The trouble is that most of these contracts are signed without a standardized evaluation framework. This means many vendors will underdeliver. Some already have. The vendors in this space aren’t necessarily bad actors, but the category is new and the technology is just obscure enough that procurement officers are often forced to evaluate platforms using criteria the vendors themselves wrote. It’s a classic procurement trap: Cities sign contracts based on “sunny day” demos, only to receive deliverables that don't match the sales pitch. By the time the gap is visible, the budget is spent and the vendor is already pitching to the next county over. The problem is evident not just in street-level imagery like digital twins, but across the rapidly expanding smart cities sector as a whole. The U.S. smart cities market has roughly doubled in value over the last five years and continues to grow rapidly. Similar risks appear in other emerging technologies that cities are adopting, including Internet of Things sensors for traffic, air quality and parking; license plate recognition systems; and AI-powered predictive maintenance. Without rigorous scrutiny, these deals frequently lead to underperforming systems, vendor lock-in and wasted budgets. This pattern is repeatable, but it’s also preventable. Asking potential vendors the following seven questions won‘t guarantee you pick the perfect partner, but they will ensure the wrong one has nowhere to hide. 1. Why are you pushing for a sole-source procurement? 2. What are your actual hardware uptime statistics? Hardware fails. Cameras go down. GPS locks drop. Software pipelines break. Any vendor operating in the field has uptime data. Ask for it specifically. If your vendor responds to an uptime question with miles driven, images captured or parcels processed, they have answered a different question than the one you asked. That is not an accident. Demand

Abstract The rapid development of smart cities, fueled by the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and interconnected systems, has greatly enhanced urban infrastructure, especially in transportation and energy management. However, this increased connectivity also raises the risk of cyberattacks, threatening service availability, financial stability, and public safety. This study introduces a resilient cybersecurity framework designed to detect and classify various cyber threats, including DoS, DDoS, Reconnaissance, Sybil, Replay, and Spoofing attacks, targeting critical transportation systems such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, and Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). By combining machine learning with Federated Learning (FL), the framework effectively tackles key challenges like high computational costs, dependence on centralized data, and scalability across different IoT systems. FL improves data privacy by keeping sensitive information on edge devices, reducing concerns over centralized data storage. Moreover, TreeSHAP, an interpretability technique, is utilized to provide transparency and deeper insights into attack detection. The proposed system achieves high F1 scores of 0.980, 0.982, and 0.99 on the CICIoV2024, CICEVSE2024, and VeReMi Extension datasets, respectively, demonstrating its effectiveness on multiple IoT security datasets relevant to smart city transportation and energy systems. while safeguarding user privacy.

If you live in a European city today, chances are that your most pressing concern is not the melting glaciers, but your next rent cheque. According to the June Eurobarometer on urban challenges, “Lack of affordable housing is by far the most urgent issue for respondents living in cities, with 51% considering it to be an immediate and urgent problem.” This data reveals a stark friction point for the European Green Deal: how can we ask citizens to embrace a radical energy transition when they are struggling just to keep a roof over their heads? The answer emerging from Europe’s most innovative urban laboratories suggests that the solution might lie in a concept that sounds technical but is profoundly social: the positive and clean energy district (PCED). Far from being a ‘green island’ for the elite, these districts are being designed as inclusive, affordable, human‑centric environments that act as a ‘social shield’, specifically engineered to prevent the side effects of previous urban experiments. By integrating housing and mobility into a single, efficient ecosystem, they aim to lower the cost of living and insulate the most vulnerable from the shocks of global energy markets. To understand how this shield functions, one must first change the very definition of innovation. Ruxandra Aelenei, a lecturer in urban mobility at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, argues that the true breakthrough isn’t found in a laboratory, but in a shift in perspective. "From my point of view, innovation doesn't only mean technique or robots or sensors and so on," she explains. "I think what is really innovative is that we understand that mobility is about people.It's not about infrastructure, it's not about vehicles, about cars or bicycles, but it's really about people." This perspective is central to what Aelenei describes as the ‘social side of

