen participation should start from the get-go and should be thought of as an open process. That is a field where Los Angeles could inspire others.<\/li>\n<li>There is one final point that I have not had enough time to do research on but that seems crucial in these times of global warming and heightened droughts: water management. This is a strategic question for Singapore, which seems to be cleverly managing rainwater collection as well as the consumption and treatment of different water sources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Dear Peter Marx, these are just a few of the important points I gleaned during my trip. I am at your disposal for any additional explanations.<\/p>\n<p>Best.<\/p>\n<p>Cr\u00e9dit photo : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djandywdotcom\/10703422656\/\" class=\"popup\">\u30d3\u30c3\u30b0\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u30b8\u30e3\u30d1\u30f3 \/Flickr\/CC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently went on a trip to several Asian cities (Songdo, Seoul, Singapore, Hyderabad) as part of a class at the University of Southern California taught with professor Fran\u00e7ois Bar.

Un cycle complet \u00e0 la suite de quoi j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 que m\u00eame \u00e0 Silicon Valley on peut se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter. En fait j\u2019ai la bougeotte. De retour en Europe (2010), j\u2019ai lanc\u00e9 un tour du monde de l\u2019innovation, le projet Winch 5 -- 45 villes, 32 pays entre septembre 2011 et octobre 2012 - enti\u00e8rement consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude des conditions \u00e9conomiques, financi\u00e8res, culturelles et sociales du d\u00e9veloppement de l'innovation.

Une aventure fascinante qui m\u2019a permis de rencontrer des gens audacieux, dot\u00e9s d\u2019une grande intelligence ou d\u2019un grand c\u0153ur. Parfois les deux ensembles. Je donne r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement conf\u00e9rences et s\u00e9minaires sur ce sujet dans certaines entreprises fran\u00e7aises de poids : Bouygues Telecom, CapGemini, L'Or\u00e9al, SFR, SNCF, entre autres ainsi que dans des forums moins prestigieux mais dans lesquels l\u2019assistance est passionn\u00e9e Convaincu que l\u2019am\u00e9lioration de nos villes et de la d\u00e9mocratie locale est un enjeu technologique et social majeur, je viens de me lancer dans une nouvelle s\u00e9rie d\u2019enqu\u00eates \u2013 un tour du monde en plusieurs \u00e9tapes nomm\u00e9 Participolis - sur les villes intelligentes ou qui s\u2019efforcent de l\u2019\u00eatre : 20 villes entre janvier 2014 et avril 2015.

Piqu\u00e9 par la curiosit\u00e9 et l\u2019envie de comprendre ce que je sentais important, je suis all\u00e9 m\u2019installer dans la r\u00e9gion de San Francisco (janvier 1996) o\u00f9 j\u2019ai pass\u00e9 quinze ans \u00e0 enqu\u00eater sur ce qui s\u2019y faisait : l\u2019\u00e9mergence, le boom, le bust et la reprise. Un cycle complet \u00e0 la suite de quoi j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 que m\u00eame \u00e0 Silicon Valley on peut se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter. En fait j\u2019ai la bougeotte. De retour en Europe (2010), j\u2019ai lanc\u00e9 un tour du monde de l\u2019innovation, le projet Winch 5 -- 45 villes, 32 pays entre septembre 2011 et octobre 2012 - enti\u00e8rement consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude des conditions \u00e9conomiques, financi\u00e8res, culturelles et sociales du d\u00e9veloppement de l'innovation. J\u2019en a rapport\u00e9 des enseignements sur les meilleures fa\u00e7ons de la rendre possible, de l'encourager, de pr\u00e9parer individus, entreprises et nations \u00e0 participer ainsi \u00e0 la construction de leur propre futur. Une aventure fascinante qui m\u2019a permis de rencontrer des gens audacieux, dot\u00e9s d\u2019une grande intelligence ou d\u2019un grand c\u0153ur. Parfois les deux ensembles. Je donne r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement conf\u00e9rences et s\u00e9minaires sur ce sujet dans certaines entreprises fran\u00e7aises de poids : Bouygues Telecom, CapGemini, L'Or\u00e9al, SFR, SNCF, entre autres ainsi que dans des forums moins prestigieux mais dans lesquels l\u2019assistance est passionn\u00e9e Convaincu que l\u2019am\u00e9lioration de nos villes et de la d\u00e9mocratie locale est un enjeu technologique et social majeur, je viens de me lancer dans une nouvelle s\u00e9rie d\u2019enqu\u00eates \u2013 un tour du monde en plusieurs \u00e9tapes nomm\u00e9 Participolis - sur les villes intelligentes ou qui s\u2019efforcent de l\u2019\u00eatre : 20 villes entre janvier 2014 et avril 2015. Je le con\u00e7ois comme une tension constante entre deux p\u00f4les d\u2019un m\u00eame probl\u00e8me : CitySmarting ou l\u2019effort pour rendre les villes plus intelligentes gr\u00e2ce, notamment aux technologies de l\u2019information et Participolis, le fait qu\u2019un meilleur futur pour nos villes ne peut \u00e9merger que de notre participation \u00e0 leur conception et \u00e0 leur gestion. Mes articles et chroniques ont \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9s par plus de 100 m\u00e9dias sur quatre continents dont Le Monde, El Pa\u00eds (Madrid), Reforma (Mexico), The Next Web (Amsterdam) et Folha de S\u00e3o Paulo (Br\u00e9sil). J'enseigne aussi \u00e0 la Paris School of International Affairs de l'Institut d'\u00c9tudes Politiques de Paris et \u00e0 la WebSchoolFactory. J\u2019ai donn\u00e9 des cours \u00e0 l'Universit\u00e9 de Berkeley et \u00e0 l'Universit\u00e9 de Stanford. Je participe en temps qu\u2019expert au r\u00e9seau Netexplo. J\u2019ai publi\u00e9 plusieurs livres dont Comment le web change le monde, l'alchimie des multitudes (Pearson) avec Dominique Piotet (2008 et 2011). Quand je ne suis pas en vadrouille autour du monde, je vis entre Paris, Barcelone et Mexico. Mais toujours je suis int\u00e9ress\u00e9 par vos commentaires, critiques et suggestions.
