CitySDK is a platform to share real-time data and making it available to developers and citizens alike. By implementing CitySDK, cities and citizens can make use of applications built elsewhere, while developers massively extend their potential reach. Opening up can lead to better services, and eventually better cities.

2. Design Rules for Smarter Cities
• Your citizens know more than you.
• Prototype early and fast, engage the stakeholders, iterate quickly and be
prepared to start all over.
• Embrace self-organisation and civic initiative, but help to make the results
sustainable and scalable.
• Know what you are talking about in the face of technology. Never rely on
consultants that will sell you more consultancy, not solutions.
• Have binding decisions made at the lowest level possible and actively preach
self-governance.
• Favour loosely coupled, smaller systems over monoliths and mastodons, and
use peer-defined standards to glue together the parts. Small systems tend to fail
sometimes; large systems fail for sure.
• To raise and deserve trust, build systems based on data reciprocity and
transparency.
• Reuse existing parts and design your additions for reuse, adding to the public
domain and thereby strengthening its capacity to act and learn.

 services on real-time traffic
data from multiple sources
 Results: open source travel
assistant application,
several harmonized cities’
backend systems,
cluster of SME developers
working on value-added services
for Smart Mobility
