URBAN MOBILITY IN
THE SMART CITY AGE
2 SMART CITIES CORNERSTONE SERIES|URBAN MOBILITY IN THE SMART CITY AGE
A smart city is an effcient city, a liveable
city, as well as an economically, socially and
environmentally sustainable city. This vision can
be realised today, using innovative operational
and information technology, and leveraging
meaningful and reliable real-time data generated
by citizens and city infrastructure.
However, an unprecedented scale of change
is needed for cities to become more effcient,
attractive, inclusive and competitive. This change
will require a new paradigm, which looks at the
fabric of cities in a totally new way. This, in turn,
requires a breakthrough in how cities, businesses,
citizens and academia think and work together.
The transition towards smarter cities is about
reinventing cities, such that:
but as key stakeholders;
asset, but as a dynamic enabler;
but as a partner;
by one of transformation.
EFFICIENT, SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY IS A
CORNERSTONE OF A SMART CITY
Urbanisation is accelerating at pace, placing
new, intense pressures on city resources and
infrastructure. Urban Mobility will be one of
the toughest challenges for cities around the
globe. In many cities, existing mobility systems
are already inadequate, yet urbanisation and
increasing populations will increase demand still
further. Cities have traditionally sought to solve
such challenges by adding new capacity to match
demand. However, a capacity-building approach
alone is neither effcient nor sustainable.
On top of the growing demand, mobility needs
are changing and evolving, and travellers’
expectations of seamless movement are becoming
ever greater. Many new mobility solutions are
emerging, which leverage technology to improve
service provision and manage demand. A holistic
response to urban mobility optimises both
supply and demand solutions to facilitate more
sustainable outcomes.

SMART CITIES CORNERSTONE SERIES|URBAN MOBILITY IN THE SMART CITY AGE
FROM SMART CITY
TO SMART MOBILITY
In the technological era, we are facing the
emergence of a new market, in which new
business models and creative thinking are required
to design contemporary systems based on hard
infrastructure working together with operational
and digital technologies; to develop the service
relationships between existing and new actors;
and to fnance a robust and future-proof mobility
system.Mobility infrastructure has been identifed
as the number one priority for cities seeking to
attract investors, and as such it is high on the
agenda for many growing cities.
As we talk to cities and experts around the
world, we hear mobility articulated both as a
critical diffculty and a potential source of hope
to transform city operations. What is becoming
clear from our conversations is the need to
invest in infrastructure with a view to it serving
long-term needs of 50 years or more, and not
only immediate or short-term needs; the need to
treat mobility as one tool to enhance economic,
social and environmental wellbeing. There is a
common agreement that signifcant investment
and creative fnancing will be required, if mobility
infrastructure is to cope with growing pressures.
But, there is a consensus that we already have
suffcient technologies available today to take
positive steps to transform mobility systems.
So what is holding us back
This paper explores how we will move from
a reactive approach to mobility services, to a
proactive model that anticipates future change
and takes advantage of new opportunities. We
have a need for better assembly and integration
of components to manage continuously changing
demand and supply. Leadership, innovative
fnance, policy support, and citizen engagement
will be essential to drive change.
This is the frst paper in our series on the
cornerstones of a smart city; a series which
considers how we need to look at cities differently,
understand the stakes and the stakeholders, to
invent tomorrow’s cities - together.
With the release of this study, ‘Urban Mobility
in the Smart City Age’, our aim is to provide city
and mobility decision-makers with refections and
guidance on developing and adopting sustainable
strategies that meet current and evolving
challenges. We also hope to engage a wider
audience in this discussion.
We hope you will fnd this study useful, and we
would be pleased to discuss its fndings, conclusions
and the implications for your city. Schneider
Electric is working with cities around the world to
deliver safer, more effcient, and more sustainable
mobility in their cities.

GLOSSARY
SMART
In the context of cities and urban
infrastructure, ‘smart’ (or ‘intelligent’)
implies a connected, technology-
enabled environment, where the
creative power of digital assets and
information is leveraged to manage
city services and improve citizens’
quality of life. Smarter cities can offer
a range of benefts to progress urban
sustainability goals.
APPLICATION
PROGRAMMING
INTERFACE (API)
An interface between software
developers and digital infrastructure
that allows software to speak to
software, helping to unlock the
value oflarge datasets and lower
transaction costs for developers,
cities and businesses.
PHYSICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
The physical ‘hardware’ of human
environments, which includes
engineered assets like roads,
railways and transit hubs, as well
as natural assets. In this report, our
focus is on the engineered assets
related to mobility.
MOBILITY
Mobility describes the ability of
people and goods to move around
an area, and in doing so to access
the essential facilities, communities
and other destinations that are
required to support a decent quality
of life and a buoyant economy.
Mobility incorporates the transport
infrastructure and services that
facilitate these interactions.
OPERATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
Hardware and software that detects
prevailing conditions and enables
changes in conditions, through direct
monitoring or control of devices,
processes and events. Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) are the
operational technologies used in
mobility systems.
INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
The use of computers
to store, retrieve, transmit
and manipulate data.
SUSTAINABILITY
In the context of urban mobility,
sustainability refers to a system that
supports social connectivity and
economic prosperity in a fair and
equitable manner, without presenting
risks to local or global environmental
quality and resource use.
DIGITAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
The operational, information and
communication technologies that
contribute to effective management
and operations of human
environments, including the sensors,
actuators, transmitters and cables
that collect and distribute data.
