RES4MEDA Smart city project: rationale
Arising needs
Analyzing the Mediterranean context, a number of initiatives have beenstarted promoting urban scale projects focusing on sustainaibility.
In fact, as Mediterranean countries move forward on the path of economicdevelopment, urbanization processes will challenge local
governments and utilities responsible for providing services to anincreasing population.
Our aims
RES4MEDs current workplan pays significant attention to intelligentsolutions fulfilling electricity and thermal energy uses needs.
Among others, RES4MEDs associates have started preparing solutionsto be implemented in the urban environment.
Our aim is to offer a contribution to Authorities and Industry playersfor Smart city projects design.

Main initiativesCovenant of Mayors moving to South
In January 2012, in Bari, the Euro-Mediterranean Regional and LocalAssemblys (ARLEM), in a plenary session co-chaired by the Committee ofthe Region, advocated for the extensions of the Covenant of Mayors tothe Southern Mediterranean cities and region.
Covenant of Mayorswas hailed as a model for collective actions and amajor tool to provide local and regional authorities with support
mechanisms necessary:
to help local communities in the region to establish an innovative regionaland cohesion policies;
to orient such policies and actions towards sustainability, economicand social development;
to help Southern Mediterranean cities taking the lead in this field. Before, the first city to sign the Covenant of Mayorshad been Sal
(Morocco) in 2011 which paved the way to a close connection betweenNorthern and Southern Med cities.

Main initiativesCooperation in Urban Development and Dialogue (CIUDAD)
Earlier, CIUDAD programme has been launched in 2009 to help localgovernments in the ENPI region enhance their capacity to plan forsustainable, integrated and long-term urban development.
So far, CIUDAD has supported 21 projects presented by cities from theENPI South and East regions in partnerships, covering one or more of thefollowing three themes:
Environmental sustainability, renewables and energy efficiency;
Sustainable economic development and reduction of social disparities,and;
Good governance and sustainable urban development planning.
A CIUDAD supporting mechanism has been made available to ensure a
proper technical assistance to such partnerships mainly helping fororganization, monitoring and control projects, communication anddissemination, networking.
Southern Mediterranean cities have played a major role in deliveringprojects within this initiative.

Lessons learnedMany cities are moving their steps
Southern Mediterranean cities have been working proactively in thefield ofsustainability.
Focus on water/waste management projects, as the most importantissues for growing urban areas have been observed. Energyefficiency problems have attracted attention, as well.
There is room for new cooperation initiatives, since:
urban planning is receiving strong attention in all SEMEDcountries;
energy demand will increase and energy supply and distributionissues will be faced;
renewable energy and energy efficiency technology shall be takeninto account as a part of the solution;
proper network and energy production design in urban areas is apart of the entire challenge.

Focus on MoroccoA consistent energy strategy
10May 2013Smart city project
National Priority Action Plan(PNAP), launched in 2008, set atarget to meet 1012% of thecountrys primary energy demand by2020 and 1520% by 2030 withrenewable energy sources.
Water strategyRationalisation of water use in all
sectors especially in agriculture, whichreceives over 80% of available waterand that could save 50% of it.
National Energy EfficiencyProgramme targets a saving of 15%of energy by 2020 through improvingenergy efficiency in several sectors.
Rural Electrification ProgramLed to the installation of 2,000photovoltaic systems, funded in part bythe users, as well as several groupsystems such as small hydraulic ordiesel power plants linked to micro-networks.
Solar Program: The aim of the plan is to generate 2,000 megawatts (or 2 GW)
of solar power by the year 2020
Wind Program: Pipeline of wind power projects to realize its objective of 2GW
of wind power by 2020.
Solar water heating program (PROMASOL): To boost the solar water
heating market, thanks to an incentive mechanism and accompanying
measures.
Optimisation of Energy Use in Buildings: The projects currently in thepipeline deal with the optimisation of energy use in buildings, including
reducing consumption through demand-side management measures, and
more efficient lighting practices.
Efficient use of wood: To improve the energy efficiency of traditional heating
systems (urban component based mainly in Casablanca and other cities, and a
rural component targeting certain provinces). Dissemination of improved
biomass stoves is an important factor in this program.
Programmes
Law 13/09 on Renewable Energy Sources
Law 13/03 on the prevention and fight against the emission of air pollutants
Law 12/03 on environmental impact assessments
Law 10/95 on water resources management framework

Focus on MoroccoForerunning Smart city initiatives
11May 2013Smart city project
Mohammed VI green city
Mohammed VI green city, close to Benguerir, a one-off project inAfrica that gives a new impetus to a megaproject joining modernity andsustainable development.The project offers convenient infrastructure, an ecological space and a lifestyle that ensures well-being, diversity, and social and cultural welfare forits inhabitants. The city will be developed around the Mohammed VIPolytechnic University, a private institution with international dimensions,and which will be the engine of development for the green city
New Medina
Within the New Medina project, a large-scale programme has been announcedin 2006 to create up to 15 new citiesby the year 2020, in order toaccompany Morocco's economic anddemographic growth.
Main projects (to be built):
ChRafate City (Tangier)
Lkhyayta (Casablanca)
Tagadirt (Agadir)
Melloussa (Tangier)
Zenata Al Jadida (Casablanca)
New-built Tamansourt (Marrakech)
Tamesna (Rabat)
Sal
In May 2011, Sal joined the Covenant of Mayors making it the firstMoroccan, Mediterranean, African and Arab city to sign up to theinitiative.
Recently, Sal hosted an interregional conference with the objectiveof sharing its experience in the development of Sustainable EnergyAction Plans (SEAPs) and enticing other South Mediterranean cities to
join the European-born movement.
The SEAP fall within the framework of the SURE project (Sustainable UrbanEnergy in the ENPI Region) , funded by the European Union in theframework of the CIUDAD programme. As part of this project, Sal and itspartners have developed a comprehensive guide to support city expertsfrom the ENPI-East and ENPI-South regions with completing the SEAPdevelopment process. Similarly, they also issued guidelines on how toimplement sustainable urban energy strategies with the help of Europeanpartners and support of the European Union.

Smart city projectsKey success factors
13May 2013Smart city project
The policy background established by the mentioned initiatives providescrucial factors for smart city projects, such as:
an holistic vision of sustainable urban development
authorities commitment
consistent urban planning
effective stakeholders involvement and management.
Then, since a smart city project needs cooperation of public bodies andprivate actors, they ask for:
national and local utilities involvement
stable and predictableregulation environment
early identification oftechnical and administrative barriers
sound economic and financial feasibility conditions.
Under such conditions, investors can be attracted and public-privatepartnership can work effectively.
