ICING - Innovative Cities for the Next Generation
Introduction
The Icing project aims to develop concepts of e-Government based on intelligent infrastructure in Helsinki, Dublin and Barcelona.
Description
ICING proposes to research concepts of e-Government based on a multimodal, multi-access approach to a "thin-skinned City" that is sensitive to the citizen and to the environment, using mobile devices, universal access gateways, social software and environmental sensors. Communities will be able to interact with the intelligent infrastructure to get services created by the administration, and create their own information-based services. 
Approach
Services and information will be delivered on a range of commodity devices, providing greater reach and accessibility to local government and communities. 
Solutions will be tested in "City Laboratories" in strategic city regeneration districts, 22@ in Barcelona, Grangegorman in Dublin and Arabianranta in Helsinki, where users will try and evaluate technologies and services.
Results
Outcomes include
  • A Vision Model of a more sensitive and accessible city
  • Technology Models and Open Source Tools for multi-modal access, Communications Gateways and Location Based Services that interact with the citizen and the environment
  • An "Urban Mediator" system for citizen-led services
  • Research-Based Evidence of community use
  • A Roadmap for implementation and further RTD
EU involvement
The project is partly EU-funded.