Image generated by Gemini We have all felt the frustration of being stuck in traffic. That daily gridlock doesn’t just waste your time; it costs you real money. In 2023, the average American driver lost 42 hours to congestion, costing them an estimated $733 in lost time. So, how do we fix this? The answer is already here. Advanced tech like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and connected-vehicle systems are no longer futuristic concepts. They are actively being used to create smarter, more responsive urban transportation networks. This guide answers the critical questions about how this transformation is happening. What Are the Core Technologies Easing Our Commutes? A few powerful technologies underpin modern traffic management. Understanding how they work together shows you how smart cities are unclogging their roads. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Predictive Analytics Think of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the “brain” of a smart traffic system. It processes enormous amounts of real-time data from sensors, cameras, and GPS to understand and predict traffic flow. These systems can achieve high accuracy in forecasting traffic patterns, allowing cities to prevent gridlock before it even starts. They learn from daily commute patterns and adjust signal timing proactively. A successful deployment in Pittsburgh saw an AI-driven system cut vehicle wait times at intersections by about 40% and reduce citywide emissions by 21%. The Internet of Things (IoT) Sensor Networks If AI is the brain, then the Internet of Things (IoT) is the “nervous system.” This refers to the sizable network of physical sensors embedded in roads, traffic lights, and public vehicles. These sensors continuously collect and transmit information, including vehicle counts, speeds, and intersection queues. This data feeds the AI, giving it a complete, real-time picture of the entire road network. This sector is growing rapidly. According to Precedence

If you believe everything you see, you could easily believe we’re moving into a world where both the connectivity and the intelligence IoT relies upon are undifferentiated propositions. The most appropriate of these resources is selected automatically by an autonomous agent so there’s no need to form an opinion or preference about what your deployment uses. The outcome is that IoT becomes agnostic about connectivity and intelligence. Recent innovations and introductions mean previously convoluted and complex processes for provisioning IoT connectivity and setting up intelligent resources at the edge or in the cloud have been resolved. The careful decisions of the previous decades, assessing connectivity types, providers and contract terms, are about to be replaced by an always-optimised automatic system. That vision means your Cat-1 LTE is as good as your non-terrestrial network (NTN), your low earth orbit (LEO) satellite coverage or your low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology. It also assumes an uninterrupted migration from 4G to 5G to 6G and radically oversimplifies the sophistication of IoT connectivity and intelligence. You didn’t have to scratch the surface market spiel at the show to uncover barely-hidden realities in which multiple technologies will co-exist in an ecosystem composed of different providers who are yet to work out they will interact with each other in the automated world. The clean vision of IoT resources provisioned according to need, through automated commercial agreements, supported by agentic AI, with flexibility assured isn’t really happening. No one really believes one human in a co-working space in Hyderabad or Helsinki is going to be finally responsible for your million-unit deployment with autonomous systems trusted to deliver optimised, secure connectivity whatever the situation. What people at the show believe is that the new SGP.32 specification will make it easier for IoT devices to access connectivity profiles

Today marks World IoT Day, a day organised by the IoT Council where people ‘connected’ (geddit?) with the IoT industry can come together to highlight the milestones, challenges, and emerging trends shaping connected technologies. What is World IoT Day? Established in 2010 by EU projects Ecosystem Manager Rob van Kranenburg, the event turns sweet 16 on 9 April and has grown into a global platform for knowledge-sharing, from informal meetups to online forums. This year’s theme, set by Head of Products and Solutions Europe at Bosch Global Software Technologies, Kai Hackbarth, focuses on the sector’s AI-driven rebirth. “While debates on the ‘death of IoT’ persist, we are seeing a massive rebirth,” Hackbarth says. “Combining AI-driven intelligence at the Edge with a strong framework for data and infrastructure sovereignty allows us to move from simple connectivity to resilient, autonomous systems.” Connectivity Milestone A major focus this year is connectivity. According to the GSMA, the number of active NB-IoT and LTE-M connections surpassed one billion globally at the end of 2025. This reflects more than a decade of collaboration between mobile operators, device manufacturers, and standards bodies, enabling large-scale deployments in sectors such as utilities, transport, logistics, and smart infrastructure. Cyril Deschanel, Group MD Europe & UK at Wireless Logic, says that while connecting devices is no longer the main challenge, managing them across their full lifecycle is now critical: “Devices in smart cities, agriculture, and logistics are expected to operate reliably for ten to fifteen years. Ensuring connectivity remains resilient, secure, and adaptable across this period is key. Decisions made on day one can shape operational costs, security, and reliability for years to come.” He says standards like SGP.32 are playing a growing role, enabling enterprises to manage device connectivity remotely, comply with regional regulations, and localise traffic for data sovereignty.

