CITY
PROTOCOL
Process to promote
progress & innovation
in cities based in
rationality, shared
knowledge and
agreements
VALUE
of Internationalization
• Leverage. Help cities circumvent institutional barriers to learning at regional and national scale
• Legitimacy. Provide leadership and success stories from high-profile cities to legitimize a new culture of
learning for cities, with expectations of support by local leaders for pioneering new technologies,
transferring successful policy, research, and continuous improvement, at all levels and across all sectors
• Integrated Design. Go far beyond two-day tours by exploring protocols for enabling participation in the
emerging new forms of collaborative governance and integrated design. Involvement of key personal in workshops in remote cities can establish lasting and transformative relationships, and contribute directly to a more creative, integrated, engaging and worldwide process for planning, design and management
• Communications. Proactive focus on overcoming the language and geographical barriers that prevent
rapid policy transfer between similar but separated locations
• Bargaining power. Greater resources and a ‘common stand’, which can help to address what is expected to
be a massive new set of opportunities and threats for cities posed by IT
• Market Stimulant. Interoperability and accessibility of data, if properly managed and standardized, can
help to increase the market for sophisticated software and hardware and for entrepreneurial and creative solutions at all levels and scales for community groups and businesses servicing CPS compliant city systems
• Affordability and Accessibility. Greater market and choice should lead to lower cost IT systems and
increased choice is soft apps and SMART solutions
• ‘One City’ Realities. Flows of money, goods, people, and the increasingly regional or global nature of
threats, means that cities are becoming a system of cities in a shared environment that must learn and innovate together
• Balancing Public and Private. Cities need to stay in control of their information – and their fate – by
establishing the rules and the standards for the powerful private sector firms operating globally.
Information on built environments needs to be a city mediated resource that serves public interests first and foremost.
