KOCHI: With the tenure of the Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML) having ended this year, Kochi corporation is set to discuss an alternative implementation mechanism for the ‘Complete Smart City’ project proposed in the 2026-27 budget. The govt had allocated Rs 20 crore for the preparation of the project document and the initial activities. “The CSML was a special purpose vehicle (SPV) constituted for the implementation of several development projects in the city. With the tenure ending, the projects have been handed over to Kochi corporation. The council will discuss an alternative to carry out the projects, including the maintenance of roads, streetlights, parks, etc.,” said M G Aristottil, a member of the corporation’s finance standing committee. The council will take up the matter in its meeting scheduled for Monday. “The issue of adopting an alternative mechanism suitable to the current situation for the effective implementation of the ‘Complete Smart City’ project announced in the budget is brought to the notice of the council for its information and consideration,” stated the agenda. It has also suggested designating Kochi corporation as the nodal agency for the implementation of the project, establishing a separate project management unit (PMU). This will include experts in the fields of urban planning, engineering, finance, and information technology, with the assistance of KITCO, KILA, Kerala State IT Mission, or similar government technical agencies for the preparation of a detailed project report (DPR) and in other technical matters. Besides, a steering committee is suggested to be formed with the mayor as chairperson and the secretary as convener to oversee and coordinate the project. Henry Austin, councillor of the Vaduthala East division, said the CSML will continue to function to carry out the ongoing projects. “For several projects, the operations and maintenance agreement is between the CSML and the

At the end of April this year, it was reported that around 10,000 enhanced closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras had been installed across the city of Kuala Lumpur, each intended to support law enforcement in tackling crime rates and ensuring public safety. The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered camera network, in development since 2020 and costing RM500mil to operate, has already shown results, with Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail saying in a June report that it has assisted police in solving cases and carrying out their duties. Such cameras are strategically placed throughout the city, specifically targeting high-activity areas, including intersections, major roads, commercial centres, and public areas. According to Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus in the April report, the system has increased efficiency in tackling crime by about 50%. He adds in a separate April report that the system’s implementation has led to a decrease in street crime in 2025, resulting in a 57.6% decrease in snatch thefts – from 368 in 2024 down to 156 in 2025. Adding AI to CCTV cameras reportedly allows them to detect actions in real time and the ability to function as a geofence, creating a virtual perimeter around a specific area in the city. This allows authorities to monitor activity within the zone, track movements, and detect persons or vehicles of interest in real time. The system also comes with facial recognition features, the ability to analyse behaviour and identify suspicious movement, and can detect early signs of incidents, such as floods, accidents, emergencies and traffic disruptions. All of this is then monitored at the Kuala Lumpur Command and Control Centre (KLCCC), which will be automatically alerted by the system if any potential incidents are detected. From there, the KLCCC will coordinate responses between various agencies, such as emergency

Latest Headlines NEW ENUGU SMART CITY: BEYOND TECHNOLOGY The smart city may set a new benchmark for disciplined planning and sustainable urban development, argues PAT ONUKWULI Urban civilisation is measured less by imposing buildings than by the quality of life a city sustains. Cities prosper when growth, technology and investment are balanced with sound planning, environmental responsibility and social inclusion. New Enugu Smart City therefore deserves national attention as an opportunity to establish a better model of urban development in Nigeria. Over the past five decades, Nigeria has produced very few genuinely planned cities. Abuja remains the country’s foremost example of a city conceived and built largely from the ground up, primarily to decongest Lagos and provide a purpose-built Federal Capital. Its original master plan was one of Africa’s most ambitious urban planning exercises, carefully integrating residential, commercial, institutional and recreational districts with supporting infrastructure. Abuja, however, also offers an important lesson. Repeated alterations to the master plan, inconsistent development control and an increasing number of planning exceptions have gradually weakened many of its founding principles. The result is mounting congestion, growing pressure on infrastructure and development patterns that increasingly resemble the urban problems the city was designed to avoid. The lesson is not that master plans fail, but that they cease to protect cities when cities cease to protect them. Most generations inherit cities they did not build and leave behind cities they will never fully inhabit. Urban leadership is therefore judged not only by completed projects but also by the institutions, standards and public spaces preserved for those who follow. The true measure of development lies as much in what endures as in what is delivered. That is why New Enugu Smart City should matter. It could offer an opportunity to demonstrate that disciplined planning can withstand political

Smart Cities: Mission Accomplished Or Promise Unfulfilled? The monsoon season is the best time to gauge a city. You instantly get a complete picture — the good, the bad and the ugly. If you are in Mumbai, you get a taste of all three, from poor housekeeping to infrastructure deficits. Come to think of it, only some parts of Mumbai — Marine Drive, Peddar Road and Nepean Sea Road — are clean as a whistle. The rest of the city is an eyesore: dirty, filthy, strewn with garbage, accompanied by a constant stench and perennial waterlogging in several pockets. Not to mention the open gutters. Slums, which occupy nearly 24% of Mumbai's land area, house more than 50% of its population. For years, successive chief ministers of Maharashtra promised to transform Mumbai into another Shanghai. We are still light-years away from Shanghai. Mumbai is deteriorating and degenerating on almost every front. Every time a plane lands or takes off, the aerial view is depressing — endless stretches of blue plastic sheets covering slum settlements. It is certainly not a pretty picture. Greening the Future 23 Jul 2026 - Vol 05 | Issue 30 Securing a sustainable India The international media loves such images — anything that portrays India in a poor light. If the country's so-called financial capital continues to deteriorate and hit new lows every year, what must the situation be like in other Indian cities? More importantly, how successful has PM Narendra Modi's Smart Cities Mission been? When PM Modi announced the scheme, it dominated front pages for months. But over time, it appeared to peter out and virtually disappeared from the media's radar. So, I did a bit of digging and discovered that the government has actually covered considerable ground. It even released a detailed note marking

