Egypt has undergone one of the most ambitious urban transformation programmes in the world in recent years.
One of Egypt’s greatest achievements has been transforming urban development into a comprehensive national development strategy rather than isolated construction projects.
For Egypt, housing development is therefore both an economic growth strategy and a social development priority.
How is the government balancing flagship urban development projects with the need to ensure affordability and accessibility for ordinary Egyptians?
Our objective is clear: modern urban development must benefit all segments of society and create opportunities for future generations.

If those functions become mobile, autonomous, virtual, distributed, or delivered to us, we may have to rethink what a city is actually for.
Banking is slowly unbundling into a dozen specialized fintech apps that each do one thing better than a traditional bank ever did.
Now, for the first time in human history, the city itself is starting to unbundle — and almost nobody is prepared for what that means.
Work Leaves First, Everything Else Follows Work was the first major piece of the city bundle to come loose, and it’s still the most visible.
Salt Lake City saw downtown foot traffic climb nearly 140% above 2020 levels by investing in exactly the same kind of amenities.

Now, a year later, Charlottesville tech leaders who led the modernization efforts are reflecting back on the challenges and successes of the journey.
The upgrade from the city’s on-prem SAP enterprise resource planning system to the company’s S/4HANA Cloud and ERP started in July 2024, before going live in September 2025.
Charlottesville cycled through “five or six city managers” in a short period, leading to difficulties securing funding and approval, Hawkes said.
He also said that some city leaders didn’t really understand what an ERP was or what SAP offered, and questioned the idea of running an ERP in local government.
But with the new ERP, Hawkes said the city now benefits from a modern, user‑friendly front end with room to grow into artificial intelligence capabilities.

The battle for the wallet: Crypto versus bank account When we talk about economic autonomy for robotics, one question inevitably arises: How do you pay a robot?
No one will open a traditional bank account for a robot — it’s not a legal entity.
Lawyers from Baker McKenzie note that no European jurisdiction will accept robot economic autonomy in contract law.
Experts now pin their hopes on observation networks, which are already being deployed in smart cities.
Don’t despair about the economics of robotics The economic autonomy of robots won’t happen tomorrow.

The proposed Data Center Moratorium Ordinance would temporarily halt the development of new facilities and material expansions of existing data centres.
Developing new rules for data centres The task force has been charged with developing a coordinated regulatory framework that responds to the increasing scale, energy intensity and resource requirements of modern data centres.
Its work will build on recommendations from the Sustainable Data Centers Working Group, which examined the sector through engagement with utilities, data centre operators, environmental organisations and community stakeholders.
The city is also progressing stronger benchmarking requirements intended to provide greater transparency around the energy and water consumed by data centres.
“This moratorium gives the city the time needed to lead the way on municipal best practices for regulating data centres.”

As smart city development and new retail expand across Europe, outdoor digital signage is becoming an important part of urban digital infrastructure.
Addressing Industry Pain Points Outdoor digital signage operates in far more demanding conditions than indoor displays.
To address these challenges, Qinghua Peng led EKAA’s R&D team in developing a fully sealed precision heat-exchange system for IP67 outdoor displays.
Reshaping Outdoor Commercial Applications Qinghua Peng believes future outdoor digital signage should not only display advertising content, but also serve as a reliable visual terminal for smart cities, retail, transportation, and public information systems.
EKAA outdoor digital signage combines high-brightness LCD panels, wide color gamut technology, IP67 fully sealed protection, IK10 impact resistance, fanless thermal management, and low-maintenance design.

Johnson Controls has joined the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed 2.0 at the National University of Singapore, a programme that will examine AI-ready data centre systems in tropical conditions.
The move comes as Singapore expands data centre capacity while trying to limit the impact of rising power, water and land use.
STDCT 2.0 brings together industry and academic partners to test data centre and AI technologies in a live tropical environment.
Austin Domenici, President of Data Centre Solutions at Johnson Controls, said the industry needed to rethink how data centre infrastructure is designed as AI demand grows.
Instead, the testbed is intended to examine how cooling, controls, power and other systems work together under local operating conditions.

In the study "AI Adoption Enablers and Institutional Governance for Sustainable Infrastructure Resilience in Smart Cities," published in Sustainability, Wael Alattyih and Mohamed T. Elnabwy examine what makes AI appear valuable for resilient urban services.
These are findings about perceived resilience, not proof that AI has prevented outages or reduced losses.
They rated conditions associated with AI adoption, aspects of institutional governance and infrastructure resilience across environmental, economic and social dimensions.
The best-performing model explained a modest share of variation in perceived resilience.
Stakeholders who saw clearer practical benefits from AI tended to rate infrastructure resilience more highly.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq’s National Investment Commission (NIC), in coordination with the Ministry of Environment and the Spanish Embassy in Baghdad, officially launched the country’s first smart automated pneumatic waste collection system (URD) on Saturday, September 26, 2026, marking a pivotal milestone in the modernization of municipal sanitation and sustainable urban management.
The initiative introduces advanced underground vacuum collection networks designed to eliminate conventional curbside dumpsters and heavy collection vehicular traffic across newly planned smart cities and licensed residential investment developments.
Speaking at the launch conference attended by an Iraqi News Agency (INA) correspondent, NIC Deputy Chairman Salar Mohammed Amin affirmed that the adoption of the URD pneumatic network represents a comprehensive national initiative requiring deep cross-institutional synergy between public ministries, municipal directorates, and private developers.
Amin emphasized that sustainable investment must transcend structural brick-and-mortar construction to create integrated, livable urban ecosystems that elevate daily public health and quality of life.
Spanish Ambassador to Iraq Alicia Rico Pérez del Pulgar underscored that the rollout of the pneumatic vacuum infrastructure represents a substantial qualitative leap toward modernizing waste management practices through cleaner, more energy-efficient technologies.

Berlin’s official event listing describes the festival as an opportunity to experience around 120 years of railway history.
Preserving a working landscape The Schöneweide depot is not simply a backdrop.
Berlin’s event information advises visitors to arrive by public transport because parking capacity at the depot is very limited.
By putting historical vehicles beside newer technology, the Schöneweide festival makes that continuity visible.
