Gdańsk, 26 June 2026 Local and regional leaders have welcomed the results of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 as demonstrating growing recognition of the critical role that regions and cities will play in Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery. They also pointed to a growing sense that solidarity with Ukraine is entering a new phase, with more attention to building long-term resilience and win-win partnerships. The Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC), which ended on 26 June in Gdańsk, was held less than a fortnight after the EU and Ukraine opened the first negotiations on reforms required for membership of the EU. The conclusions of the Ukraine Recovery Conference, an annual gathering created to support Ukraine following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, broadly reflect calls made by the European Alliance of Cities and Regions for the Reconstruction of Ukraine. These include recognition of the importance of municipalities and regions to Ukraine’s resilience, of the potential offered by cooperation between regions, and of the need for stronger coordination with local and regional authorities, as well as recognition that regional policy and good governance will be critical to Ukraine’s development. The discussions in Gdańsk heard repeated calls for substantial capacity building and material support for local and regional authorities. Speaking on behalf of the Alliance, Antje Grotheer (DE/PES), president of Bremen State Parliament and chair of the European Committee of the Regions Working Group on Ukraine, said: “We need to help mayors, because they are the ones who are in charge of so many critical services. People do not complain to the national government if there is no energy, if there is no heating; people complain at the local level. The achievements of Ukraine’s mayors in the past four years are remarkable. We in the EU have much to learn from them – and we should

Dive Brief: - The U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision on Thursday struck down a Hawai'i law prohibiting guns on public-facing private property unless owners say they’re permitted. As a result of the decision, owners of stores, restaurants and other types of public-facing private property that want to prohibit guns must communicate that. It’s no longer the case that guns are prohibited by default. - The Wolford v. Lopez decision applies to Hawai'i, but it puts at risk similar laws in other states, including California, Maryland and New Jersey. - The decision follows a federal appeals court decision in May that struck down a similar law in New York. The Supreme Court action makes it less likely New York will look to the top court to reverse the appeals court decision. Dive Insight: Hawai'i is one of several states that enacted so-called vampire rules after the Supreme Court in 2022 shot down New York’s concealed carry ban in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In folklore, a vampire can’t enter a home without the owner’s permission. Under the state laws that were passed, a person carrying a gun can’t enter a public-facing private property without the owner’s permission. In writing the majority opinion for the court, Associate Justice Samuel Alito said the issue isn’t property owners’ right to keep guns off their property if they want; they have that as a property right under common law. The issue instead is making property owners choose between allowing guns, if that’s their preference, and risking the loss of business of people who oppose that by having to post a sign or otherwise communicate that guns are permitted. “Proprietors who do not object to entry by carry-permit holders may be reluctant to post welcoming signs for fear of alienating customers,”

Dive Brief: - This spring, the Utah Transit Authority debuted a new bus rapid transit route and began construction on a streetcar line extension, as it reported stronger transit ridership. - The seven-mile-long Midvalley Express bus rapid transit route began on April 12, making it the third BRT route in the UTA system. Construction to extend its S-Line streetcar line to a new station began on May 20. The extension will serve the Sugar House business district and the University of Utah health center. - UTA reported it saw more than 40.3 million boardings across bus, rail, light rail, streetcar, vanpool, paratransit and microtransit services in 2025. Bus ridership has nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, the transit agency said. Dive Insight: Some 150 miles of new fixed-guideway transit lines are expected to open across North America this year, including 13 projects in the U.S. To date, Los Angeles has opened a nearly 4-mile extension of one of its subway lines; Seattle opened the final 7-mile segment of its light rail line across Lake Washington; Kansas City, Missouri, extended its streetcar line to the city’s riverfront; and Atlanta opened that metro area’s first bus rapid transit line. The all-electric Midvalley Express BRT line “connects local destinations and planned developments” with the transit hub on the Taylorsville campus of Salt Lake Community College, UTA said. UTA’s two-mile-long S-Line streetcar, which runs alongside a bike and pedestrian greenway, has been in operation since 2013. It links residential and commercial areas and connects with UTA’s TRAX light rail system and transit bus lines. UTA said it expects to complete the extension by fall 2027. “As Utah continues to grow, we’re focused on expanding access, improving frequency, and investing in modern infrastructure,” UTA Executive Director Jay Fox said in a statement. “We’re proud of the

