Urban world population keeps increasing, and according to United Nations, 69% of • the population will be living in cities worldwide in 2050. This scenario will increase the number and the complexity of the challenges to face, in socio-economic, political and environmental terms. For this reason, priorities in the cities have to evolve from an approach focused on • the support to rapid urban growth to another one oriented towards a higher quality and efficiency in urban management and in the services provided to the citizen . There are already different European cities which are developing technological • projects in the field of smart cities, but these projects have a limited impact and may lack an integrated approach to tackle these new challenges in an efficient way. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are an essential enabler and • contributor to the Smart Cities and Communities initiative, providing the main technology building blocks to achieve such integrated approach and to support the Europe 2020 targets on climate and energy. 2

Spain: a great bet in a new enery model Spain: a great bet in a new enery model Spain has invested heavily in the development of renewable energies , in energy • efficiency and in greenhouse gases reduction. Both through R&D, Infrastructures and market development (feed-in tarifs). Develop a thriving industry founded on technological innovation . • The roll-out of renewable energies, transformation of energy grids, and basically our • new energy model, has become an interesting model, taken in many cases as a good example of cooperation between the public administration, business and social institutions . At the end of 2009, renewable energies covered approximately 11% of our final • energy consumption, and forecasts for 2020 indicate that we are going to achieve 20% target in 2010. There are numerous and successful smart actions carried out in Spanish cities that • combined the previous work for promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency. 5
