This week on Highways Voices we talk about how better managing the kerbside for deliveries saves fuel and time, raises revenue and cuts emissions.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!The founder of Grid Smarter Cities, Neil Herron, is the guest on the programme explaining that the current system just doesn't work, "We currently operate a first come first served approach, at the kerb space... which leads to... a lot of wasted time, a lot of wasted effort. All we've done is apply a degree of common sense. You wouldn't open an airport and just tell the planes to turn anytime you wished, or land wherever they want, we're treating the kerbside in the same sort of fashion."In the interview, we talk about the role of the Smart Mobility Living Lab in helping test out the ideas, how the concept is now reality on the banks for the River Thames and how a small company with a big idea can scale up to deliver on globally.He also explains how his solutions can have knock-on benefits for other areas of a council's obligations such as social care. "There's a lot of time wasted in vehicles having to go and park legally somewhere, the carer then having to walk from the car park to deliver care, and you might be losing five or ten minutes at the front end five to ten minutes at the back end," he says. "So 30 minutes worth of care ends up being 15 or 20 minutes, because of the parking provision that's required," with the kerbside solution allowing carers to book slots to legally and safely park nearby.You'll also hear why those tackling roadworker abuse win Adrian's Accolade this week, about partnerships for LCRIG and ITS UK, connected vehicles at the Innovation Festival and ADEPT's views on the Strategic Road Network.

The Buzz 1: “Smart cities are the intelligent cities of positivity and happy-energy, not the junkyards of technologies but cities of diversity, love, life, beauty, dignity, freedom, tolerance, and equality.” (Amit Ray, author: Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity) The Buzz 2: “The banning of bullfighting in Catalonia was controversial and hard won and has now been replaced by the vacuous global consumption of the mall. I'm sure that is an advance for the bulls but I'm not sure how well it bodes for the serious business of being a city. (Edwin Heathcote, The Financial Times architecture and design critic) The Buzz 3: “The second mode [to deal with unsafe cities] is to take refuge in vehicles. This is the technique practiced in the big wild-animal reservations of Africa, where tourists are warned to leave their cars under no circumstances until they reach a lodge. It is also the technique practiced in Los Angeles.” (Jane Jacobs, author: The Death and Life of Great American Cities) The Buzz 4: “Urbanization has lured more people to bustling metropolises, but precious little thought has been given to what happens when these cities fail…For all the famed cities with thousands of years of continuity – Paris, London, Cairo, Athens, Rome, Istanbul – most cities just stop.” (Ben Paynter, Fast Company senior writer) We'll ask Don DeLoach at Rocket Wagon Venture Studios, Brenna Berman at City Tech, John Robbins at Turner & Townsend, and Peter Torrellas at Parsons for their take on The Future of Smarter Cities: People + How Much Technology?

Rishi Suri, editor of India's largest Urdu newspaper, the Daily Milap, joins Smarter Cities in a fascinating discussion on India and its place in the world. India is a rising power. A country of deep history, beloved in Australia for its culture, cuisine and cricket obsession. It is also the country of my parent’s birth, one I have visited since childhood and one which has always captured my love and imagination. Governed now by a nationalist administration and a prime minister, Narendra Modi, whose leadership has overwhelmingly been endorsed by the Indian people at multiple elections, India is finding its voice - with a deeper focus on nationalism and an intensified leadership in international affairs. Rishi Suri is the third generation of his family to serve as editor of the Daily Milap. I took the chance to draw on his deep knowledge to understand what India wants its place in the world to be and what it is doing to get there.

Rob Stokes is one of Australia’s most thoughtful and prescient politicians - with a passion for public policy and public service that has led him to one of the toughest portfolios around - as Minister for Planning and Public Spaces in Australia’s largest state, NSW. Rob argues that Covid 19 is the greatest disruption to how cities and countries will function since the Spanish flu and the introduction of the motorcar. He says the heart of this disruption will be how Australia, and the global community of nations, chooses to manage global resources as the World addresses new and emerging geopolitical and environmental risks ahead. The first ‘in person’ episode of Smarter Cities since March 2020 is a wide- ranging conversation that extends from cities and the environment to the future of education and to how we meet challenges ahead.

Communications and political strategist and Sky News contributor, Kristy McSweeney, joins this episode of Smarter Cities. As Australia struggles with a potential second wave of COVID-19, the depth and impact of locking down the economy, and providing unprecedented publicly funded support, is becoming apparent.  Australia has a forecast budget deficit of almost 10% of GDP in 2020-21, and a sharp increase in net debt to over 35% of GDP, levels unimaginable less than twelve months ago. Massive stimulus packages announced in most nations to fight the virus has left the majority of advanced economies with net debt to GDP ratios above 100 per cent, with the red ink likely deepening as the fight continues.  With governments increasingly being called on to intervene harder and faster to protect populations, keep people employed and chart a pathway out of the pandemic, and with a private sector waiting for COVID-19 conditions to ease, has COVID-19 changed the role of the public sector in the economy? Is this sustainable?

