The Santander Case Study

Santander is the capital of the autonomous region of Cantabria. With nearly 175,000 inhabitants, trade and services provide employment for more than 70 percent of its active population. Santander reinvents itself to enhance the quality of life of its citizens and visitors with facilities and new services in keeping with the times. The traditional, elegant city is also now a ground-breaking city which takes risks and innovates, which embraces technology to make life a little easier with more and improved services in tourism, culture, business, transport and municipal administration in various areas.

In recent years, the city of Santander has moved into the vanguard of smart cities, improving public services and developing policies oriented towards its citizens and the stimulation of a new business model of productivity for the city. Amongst the projects, the SmartSantander initiative has established a before and after in the way of conceiving and organising innovation in the city. Thus, Santander is well-known as a living lab in which to experiment with new technologies, applications and services. A sustainability model has been developed based on the creation of a City Platform. All the urban services must be integrated into it, as they are tendered with the aim of developing true intelligence in the Smart City. The City Council of Santander is characterised by its eagerness to provide more efficient city management and closer to the citizen through the use of new technologies. Currently a laboratory to process traffic data and mobility is being implemented in collaboration with the University of Cantabria. From the data collection infrastructure deployed in the city, real-time traffic and mobility information will be received. Also, access to 25 traffic cameras connected to the Santander Traffic Control Centre will be provided. We will also include real-time information from the SAE Urban Transport.  ​​

SETA in Santander

See the Santander as pilot city:
  • Provide Authority Support.
  • Provide features, requirements, from the point of view of a currently running Smart City.
  • Assess real “use cases”. Establish needs for adaptation to our city.
  • Review and check results.
  • The Promotion of citizen’s participation.
  • Communication and dissemination.
  • Santander plan to use the SETA infrastructure as part of their internal decision process.

​Santander is currently running a competition amongst schools to track the mobility of the morning/afternoon school run. The competition requires users to download the SETA 4 School app (for Android or iOS). See the video describing the competition. Results are displayed on the gamification portal.
