Two metropolises seek common ground through <b>city</b> dialogue
Two metropolises seek common ground through city dialogue By MINGMEI Li in New York | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2026-07-02 07:52 The Our Water Season III: Shanghai-New York City Dialogue launched in New York Bloomberg Tower on Tuesday. Under the theme "Rivers of Opportunities", the forum brought together government representatives, business leaders, financial institutions, consumer brands and cultural figures to explore new opportunities for China-US cooperation, with a special focus on financial and consumer industry collaboration between the two cities. Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomberg Philanthropies, said Shanghai and New York share many defining characteristics as waterfront cities and global centers of commerce and culture. Bloomberg, whose company has operated in Shanghai for more than three decades and who visited China in 2025, said exchanges between cities are more important than ever. "Now the conversation has arrived, and another great waterfront city, and that's something New York shares in common with Shanghai," he said. The former New York mayor said New York and Shanghai are both cultural, commercial and culinary capitals. "Great cities just don't compete with each other. They learn from each other. That kind of exchange between cities has never been more important," he said. Bloomberg noted that more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, placing urban governments at the forefront of addressing challenges ranging from public health and education to housing and climate change. "We borrow ideas from other cities, and we're glad the other cities borrowed from us," he added. Tang Zhiwen, minister at the Chinese Embassy in the United States, said exchanges between Shanghai and New York have become vivid examples of how China and the US can pursue mutual success through cooperation. He said the two cities could take the lead in emerging fields including artificial intelligence, climate
EPA's tougher soot standard upheld in court
Dive Brief: - The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Friday denied a challenge by several states and industry groups to a 2024 Environmental Protection Agency rule revising the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate matter, also known as the “soot standard.” - The EPA last year moved to vacate the stricter 2024 rule, agreeing with the plaintiffs that the agency under the Biden administration had exceeded its authority and failed to consider costs when it initiated the review that led to the revision. - A separate case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in April, in which a coalition of 10 states; the District of Columbia; Harris County, Texas; and New York City sued the EPA for failing to implement the 2024 “soot standard,” remains pending. Dive Insight: The Clean Air Act requires EPA to set air quality standards for fine particulate matter from vehicle exhaust pipes, power plants and factories and to designate areas of the country in violation of those standards. In 2024, the EPA under President Joe Biden set new standards lowering the soot standard from 12 micrograms to 9 micrograms per cubic meter of air by 2032. Republican attorneys general from 24 states and a coalition of industry organizations filed suit in March 2024 arguing the EPA lacked statutory authority to promulgate the new rule and contending it was tainted by impermissible “environmental justice” considerations. In November 2025, the EPA under the Trump administration moved to vacate the rule on the grounds that it exceeded its statutory authority and acted unreasonably by failing to consider costs. “Because these arguments lack merit, we deny the petitions for review and the motion for vacatur,” the June 26 appeals court ruling states. If the EPA ultimately implements
Shanghai, New York hold themed dialogues on urban cooperation
NEW YORK, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese business hub Shanghai and its U.S. counterpart New York recently held a series of dialogues here to bolster exchanges between the two global metropolises. A launch ceremony was held on Tuesday in Manhattan for the third season of "Our Water: Flowing from Shanghai - Intercultural Dialogues among World Cities," followed by a fireside chat and panel discussions on bilateral financial investment and opportunities in consumer markets. Both Shanghai and New York are great waterfront cities and cultural, commercial and culinary capitals, according to former New York mayor and media mogul Michael Bloomberg. "Great cities just don't compete with each other. They learn from each other. And that kind of exchange between cities has never been more important," said Bloomberg at the function. The dialogue promotes sharing ideas, added Bloomberg, who hosted the event on Tuesday. The friendly exchanges and mutual learning between these two cities vividly illustrate how China and the United States can achieve mutual success and shared prosperity, said Tang Zhiwen, minister at the Chinese Embassy in the United States. Shanghai and New York could set a benchmark for mutually beneficial cooperation in China-U.S. economic and trade ties, said Tang in addressing the audience at the ceremony. The two cities could also take the lead in cooperation on emerging frontiers, such as artificial intelligence, climate change and smart cities, and contribute to enriching the substance of a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability, he added. Moreover, scholars, artists and students from the two cities joined a roundtable dialogue at the China Institute of America on how culture, education and technology can enhance mutual understanding. ■