As people begin to return to work and school - limited by social distancing rules -  the new normal has less people on busses and trains, in restaurants and cafes, and in office buildings. The success of technology in enabling the great work from home experiment has business questioning if staff working from home can be made a permanent thing. Education systems are asking if home schooling options can be expanded and people are asking if long commutes to central business districts are worth the time and effort - if productivity can be sustained through technology platforms. Public policy advocate and Chairman of the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue, Christopher Brown, joins Smarter Cities to discuss the challenge of the new normal. Is the case for the city being disrupted by a post Covid-19 world?

The drift of people leaving regional and rural communities is a growing trend across the world as people move to chase economic opportunities in the big cities. Facing economic decline, regional and rural communities are fighting back at the ballot box - most notably by electing President Trump, voting for Brexit in the UK and for One Nation and Independents in Australia - supporting politicians who promise to revitalise regional economies and provide their communities with a fairer share of prosperity. John Persinger, CEO of the Erie Downtown Development Corporation in the US State of Pennsylvania, joins Smarter Cities to talk about how his private sector backed organisation is revitalising his regional city of 100,000 people.

In this episode of the Smart Community Podcast, I have a great chat with Colin Dinner. Colin is a startup ecosystem specialist, company director with over twenty years' experience working with high-growth technology-based companies and a startup coach and trainer, so I knew he was the right person to speak to about the role of startups and small businesses in the future of work in Smart Communities. Colin shares a bit about his background in startups in lots of different contexts, and why it's important that Australia gets better at building an economy based on high value, knowledge-intensive jobs rather than just resources and agriculture. We discuss how Smart Companies contribute to not only Smart Communities but economically prosperous ones too, and some examples from places like Singapore where investing in young people's knowledge to build Smarter Cities. Colin tells us about Startup Onramp, and what he's observed during the program about innovation in regional Australia and the relative immaturity of Australia's startup ecosystem. We talk about the myths and mindset challenges that stop people pursuing startup opportunities, as well as the absolute importance of validation when starting any venture. We finish our chat discussing the emerging trend of social entrepreneurship and why we need more than buzzword bingo in our understanding of emerging trends! As always, I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.Find the full show notes at: www.mysmart.communityConnect with Colin via LinkedIn or on Twitter @ColinKinnerConnect with me via email: hello@mysmart.communityConnect via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook @smartcommpod

In January 2018, the city of Surrey and the City of Vancouver teamed up to apply for a $50 million Smart Cities grant from Infrastructure Canada. After four months of consultations with residents and businesses, respondents made it clear that the focus should be on mobility. The City of Vancouver and City of Surrey are now in the process of composing their final application, to be submitted by March 5. You may have seen a portion of Vancouver and Surrey's submission on local streets. Local residents have had the opportunity to experience ELectric Automation (ELA) in the form of a driverless shuttle that has been operating in Vancouver and Surrey. The EZ10 Driverless Shuttle – is already being used in several countries around the world. ELA – short for ELectric Automation – is a fully-accessible, 100% electric vehicle with a battery life of up to 14 hours. It holds up to 12 passengers and will travel at about 12 km/h during the demo but has a maximum travelling speed of 40 km/h. Surrey residents had the chance to go for free rides in the EZ10 Driverless Shuttle earlier this month, and Vancouver residents can still try out a ride until March 5th in Olympic Village! Guest: Jessie Adcock Chief Technology Officer, Technology Services at the City of Vancouver, which has partnered with the City of Surrey for the Smart Cities challenge

In 2012, for the first time in history, more people made their homes in cities than rural areas. But now, services designed for a few hundred thousand residents are straining under the pressure of meeting the traffic, housing and health demands of millions, and sometimes tens of millions of people. With limited space and resources, how can city officials make more services work for more people? “Smart city” proponents say new networks, integrated technology and data-driven decision making will make the difference in cities of the future.

At this juncture, we have good notion of what a 21st century city should look like. In many ways, though, our cities don't match that picture. Among those concerns is the effect of declining municipal finances on urban infrastructure that's in great need of renewal. What adaptations are required for cities to deal with the demographic, economic and resource challenges they face? What are the smarter cities doing right in finance, energy, transportation? How can public-private partnerships contribute to solutions? Are the best approaches to be found overseas or within the U.S.?
