UCC seeks US$15m to launch Trelawny 'smart city’, invites six universities as partners Loading article... The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) aims to raise US$15 million to complete land acquisition for EcoVista, a 283-acre development in Trelawny. The plan involves building a university-anchored smart city. UCC plans to invite up to six international universities to join as academic partners. "EcoVista is not simply a real estate concept. It is an integrated future city proposition anchored by education, sustainability, smart infrastructure, and long-term national development logic. It attempts to solve more than one problem simultaneously," said Dr Winston Adams, founder and group executive chairman of UCC, in an international release seen by the Financial Gleaner. Construction on EcoVista is phased through to 2038. Adams stated that the market, the technology, and the regional need have now overlapped. “That convergence is not accidental, and it will not wait," Adams added. The project combines a campus designed for more than 5,000 students with four planned innovation districts — financial technology, health technology, a business incubator for artificial intelligence (AI), and business process outsourcing firms. It also envisages a resort district with 710 hotel rooms and 150 overwater villas. The site, on 1,200 metres of beachfront property 40 minutes from Montego Bay's international airport, is being acquired at 40 per cent below its 2024 appraised value of US$52.8 million, creating US$21 million in built-in equity before construction begins, according to the release. Total development cost is projected at US$513 million against forecast revenue of US$2.04 billion across all phases. UCC says it carries zero institutional debt and holds more than US$20 million in net assets, acting as project guarantor. The development has circulated under various names since at least 2024, when it was marketed to investors online as an eco-city offering equity shares,

Originally designed by Martha Krempel for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, The Composer’s Cabin brings the sights and sounds of peatland landscapes into one of the UK’s busiest transport hubs. Complete with immersive planting, peatland samples and a self-playing piano, the installation encourages visitors to reflect on the relationship between nature, infrastructure and climate resilience. While the cabin highlights the importance of peatlands as one of the world’s largest terrestrial carbon stores, the conversation quickly broadens to a bigger question: what role can nature play in helping cities and critical infrastructure adapt to a changing climate? Speaking on the podcast, Sam explains how rail operators are increasingly grappling with the impacts of extreme heat, flooding and interconnected infrastructure risks. He argues that nature-based solutions must sit alongside traditional engineering approaches, pointing to examples such as balancing ponds and urban green spaces that can help manage flood risk, cool cities and support biodiversity. The discussion also explores how public spaces can become powerful platforms for climate education. With millions of passengers passing through St Pancras every year, Sam believes transport hubs have a unique opportunity to raise awareness of environmental challenges while ensuring sustainability

Ahead of the European Council meeting on 18-19 June 2026, the Local Alliance sent a joint letter to national leaders calling for the next EU budget to better support cities, regions and municipalities in delivering Europe’s priorities. Signed by Eurocities and other major local and regional government networks, and supported by more than 50 municipalities, regions, provinces, associations and agencies, the letter underlines that EU investment works best when local governments are recognised as key partners in turning European ambitions into visible results for people. The letter urges national leaders to back the European Parliament’s position for a place-based Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The Local Alliance calls on EU leaders to: - Make the next EU budget place-based, so it reflects the needs and priorities of Europe’s cities, regions and municipalities. - Strengthen multilevel governance, by ensuring local and regional governments are directly involved in designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating EU-funded plans. - Back the European Parliament’s position on the next MFF, including clearer budget allocations for Cohesion Policy, ERDF, ESF, LIFE and other key programmes. - Ensure final beneficiaries are not punished if EU funds are suspended to member states over rule of law concerns. - Include mandatory regional and territorial chapters in National and Regional Partnership Plans, so all territories can benefit from EU investment. - Protect dedicated funding for integrated territorial and urban development, including a minimum ERDF share for local strategies. - Strengthen the administrative capacity of local and regional governments, including through technical assistance, to improve delivery and absorption of EU funds. - Recognise cities, regions and municipalities as eligible beneficiaries and implementation partners in the future European Competitiveness Fund. - Connect territorial innovation tools to the Competitiveness Fund, including smart specialisation strategies, local innovation ecosystems and EU Mission projects. - Safeguard Coordination and Support

