The continuous improvement of cities to maximize the quality of life amongst its citizens must be a foundational principle of urban planning. It’s not, unfortunately, often found amongst urban plans. Cities that centralize QoL within its smart city vision need understanding and platforms to share their insights, project ideas and outcomes. The city of Dortmund is such an example and will launch the Dialogue series of the conference through an interactive session with its Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Jan Fritz Rettberg.
What does the term “Smart City” mean?
Can we call Trondheim as a Smart City? How smart is Trondheim compared to other cities?
What does Smart City actually mean for the inhabitants of Trondheim?
What is needed to maintain a smart city status?
… and other question will be highlighted in this conference element

Projects and quality of life share much common ground…including the essential involvement of multiple stakeholders to achieve both. For the first time within the IEEE-TEMS community, representatives from smart cities, the IEEE, project and education teams will meet to discuss the power of projects as tools in making future achievements.
Day 2, 19.03.2021
In the first edition of the Smart City Index (2019), Bilbao ranked ninth in the ranking that evaluates the effort and success of a city in adopting smart technologies to improve the lives of its citizens. There is no doubt that Bilbao has changed to the good in the last twenty years. But some shadows do remain, in areas such as inequality or transparency. These could be reduced using intelligent projects.
In this presentation we wish to offer different perspectives to the assessment of the Quality of Life of the city. We try to understand the importance of technology in this environment.

- What are the threshold concepts in project management?
- Sources of data in Project Management
- Analytical approaches for PM Data
On the Complementarity of Digital Technologies
The adoption of digital technologies is associated with a competitive advantage of organizations and differentiation of cities. Management scholars have already shed some light on the drivers and the effects of digital technologies’ adoption. However, less attention was devoted to the complementarity of digital technologies. While companies adopt various digital technologies, these cannot be adopted at once because of the lack of resources. Also, some digital technologies are related by sequential relationship. For example, analytic technologies exploit organizational data that must be collected and stored. In this presentation, two approaches for studying the issue of complementarity of digital technologies are presented. The “configurational” approach reveals digital technologies configurations that lead to increased substantive and symbolic performance. The “sequential” approach informs about the most prevalent sequences of adoption of digital technologies. Both approaches expose the patterns of adoption of digital technologies.

Human interactions in a highly networked world – are human interactions facilitated with or by technology and what are the challenges?
Smart cities, e-mobility, digital ecosystems or collaborative projects all have in common that people are connected in a personal social network and use digital systems every day. We are living in a hybrid social world with personal interactions and daily technical interactions. In the presentation the different types of interactions will be reflected and discussed what changes in collaboration patterns already emerged and what challenges will arise in future.
Covered topics will be:
- Effects of a digital virus pandemic – the next Corona can be digital
- Manipulated human interactions through technology
- Social empathy vs. digital nomads
- Digitalization and sustainability

This open, guided discussion will encourage debate on culture in the context of smart city research, as an essential element of quality of life. With discussion not restricted to the panel and open to all attendees, progressed through a series of questions, participants will delve into culture as part of city planning and development, how it can be measured, and what education and research are needed on this topic to raise awareness.
Day 3, 20.03.2021
Australia is highly urbanized and based on the 2016 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), more than three-quarters of its population live in urban areas. Along with rapid urbanization, Australia has also faced various complex challenges in recent years, including water crises, aging population, bushfires and pandemic that are critical to its environment, health, economy and society. The need to address the upcoming national challenges along with the need to keep up with the rapidly changing technological world, require Australian cities to adopt smart city approaches to enhance their organizational capacity. To this end, the Australian government committed to its smart cities plan in 2016 to encourage productive, accessible and liveable cities with a clear focus on serving their citizens.
This presentation discusses the challenges Australia is facing in the 21st century along with the existing smart city strategies and development plans. The presentation follows to investigate Australian public and private smart cities projects, how the benefits of citizens were considered in the projects and the impacts of the projects on Australian communities and on resolving Australia’s national challenges. The presentation concludes with discussion around the challenges and opportunities involved and provides suggestions for the future development of smart cities in Australia.

All over the world a lot of effort is put into research, funding and implementation of Smart Cities. With good reason to do so, as research has shown that the possible savings possible in healthcare, transportation and energy are considerably high. At the same time, Smart Cities can help to overcome the societal challenges of modern-day society, such as climate change, poverty, health, growing population, energy consumption.
Unfortunately, to date, the development of smart cities in Belgium has been moderate. Research by the European Parliament places Belgium in its second tier of countries ranked by smart city initiatives. As the most densely populated country in Europe, with more than 98% of its population living in cities and city-regions, it ought to rank higher.
Belgium is divided into a lot of sub-governmental bodies, which makes decision-making very complicated. Moreover, we do not have many bigger cities with a population of over 100,000, so progress can only be made in regional consortia. This is the main reason why it is taking a long time and why at this moment we are still mostly stuck in show-case and demo-projects.
In general, we can single out 6 dimensions in Smart Cities, being smart people, smart environment, smart mobility, smart governance, smart economy, smart living. In our presentation, we will give our personal perspective on smart living, smart governance, smart mobility and smart energy. We will give a short overview on what is happening in Belgium, what are the preliminary results and on how we are affected with the several initiatives on a personal level.

Meaningful insight will be shared throughout the conference. City leaders, project managers, academic and industry partners will showcase their most current thinking on the challenges of smart cities but…then what? Conferences are but one point in a knowledge continuum to bring insight into actionable knowledge. Ending the event will be both a reflection and a guide in establishing a research agenda under the leadership of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
Meaningful insights will be offered during the conference across many topics. But as a single point in the knowledge sharing continuum, the end of a conference is also the beginning of another conversation or, in this case, the beginning of a series. The E-TEMS conference series will build on the knowledge and opinions offered in Dortmund to lay the foundation for further investigations in Bilbao, Kaunas, Trondheim and Leuven. During an agenda-setting discussion, topics and areas for collaboration will be identified that will allow for continued research across the European community and beyond. More meaningfulness will undoubtedly follow.
We will announce the winners of such award categories as:
- Best paper
- Best reviewer/Best review
- Best remark made during the Conference
The winners will receive a gift (to be announced during the opening).