Illustration: Xia Qing/GT Scrolling through socialâmedia travel content this summer, I recently stumbled upon a "futuristic city" video. The second I clicked on it, two brand-new cities popped up side by side. One is Xiong'an New Area in North China, where self-driving cars glide through neighborhoods on the North China Plain, with smart traffic lights that seem to think for themselves. The other is Egypt's New Capital - a dazzling skyline of glass towers rising from the endless desert sands, resembling a sciâfi vision brought to realâlife reality. Neither location held inherent naturalâresource advantages. Xiong'an emerged from quiet, unremarkable farmland with no major rivers or coastline. Egypt's New Capital rose from windswept sands of the North African desert. Over seven thousand kilometers apart, these two radically different places are proving the same powerful point: The urban blueprints for futureâoriented cities are increasingly being written from entirely blank land, rather than upgrading overâburdened historic metropolitan centers. The driving pressures behind both projects stem from identical longâstanding urbanâdilemmas troubling their respective capital hubs. Xiong'an New Area is designed to relieve functions that are non-essential to Beijing's role as the national capital and advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Egypt's New Capital is created specifically to relieve Cairo's crippling congestion and overcrowding and boost economic development. To break ageâold urban pitfalls, China started from scratch to build a city on the vast, empty North China Plain, while Egypt began rising one from the dunes of the Sahara, as a core pillar of Egypt Vision 2030. Almost in perfect sync, the two countries launched parallel experiments in building the cities of tomorrow. Just nine years ago, Xiong'an was nothing but endless farmland. Today, it has rapidly matured into a threeâtiered city framework comprising aboveâground living spaces, underground utility tunnels, and a cloudâbased

Germany LED Street Light Drivers Market 2026 Analysis and Forecast to 2035 Executive Summary Key Findings - Germany’s LED street light driver market is structurally import-dependent, with domestic assembly and design capabilities concentrated among a small number of mid-sized electronics specialists; over 60-70% of driver modules by value are sourced from supply chains in East Asia, primarily China and Taiwan. - Replacement-driven demand accounts for an estimated 55-65% of annual unit shipments, as German municipalities accelerate the retrofit of legacy high-pressure sodium and metal-halide luminaires to LED systems under energy-efficiency mandates and carbon-neutrality targets for public lighting. - Price pressure is intensifying: standard-grade constant-current drivers for 50-100 W luminaires have seen average procurement prices decline by 15-25% since 2021, though premium programmable drivers with DALI-2 or Zhaga-D4i compliance command a 40-60% price premium and are gaining share in new installations. Market Trends - Smart-city integration is reshaping driver specifications: demand for networked, addressable drivers with power-line communication or wireless interfaces (NB-IoT, LoRaWAN) is growing at an estimated 12-18% annually, driven by municipal tenders requiring remote dimming and fault monitoring. - Energy cost sensitivity is accelerating the shift toward higher-efficiency drivers: German electricity prices for public lighting operators rose by approximately 30-40% between 2021 and 2025, making every percentage point of driver efficiency economically significant over a 10-15 year luminaire lifespan. - Supply chain diversification is emerging as a strategic priority: German distributors and OEMs are increasingly qualifying driver suppliers from Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic) and Turkey to reduce lead-time risk and logistics exposure from Asia, though volumes remain below 15-20% of total supply. Key Challenges - Component availability and lead-time volatility persist for specialized power semiconductors and electrolytic capacitors rated for extended lifetimes (100,000+ hours at high ambient temperatures), causing intermittent supply bottlenecks that delay municipal lighting

AI is increasingly becoming a powerful tool for building smart cities in Vietnam by supporting the development of integrated shared data warehouses, digital platforms, security monitoring, and the automation of public administrative services. In particular, the Law on Artificial Intelligence (Law No. 134/2025/QH15), passed by the National Assembly on December 10, 2025, has established a comprehensive legal framework for the research, development, provision, deployment, and use of this technology. In its smart city development plan, Can Tho City has identified AI as a tool and innovation as the driving force for sustainable development. At the recent symposium on "Smart City Development in Can Tho," experts presented several key solutions for the city to effectively unlock this potential. According to Dr. Christopher Han, Director of Innovation Strategy at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, for AI to maximize its power at optimal cost and scale, the system requires high-quality data and must be deployed through a rigorous process. This process requires human-centered design, starting with discovering the right problem, conducting in-depth research, iterative design, and finally scaling up. “The ultimate goal of using technology is to serve humanity. Understanding the real-world challenges of the community is the solid foundation for leveraging AI to create groundbreaking and sustainable solutions,” emphasized Dr. Christopher Han. In the context of the rapid development of digital technology and AI, humanity faces a major challenge in mastering technology. According to Dr. Manfredo Manfredini of the University of Auckland (New Zealand), the gap between the superior processing power of AI systems and the ability of humans to utilize them is becoming increasingly apparent. This requires urban managers and education systems to quickly change their mindset: It's not enough to simply train users to passively use the technology; instead, focus must be placed on enhancing their ability