Michael T. Pugh is president and CEO of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, one of the country’s largest community development organizations. In 2024, more than 21 million homeowners were severely cost-burdened, spending over half their income to stay housed. Across the country, families are being squeezed by rising insurance premiums, property taxes and the growing cost of basic repairs. We talk about this as a housing shortage, and it is. But that framing misses a critical truth: We are not just short on housing. We are actively losing the affordable homes we already have. And we are losing them faster than we can replace them. The national conversation tends to focus on one solution: build more housing. Clearly, we do need more housing, but that's not the only issue. While we debate how to build faster, millions of homeowners are quietly slipping into instability — not because they can’t pay their mortgage, but because they can’t fix a roof, or a furnace breaks, or a title was never formally transferred. For many families, especially in under-resourced communities, the margin between stability and displacement is razor thin. A single unexpected cost can trigger a chain reaction, deferred maintenance, code violations and rising debt, which ultimately results in the loss of a home that may have been stable and affordable for decades. Once that home is gone, it is rarely replaced at a price the next family can afford. This is the hidden engine of the housing crisis, the steady erosion of existing affordable homeownership. Heirs’ property compounds this challenge. Homes passed down informally across generations, often one of the only pathways to wealth, can become legally vulnerable. Without a clear title, families are locked out of financing and disaster relief and exposed to forced sales that strip generational assets from communities.

Dive Brief: - An upzoning proposal in Rockville, Maryland, that would allow townhomes, duplexes, triplexes and cottage homes to be built by right without requiring discretionary approval would increase the city’s housing supply without hurting existing home prices or surrounding property values, according to a local Realtors’ association study. - The new zoning would lead to a net increase of 21 housing units over the next decade, a modest 4.5% increase in the city’s housing stock, says the study by real estate consulting firm HR&A Advisors, which was commissioned by the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors. It would also expand homeownership opportunities to an additional 28% of residents, the study says. - The proposal comes as the city is updating its nearly 20-year-old zoning ordinance to align it with its 2040 comprehensive plan. Dive Insight: As cities and counties look to address the housing affordability crisis, some are turning to “missing middle” housing such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes or small multifamily homes. Construction of those housing types is often blocked by restrictive zoning ordinances that favor single-family homes or larger apartment buildings. A 2016 analysis found that 10,000 Rockville households were cost burdened, with 53% of renters and 29% of homeowners spending 30% or more of their income on housing . The city needs to add 10,000 housing units by 2040 to meet future demand, according to the 2016 report. Rockville staff members last year asked GCAAR for its input on the potential changes to its zoning ordinance. The study found the new zoning would potentially lead to 55 single-family home conversions into multifamily dwellings. The median single-family home value in Rockville is $1.05 million, according to the study. Condos resulting from the zoning change would have a projected median value of $570,000, which would lead to increased

As megacities confront congestion, sustainability, and demographic change, Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. is leveraging railway efficiency, transit-oriented development, and operational expertise to strengthen Tokyo’s smart city model while pursuing long-term international expansion. Today I would like to take the time to discuss several important themes in depth. To start, I would like to talk about the strengths of Japanese railway operating companies. In many Western metro systems, the emphasis tends to be on public ownership, and in many cases the systems are operated by government organizations or heavily supported by public subsidies. Historically, however, railway operators in Japan have developed a vertically integrated model. From your perspective, how would you describe the strengths of Japanese railway operators, and how does the Japanese model compare with those in Europe or the United States? One very important difference is the population density of cities. I believe that globally there are very few cities that can operate railways profitably without subsidies, and most of those examples are in Asia. For a railway system to be profitable, the city needs to have a certain level of population density. However, I’m not sure if railways in which can operate independently are sufficient. To illustrate this point, imagine a Japanese city with a population of around five hundred thousand people. Cities such as Kanazawa or Kagoshima fall into that category. Kagoshima has a tram system, but it does not have a subway network like those found in larger metropolitan areas. However, if you look at Europe, many cities of roughly five hundred thousand people have both a subway system and a surrounding tram network that together form a well-developed public transportation structure. In Japan, urban railways tend to exist primarily in cities where they can operate independently and sustain themselves financially. In Europe, on the other