How the Autonomous IoMT Catalyst helps CSPs monetize intelligence
Member Insights Wavelo's Michelle Nowak highlights the important commercial role of service assurance in a Catalyst project focusing on the Internet of Moving Things. How the Autonomous IoMT Catalyst helps CSPs monetize intelligence There's a version of this story that's easy to tell. Drones are proliferating. Autonomous vehicles are being tested on public roads. Delivery robots are navigating city streets. The Internet of Moving Things (IoMT) is here, and it's generating enormous demand for 5G connectivity. But that version of the story misses the harder and more interesting question: What does it actually take to serve a world of moving, autonomous, mission-critical devices – not just to carry their traffic but to orchestrate their operations, guarantee their service levels and build commercially viable offerings around them? That's the question TM Forum’s Phase III Catalyst — Autonomous and Sustainable Moving IoT Ecosystems at Scale was designed to answer. As a participant, Wavelo brought agentic service assurance, a capability that sits at the heart of what makes the latest phase of the project possible. The earlier phases of this Catalyst laid important groundwork, demonstrating that autonomous moving IoT orchestration is technically achievable and that AI can manage connectivity for moving assets in ways that legacy network management could not. Phase II tackled the next logical step: commercialization. Technical proof-of-concept and commercial readiness are very different problems. A capability that works in a controlled demonstration needs to be packageable, priceable, and scalable before it becomes a business. Phase III, which was demonstrated recently at DTW Ignite, was explicitly designed to close that gap by prototyping monetizable service models such as corridor-based licensing, mission-based pricing and AI insights-as-a-service, while also expanding the solution beyond drones to cover autonomous vehicles, delivery bots, robotics and mobile industrial assets across industries including logistics, smart cities, utilities, public

Artificial intelligence optimization model for public safety in <b>smart cities</b> based on multi ...
Abstract The prevalent cross-departmental data barriers and ineffective public safety risk management and control in smart city construction severely restrict governance efficiency. This study takes Hefei as an empirical case and innovatively proposes and validates a “technology-institution-data” ternary collaborative smart city public safety artificial intelligence optimization model. The core contribution lies in constructing a three-layer conceptual framework of “perception-decision-value”, systematically integrating real-time perception driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent decision-making guided by policy adaptation, and public value goals anchored by domain knowledge, effectively bridging the structural disconnection between the technological system and the governance system. This study uses AI technologies such as knowledge graph construction and rule reasoning to preprocess policy data, providing structured input for subsequent statistical modeling and achieving dual verification of technical methods and governance mechanisms. Empirical analysis shows that IoT infrastructure coverage is the foundation, but its effectiveness relies heavily on the transformation hub role of multi-source data collaboration and the dynamic adjustment function of policy adaptability. The study finds that inter-departmental collaboration resistance is the primary inhibitory factor of public safety resilience, and its negative impact far exceeds the positive effect of technology empowerment, highlighting the priority necessity of institutional reform in unleashing technological potential. The study also reveals the spatial heterogeneity pattern of governance efficiency, providing a basis for differentiated collaborative strategies in resource-constrained areas and urban-rural fringe areas. This model provides systematic theoretical support and practical pathways for breaking the dilemma of “emphasizing hardware over collaboration” in smart cities and achieving a transformation from passive defense to active resilience.

