In Durham, North Carolina, residents who are incarcerated can have a say in how the city spends a slice of its budget.
Residents in Minnesota’s Twin Cities can access a municipally owned electric car-sharing and car-charging network that may be the first of its kind.
Smart Cities Dive has named those four projects the 2026 Smart Cities Dive Community Project Award winners.
The Smart Cities Dive Community Project Awards continue the tradition of the American City & County Crown Communities Award following last year’s merger between AC&C and Smart Cities Dive.
Congratulations to the local leaders who spearheaded these projects in Durham, North Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota; and Orlando, Florida.
