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.

In this session of the Global Mixer, discover how Smart City Mannheim uses artificial intelligence and sensor data to create a real-time microclimate model — producing a living digital picture of the city’s climate.

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 look at a digital twin prototype for Tshwane in South Africa that shows how real-time data and optimised routes can cut costs and emissions, transforming waste management in resource-limited settings!

Join us for an inspiring international exchange on how AI is shaping the future of smart cities and urban development in a common good-oriented manner – with insights drawn from Germany’s “Model Projects Smart City” programme and other initiatives, as well as projects on urban AI in France.

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).

The International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) and the OECD were jointly organizing the 4th Roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive Growth on 17 September 2024 in Paris. Under the title of "Shaping smart cities of all sizes", an international group of experts came together to discuss and showcase strategies and solutions.

Like a fish in water – that’s how the International Smart Cities Network (ISCN) “swam” through the annual Smart City Expo in Barcelona, perhaps the world’s biggest event on urban digitalization with way over 20,000 attendees and 1000+ exhibitors. The ISCN shared keynotes on comparing German and international smart city projects, organized a little "Meet the German Cities" session, and brought back many impressions and contacts for its network in Germany and the world over.

The cities of the #connectedinEurope programme came together for an online-workshop on 30 July that focused on the very fundament of each smart city: Datasets.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer the city of Halle (Saale) presented their Digital Twin project HAL-Plan. Katja Gehrmann and Albert Steinbach gave insights into the key components of the solution and the toolsets they derive from the twin in the areas of urban planning, ecology, economic development and mobility.
