        a joint building initiative between the city of Grenoble and Grenoble Alpes Métropole;
        the voluntary participation of the citizens of Grenoble.

     This integrated data platform based on real-time energy and water flows simplifies decision-taking and assessment of
     actions related to controlling consumption, and to energy management and planning in the territory. It features special
     interfaces for the city’s decision-makers, building managers and citizens.
     Between now and 2019, the aims will be to:
         integrate this platform in the geographical and energy information systems run by the city of Grenoble and Grenoble
     Alpes Métropole;
         make this data available in Open Data mode;
         envisage the possibility of incorporating data from other urban utilities.

     The ABC concept aims to deploy uses and technologies permitting to achieve self-suffi-
     ciency in water and in energy of a building as well as to optimize waste management at
     the scale of a building or a neighborhood. It integrates new architectural and technical solutions, optimizes the building
     process, and introduces a vision based on “living better together” in harmony with the environment: sobriety, self-con-
     sumption, energy needs covered by renewable energies, improvement of waste sorting and recycling in situ, shared spac-
     es, accessibility for inhabitants, etc. The project is based on ambitious objectives and aims at self sufficiency levels, never
     before achieved in a context of collective housing in urban centres.

     • reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by avoiding energy consumption peaks.
     The grid manages the production of renewable energy but also its consumption and storage to ensure the best and
     smartest energy management at the district level. It aims to pave the way for tomorrow’s energy management.
     Thanks to last generation smart meters and the IT platform, it is now possible to analyze energy production and con-
     sumption within the district. Smart meters collect all the production and consumption data. This data is used to do real
     time monitoring and an analysis of usage in order to advice users. Working in close collaboration with the electricity dis-
     tribution network, this unique and smart system advices and encourages consumers, to consume at “the right time” and
     reduce energy consumption peaks. Smart street lighting was installed and an electric distribution station balances energy
     consumption, production and storage in connection with the regional office of the grid management agency. The battery
     storage solution is environmental friendly as it uses recycled batteries from electric vehicles.
     As a modern district loaded with history, the Fort digital paths were developed to allow everyone to discover the story
     of the place. The digital culture center “Le Temps Des Cerises” is the heart of the event where people discover Fort d’Issy
     history with the robot NAO as a tour guide, testing Google Glasses or through an interactive application with multimedia
     contents using augmented reality or 3D technology.

TUBÀ
                                      The new Urban Experimentation site
                                      celebrates its first anniversary

 The TUBÀ, which opened in November 2014 in the midst of the Lyon Part-Dieu district, is a unique testing ground for
 urban service uses that call upon or generate public and private digital data. It fosters innovation, incubation, and devel-
 opment of innovative projects for better city living in the future.

 /// Citizens made central to the city’s production system
 At the TUBÀ, the city’s citizens are an essential link in the creative process and are a key thread in the very fabric of the
 city. Feedback on product and service tests, along with their expressed requirements and desires, means that the new
 services being designed are tailored to user needs.

 /// Data: the TUBÀ’s raw material
 Every day, increasing amounts of data are produced. Mastering, processing, and translating these data form a formida-
 ble catalyst for growth. Creation of the TUBÀ is meeting this challenge by integrating the Métropole de Lyon’s innova-
 tive strategy on data: OpenData, user licenses, networking local actors, mixing public data from the data.grandlyon.fr
 data platform and private data from major groups – everything possible is done to nourish this promising ecosystem.

 /// TUBÀ: agility that benefits the region
 The TUBÀ is about agility. It is the perfect place to innovate, brainstorm, create, and co-design innovative products.
 Being centered on services to citizens, it provides a platform for exploring and testing product or service prototypes
 with and for urban users.

 /// TUBÀ: partners committed to building the city of tomorrow
 The TUBÀ supports its public and private partners working on designing and testing of the city of tomorrow. Brain-

                                        A customisable multi-service app

     What did my child eat at the school canteen? Is my favourite swimming pool open? How many parking spaces left in my
     car park? Are there any traffic jams? How long till my bus comes?... The app caters for the everyday requirements of people
     on the move in Nantes.

     /// User-centred services
     Customisable: users can choose and configure the services they need.
     User-centred content: Nantes Métropole puts user satisfaction first, so doesn’t confine the app to its own services: nu-
     merous partner APIs are also included.
     User friendliness: the data is delivered live, on-demand and with a single tap.

     /// A scalable, collaborative approach
     Nantes initially brought out a pilot version, which was downloaded 20,000 times. User testing sessions were organised
     and an online survey was run to assess the pilot app and get Version 1 ready for early 2016.
     A number of services will be added: they were designed in liaison with a user panel, through an open innovation collabo-
     ration between Orange and various start-ups.
     The Orange platform has considerable potential for subsequent development, as many of the modules it contains can be
     activated if necessary (push delivery, NFC contactless technology, etc.).
