In this session of the Global Mixer, learn how local communities in Freetown are using drones and open data to map their city — building skills, opportunity, and smarter urban planning along the way.

The KLIPS project in Dresden demonstrates how AI and real-time environmental data can support climate adaptation in cities. Using over 250 temperature sensors and satellite imagery, the project maps and forecasts urban heat islands to inform data-driven, climate-resilient urban planning.

In this session of the ISCN Global Mixer we will look at the Citiverse in Korea, an immersive approach with which the country is advancing its Smart Cities and which puts people at the center of urban innovation. Pilot projects like Seoul’s Metaverse Government Platform test how digitalization can foster inclusive governance, new services, and richer citizen engagement.

In this session of the ISCN Global Mixer we looked at research from the SmartCity Living Lab of DFKI, the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, that demonstrates the potential of data-driven urban solutions, highlighting benefits for municipalities and remaining hurdles.

With its new "ISCN Spotlight" format, the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) brings together invited experts from 4-5 different countries and regions of the world for a dedicated practical exchange on current smart city topics. Focus topic of the first edition: The development of urban digital twins (UDT).

On 16 September 2024, a day before the 4th OECD Roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive Growth, the participating cities of the #connectedinEurope programme of the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building met in Paris for their final on-site meeting. A packed agenda encompassed specific discussion points on datasets and digital twins, the summary of exchange activities and a collection of next steps for after the programme.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Enoh Tabak and Sandra Schett from the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) presented the outcomes of the #connectedinEurope project. Discover how peer-to-peer exchanges among 12 European cities have driven smart city development through collaborative efforts in areas such as digital twins, data spaces, and open data exchange.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Serena Mombelli and Patricio Reyes from vCity, a platform led by the Data Analytics and Visualization Group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, shared insights on how data-driven analysis can support human-centred urban planning and policy-making. In this session they present a use case approximating in greater detail whether high-risk groups have adequate access to Barcelona's climate shelters during heatwaves.

Smart Cities will only be sustainable if they nurture and enhance their green (and blue) infrastructure. This Online Advisory Programme (OAP) of the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) will dive deeper into measures that try to skillfully and meaningfully combine the realms of technology and nature for a greener common good-oriented urban development.

This Online Advisory Programme (OAP) of the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) was dedicated to perhaps the most common "interface" with which we all understand our cities and communities: Maps! We dived into the swarm-intelligent creation of new types of maps and data points through interactive citizen participation. Three proven experts, Angela Oduor Lungati from Ushahidi, Kenya, Polly Hudson from Project Colouring Cities in the UK, and Tabea Danke from the Project Colouring Dresden shared their experiences.