Integrating Air Quality and Electric Mobility to Improve Urban Life in Latin America April 4, 2026 - Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental threats to human health worldwide. In 2021, it caused 8.1 million deaths, an increase from 7 million recorded in previous studies. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, the infant mortality rate from air pollution is 100 times higher than in high-income countries. Transport, from commuting to freight delivery, is a major source of emissions and air pollution. Poor air quality is one of the main unintended side effects of mobility. Internal combustion engine and non-exhaust emissions, along with other transport-related pollutants, release harmful toxins that damage human and animal health and contribute to global warming. At WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, we work to advance livable, enjoyable and healthy cities worldwide. In Latin America, poor air quality and a high share of polluting vehicles underscore the urgent need for urban interventions that cut emissions. At the same time, cities must ensure that everyone has access to high-quality transport, especially efficient alternatives to private, polluting vehicles. WRI Ross Center funded a project to develop an integrated approach between air quality and electric mobility, using WRI Colombia as a model for other teams in the region. During its development, we met with the WRI Global, Mexico, Colombia and Brasil teams working on air quality and electric mobility to explore synergies and identify potential collaborations. The meeting took place in Bogotá, Colombia, Jan. 27-31, 2025.

Why Edge AI Hardware Requires More Than Just a Lab Simulation to Succeed Emily NewtonEmily Newton The rise of edge artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming everyday devices into smart systems that process data locally for faster, real-time decisions. However, building hardware that works reliably outside the lab requires more than simulations — it demands careful edge AI manufacturing to handle heat, vibration, power limits, and environmental stresses. As industries push for smarter automation, designing field-ready devices has become critical for meeting growing market needs. Edge AI adoption is booming as organizations embrace use cases spanning autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and factory automation. Industry analysts forecast continued growth in the edge AI hardware market, driven by the need for real-time processing and local intelligence. This demand brings a host of challenges that go beyond performance numbers collected under ideal conditions. In controlled lab environments, engineers evaluate an edge AI system’s performance using benchmarks — measuring things like throughput, accuracy, and power draw under predictable conditions. These tests are essential because: Lab tests only capture a fraction of what real-world deployment requires. They assume stable temperature, steady power, and predictable workloads — conditions rarely found outside the engineering bunker. When AI hardware moves into the field, several realities emerge — and these are where lab setups often fall short. High-performance edge AI chips generate significant heat. Advanced AI accelerators enable powerful inference, but higher performance brings greater power consumption and thermal demands that small edge enclosures must manage efficiently. Heat in the real world isn’t constant. It fluctuates with ambient temperature, duty cycle, and workload spikes. A device that cools fine in a 22 °C lab may struggle in a +40 °C warehouse or automotive bay. Prolonged heat cycles can degrade performance or shorten hardware life, issues that simple simulations rarely capture.

The urban monkeys in New Delhi are so bold they’ll steal the lunch right off your plate. If you’ve spent time in New York, you’ve probably seen squirrels try to do the same. Sydney’s white ibises got the nickname “bin chickens” for stealing trash and sandwiches. This brazen behavior isn’t normal for most species in the countryside, yet it shows up in urban wildlife, and not just in these cities. Studies show that animals living in urban environments around the world exhibit common sets of behaviors. At the same time, these urban animals are losing traits they would need in the wild. This process of urban animals’ behavior becoming more similar is known as “behavioral homogenization,” and it accompanies the loss of species diversity with urbanization. We study animals in urban settings to understand how humans can help wildlife thrive in an urbanizing world. In a new study, we explore the causes and the long-term consequences of these behavior changes for urban wildlife. What makes animals in cities similar? Cities, despite their local differences, share many of the same features worldwide: They are warmer than the surrounding countryside, noisy, polluted by light and, most importantly, dominated by people. New York’s squirrels, New Delhi’s monkeys, gulls in coastal cities of the U.K. and other urban wildlife have learned that people are a source of food. And because people typically don’t harm the animals, city-dwelling animals learn not to fear people. Cities drive evolution as well. Humans and the changes we’ve brought to cities have led to the survival of bolder animals, and those bolder animals pass on their traits to future generations. In genetics, scientists refer to this as the environment “selecting” for those traits. It’s not just sandwich-stealing that is more common among city wildlife; urban birds also sound more

Hospitality officials from a dozen cities over the weekend spent time in Indianapolis and Phoenix -- the sites of this year’s men’s and women’s Final Fours respectively -- to “learn the ins and outs” of the events, according to Mickey Shuey of the INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL. Indiana Sports Corp. Chief of Staff Sarah Myer said, “It’s really is a way for us to connect with NCAA staff, to learn the ins and outs of the venues and the fan events, and just be able to hear directly from the host city on the challenges and opportunities in hosting.” Shuey noted four cities hosting future men’s Final Fours had “groups visiting Indianapolis” this year: Atlanta (2031), Dallas (2030), Detroit (2027) and Las Vegas (2028).