Dive Brief: - Los Angeles has tapped Verra Mobility to design, build, operate and maintain speed safety systems at 125 locations in the city, creating the largest speed camera program in the state, the company announced Monday. - From 2017 to 2021, 16% of all fatal and severe crashes in Los Angeles were due to unsafe speed, according to a January 2026 LA Department of Transportation report. Speeding was responsible for 4% of pedestrian fatalities and 21% of bicyclist deaths, the report states. - A 2023 state law authorized Los Angeles, as well as San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach, and the city and county of San Francisco, to deploy automated speed safety cameras under a pilot program. Dive Insight: Speed safety cameras have been proven to reduce speeds and collisions. At 15 sites in San Francisco, speeding declined by an average of 72% within the first six months after safety cameras were installed, the Municipal Transportation Agency found. In Philadelphia, cameras cut speeding violations by 95% on a major corridor since 2020. Verra Mobility provided both those installations. “These programs are highly effective at reducing dangerous driving,” Verra Mobility Vice President Will Barnow said in a statement. LA’s speed safety camera locations were chosen using traffic safety data, including information on speeding behavior and crash history, according to Verra Mobility. At many of these sites, multiple cameras will be installed to help reduce speeding in both directions and encourage safer driving habits throughout the community, the company said in a news release. To ensure privacy and security, the cameras record only still images and license plate information and do not perform facial recognition. Confidential data will not be shared with local, state or federal law enforcement unless compelled by a court order, Verra Mobility said. Nationally, speeding accounted for

Berg Insight forecasts that the installed base of water AMI endpoints in Europe and North America will nearly double between 2025 and 2031. The figures point to a shift from mobile meter reading toward fixed-network water metering architectures. For water utilities, the metering question is increasingly less about whether a meter can communicate and more about how often, through which network, and with what operational consequences. Drive-by and walk-by readings can digitize billing, but they do not provide the same infrastructure for continuous monitoring, leakage detection or near-real-time operational data. That distinction is central to new market data from Berg Insight, which estimates that Europe and North America had a combined 79.1 million water AMI endpoints installed at the end of 2025. The research firm expects that figure to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.8 percent, reaching 154.5 million endpoints in 2031. The broader installed base of communicating utility water meters, including both AMI and AMR, is forecast to rise from 190.1 million units in 2025 to 249.2 million units in 2031. AMR refers to meters read through mobile operations such as drive-by or walk-by collection, while AMI relies on fixed network communications and supports a more IoT-oriented operating model. Why the AMI share matters The most revealing point in the forecast is not simply the headline growth figure. Based on Berg Insight’s numbers, AMI represented about 42 percent of communicating water meters across the two regions in 2025. By 2031, it would account for roughly 62 percent. That implies a structural shift in the installed base: utilities are not just adding connected meters, they are moving a larger share of the market toward fixed-network infrastructure. This is what makes the announcement distinct from a typical smart metering market update. It separates general meter communications from true

It’s 5 p.m. Do you know where your city vehicles are? Increasingly detailed equipment tracking and monitoring technology wants to make that question a thing of the past for local governments. Samsara brought together public-sector leaders in Chicago on May 12 to learn about its suite of asset tracking and monitoring products, which are as simple as a Bluetooth-powered tag on an excavator or as intricate as an AI-enabled dashcam that sends an alert if a city staffer yawns behind the wheel. When New Orleans Operations Chief of Staff Shelita White began overseeing the city’s fleet around three years ago, she asked for a list of the city’s roughly 2,600 assets and was presented with a stack of papers on her desk, she said during a panel on modernizing state and local emergency response. “It was unnerving to me to know that we had 2,600 assets and we have no idea where they are,” White said. The city has since entered around 1,800 of its fleet assets into a real-time tracking system and is on pace to add the rest of its fleet by the end of this year, White said. “Being able to locate our assets is a very, very big deal,” White said. “It's something that the public wants to know. We get a lot of public records requests … We cannot give them a stack of papers. We cannot give them someone's Excel [spreadsheet] from two years ago that has something that is expired.” Such digital systems can now estimate how much gas is in each vehicle’s tank and whether any maintenance checks are pending, due or needed, said Andrew Morgan, who manages fleet operations for the Texas Department of Public Safety. That information can be critical when preparing for emergency situations like flooding, he said. “We
