Time to reinvent our cities or be left behind, warns Nokia bossNokia Oceania chief technology officer Warren Lemmens has called for moves towards standard city digital platforms and innovation ecosystems. Finnish tech giant Nokia is calling for concerted political and industry effort to develop smarter cities in Australia, with the firm's local technology boss heading to Canberra this week to warn of the dangers of being left behind. "We need more than a start-up culture; we need a standard city digital platform and an innovation ecosystem that solves real problems, creates new applications that deliver jobs and export opportunities. Australia faces key capability gaps in positioning its cities to win in the technologically disrupted future. "A lot of what will be driving the evolution of the digital economy is not being discussed in Australia," Mr Lemmens said.

Nokia has developed a framework to enable the implementation of smart cities by governments, saying more emphasis needs to be put on developing an overarching strategy rather than small projects. According to Nokia, while the Australian government has announced its intention to build smart cities, there are "major gaps" in how it is going about doing so. According to Nokia, Australia needs to depart from this vertical approach, wherein industries drive the smart city projects towards a horizontal approach spearheaded by government. Nokia spent last week spruiking its framework and smart cities vision to Australian government departments and ministers in Canberra, hoping to drive a more "sophisticated" conversation around the digital economy. Nokia's framework, published on Tuesday in Nokia's A new world of cities and the future of Australia report, is designed to aid regions in designing and procuring services for smart city concepts.
