[oasc-iot-lsp-cities] Update

[Martin Brynskov]

Dear all,

This is a call specifically involving the reference zone/city representatives, so please indicate your availability:
City of Antwerp
City of Carouge
City of Eindhoven
City of Helsinki
City of Manchester
City of Milan
City of Novi Sad
City of Porto
City of Santander

Adrian Slatcher from Manchester have offered some additional reflections, which I share below. They are central to the reference zone discussion to be had.

>From Adrian:
> 1. I realise we didn't have time to talk through city pilots within the project, so we need to ensure these are at the centre of the project.
> 2. The city partners have a formidable infrastructure between them and leveraging this infrastructure seems key to this consortium's strengths. In this context, I wondered if there might need to be a benchmarking/study visits component in the first phase of the project looking at how those infrastructure models can help with knowledge transfer. 
> 3. As mentioned yesterday, I think there is much work going on around standards and security. If a marketplace could be for security projects /technologies as part of the Cascade funding call, I Think it would be a real strength for adoption.
> 4. Regarding the service design model for Manchester and the other city pilots, I'm speaking with potential partners and colleagues at the moment. My sense is that given the number of "thematic" pilots within CityVerve we should be looking at something that is more holistic rather than just transport, or environment. I think if the other city pilots are looking at thematic based services then we might be able to do something more "place" based that provides a useful extension of this. 

I have asked the WP3 team to facilitate the reference zone discussion.

Thanks.

Best,
Martin
