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 Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) jointly supports smart cities in Germany and worldwide in the dialogue between politics, administration, business, science and civil society. Get to know the community and the services of the Smart City Dialogue and get in touch with us.

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.

BerlinTXL, the transformation of a former airport into a pioneering sustainble and digitally-driven urban quarter remains one of Germany's few and exciting "greenfield developments" in the Smart City space. With this session we want to update the International Smart Cities Network on the progress since the last time BerlinTXL visited the "ISCN Global Mixer" as a speaker and thus offer a close-up to the rythm of this major and inspiring project.

Alba Iulia and Arnsberg are celebrating in 2024 the 50th anniversary of their municipal partnership. Through their tandem activities in #connectedinEurope they enhanced their mutual cooperations with a smart city lens, ultimately with the ambition for a joint project to link some of their open data to each other.

In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Shanmathi Rajkumar and Paul Stadelhofer from TU Dresden presented the U_CAN project, which supports Ukraine’s transition to carbon-neutral and smart urban development. U_CAN, funded by the European Union’s Horizon program, connects six Ukrainian pilot cities with European counterparts to implement tailored innovations and drive smart urban development through knowledge-sharing initiatives.

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.

The ISCN is organizing jointly with the OECD a roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive Growth. An international group of distinguished speakers and stakeholders of smart city development will come together in Paris on september 17th. It will discuss the current state of digital transitions in cities, how to leverage AI for sustainable urban development and how to translate further vision into action for successful digital transitions in cities of all sizes.

Cities and forests are related to each other and the provision of resources and protection is mutual: This edition of the ISCN Global Mixer looks at a solution to achieve ultra-early detection of wildfires through extended IOT-sensoring.