LLMs, AI can help solve data handoff problems, optimize building operations: ASHRAE conference
AUSTIN, Texas – The large language models that underlie generative AI offer an opportunity to help everyone involved in buildings — architects, engineers, construction professionals and facility managers — access building systems that converse with one another on optimizing development, maintenance and compliance issues. “It’s time for us to think about not looking at predictive buildings, but more towards conversational buildings,” Nan Ma, assistant professor of architectural engineering at Worcester Polytechnical Institute, said at the ASHRAE annual conference this week. Ma, founding director of the Laboratory for Healthy, Environmental, and Resilient Buildings, or HERB-Lab, at WPI, led a group of global researchers on a Building and Environment study earlier this year that looks at how LLMs can help make sustainable, intelligent and human-centric buildings a reality. “Things like energy use, comfort, occupancy, maintenance logs, control behavior [and] control logics” are the kinds of factors that LLMs could process to enable building systems to better help managers maintain operations better, she said. For example, a building manager, maintenance team or facility manager could ask an LLM why the eastern zone of a building is so hot in the afternoon, and receive an answer based on information that has been logged over years. The LLMs will process previously siloed data on temperature, energy consumption and occupancy patterns, among other things, and then share that information across building systems to produce an answer along with its context, Ma said. The idea of using LLMs to enable building systems to converse with one another solves one of the biggest problems faced by building operators who want to use AI to help them manage their facilities better, what’s known as a “great handoff problem.” The term refers to the separation among sources of data created in a building’s lifecycle and the designs, principles, ideas and
How Swiss <b>cities</b> are stepping up as foreign aid budgets shrink
How Swiss cities are stepping up as foreign aid budgets shrink Local governments in Europe are defying state cuts to development assistance and helping cities in lower-income regions tackle common challenges like climate change. Such efforts are mutually beneficial, cities like Zurich insist. Every day, the Nuevo Abasto wholesale market in Bolivia’s biggest city delivers up to 13,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables to merchants, restaurants and families – and leaves the municipality dealing with 20 tonnes of organic waste. The market is a vital resource for the people of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, one of the fastest-growing metropolises in the Americas. It’s also an example of how cities across the world can learn from each other’s experiences in coping with common problems. The Swiss city of Zurich has provided the Nuevo Abasto market with funds and expertise to set up giant compost bins that produce fertiliser from rotting vegetables. It’s also assisting with Santa Cruz’s plans to create a system for collecting organic waste across the city. Switzerland’s largest municipality is among a growing number of local and regional authorities in rich countries that are defying their national governments’ cuts to foreign aid and directly maintaining or expanding development programmes of their own. Together, their contribution to international assistance jumped nearly 40% after 2015, reaching $2.8 billion (CHF2.8 billion) in 2021 across 11 donor nations, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) latest available dataExternal link. It’s not just money. Rich cities’ experiences in dealing with problems of growth mean they can be uniquely placed to aid sustainable development, especially in urban communities of the world’s low- and middle-income regions. “Cities are laboratories for innovation – we are simply forced to find concrete solutions for the people,” said Christina Wandeler, head of international relations at
Most Israeli public services are digital, new report reveals | The Jerusalem Post
Almost 65% of all public services provided by Israel's state agencies are digitized, while 116 that should have been digitized by law are still pending implementation, a new report by the National Digital Network revealed on Tuesday. The report, submitted to the Knesset, mapped the 4,562 public services in Israel provided by government ministries, support units, corporations, and authorities. The report notes that while more than half of the services are available in digital format, much work remains to be done on digital accessibility. Some of the most common services currently digitized are renewing a driver's license, applying for an identity card, obtaining a disability certificate, and registering for daycare. Additionally, 138 of the services still pending full digitalization are accessible via email. Almost 30% of Israel's local authorities applied for help with digitalization According to the report, 70 local authorities, representing 27% of all local authorities in Israel, asked the National Digital Network for help with digitizing their services. More than half of them are from low socioeconomic clusters, and about 30% are authorities from the non-Jewish sector, the network revealed. Additionally, the report noted that 1,940 services are for physical residents, 1,721 are intended for businesses or organizations only, and 889 are combined services intended for both citizens and businesses or organizations.
Building a livable Dong Nai <b>City</b>
The milestone marks a historic turning point, opening up a golden opportunity for Dong Nai to restructure its urban space toward a greener, cleaner and more sustainable model while significantly improving residents' quality of life. Creating momentum to develop a modern urban network The upgrade to Class I urban status and Dong Nai's emergence as one of Vietnam's seven cities bring substantial advantages to the locality. Most importantly, the city will enjoy greater autonomy in urban planning and investment. It will have broader authority to formulate and adjust its master plans while attracting larger infrastructure investment from the central government and strategic investors. Located at the gateway to the Southeast region and bordering Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai is home to Long Thanh International Airport, one of Vietnam's most important national infrastructure projects. The upgrade is expected to drive the formation of a modern urban network closely integrated with the Southern Key Economic Region. | The new master plan prioritizes the development of green corridors along the Dong Nai River and eco-friendly riverside urban areas. Photo: Cong Nghia | The city's greatest opportunity lies in developing it into a green and ecological city. Dong Nai retains abundant natural assets, including an extensive river system (Dong Nai, Be and La Nga rivers) along with Tri An Lake, Cat Tien National Park, Chua Chan Mountain and Nui Le Lake. Newly established wards such as Binh Loc, Hang Gon, Dau Giay, Tan Phu, Tan Trieu, Tri An, Loc Ninh and Tan Khai all could evolve into ecological urban areas within a broader eco-city. These natural advantages provide a valuable foundation for developing a city that exists in harmony with nature, rather than allowing nature to be consumed by urbanization. Under the new master plan, Dong Nai will also prioritize the development of