Sustainable futures Developing sustainable cities and communities Understanding how to measure and guide sustainable urban growth is becoming increasingly important as cities evolve and expand. As centres of economic activity and innovation, cities have a unique opportunity to balance industrial development with environmental responsibility and social wellbeing. ESG principles offer a valuable framework for achieving this, extending beyond corporate use to inform more holistic, data-driven decision-making at city level. This research embraces that opportunity, transforming ESG from a high-level concept into a practical, measurable tool to support Ningbo’s journey towards a more sustainable and resilient future. How do you measure the sustainability of a city that is constantly evolving, economically, socially and environmentally? For Ningbo, one of China’s fastest growing and most dynamic urban centres, this question sits at the heart of its future. As global pressure mounts to deliver low-carbon, resilient and inclusive growth, cities like Ningbo must find new ways to balance industrial strength with environmental responsibility and social wellbeing. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles offer part of the answer. Widely used in the corporate world, they provide a framework for assessing performance beyond traditional economic metrics. But at city level, applying ESG in a meaningful, measurable way remains a challenge. This research sets out to change concept into a practical tool for urban transformation. A city-focused approach to ESG innovation Commissioned by the Ningbo Municipal Development and Reform Commission, this flagship carbon peaking and independent research project was led by Professor Jing Dai, Chair Professor in Sustainable Operations and Technology Management at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. Working at the intersection of policy, data and sustainability science, the team developed a bespoke ESG evaluation framework designed specifically for Ningbo. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all model, the research reflects the city’s unique identity, from its position

Vibrant business climate, industrial clusters propel "city of future" into innovation powerhouse SHIJIAZHUANG, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Artificial intelligence (AI), digital technology, biotechnology and low-altitude economy are among an array of cutting-edge technologies spanning diverse fields that help animate a major industrial park in the Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province. The Xiong'an New Area, located about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, was established on April 1, 2017, to relieve Beijing of non-essential functions related to its status as the nation's capital. The emerging modern city is now positioned to become a pioneering innovation hub and a model of promoting high-quality development. Wang Shiyuan, president of Victory Traffic Science and Technology Co., Ltd., believes he made the right decision by relocating his company to the new area in 2020. Having sold smart traffic signal systems and other intelligent transportation products to over 10 countries worldwide, including the United States, Germany and Mexico, the entrepreneur said the Xiong'an New Area itself serves as a powerful calling card for his business. "Last year, I took my clients from Central Asian countries to the new area, as they were all aware of its high national standing," he said. "When they learned that my company's products had already been deployed in Xiong'an, they immediately gained greater confidence in our technology." The appeal of Xiong'an, however, goes even further. According to Wang, the industrial cluster effect in the new area has helped his company reduce costs by 15 percent, as Xiong'an has brought together a host of enterprises in electronic information, intelligent transportation and AI. "Whenever I need something, such as a software upgrade, I simply post the request in an online chat group that connects several hundred firms in the new area's Zhongguancun Science Park," he said.

What AI is changing is not buildings, but the way cities move. The real estate industry is also changing rapidly following the generative AI craze. However, the direction of this change differs slightly from expectations. This is because AI is evolving beyond simply summarizing contracts or handling consultations, moving toward a direction that connects spaces, people, and data into a single operating system. In its recently released report , "Where AI is Creating Real Value in Real Estate," global consulting firm McKinsey assessed that the use of AI in the real estate industry is reaching a full-scale turning point. The report did not find the true value of AI in document creation or the automation of repetitive tasks. Instead, it argues that the core role of AI is to redesign operational methods by connecting previously fragmented tasks—such as lease advisory, facility operations, investment analysis, and asset management—into a single workflow. McKinsey projected that these changes could generate economic value of up to $430 billion to $550 billion across the entire real estate value chain. Ultimately, this means that the competitiveness of the real estate industry in the AI era depends not on adding more features, but on how naturally data is connected and operations are optimized. AI Beyond the Lab… The Entire City Becomes a Platform This kind of change is also evident in future city projects currently underway in Japan. The "City within a City" project, spearheaded by the National Science Tokyo Institute, integrates research facilities with residential, commercial, medical, and mobility spaces into a single environment, transforming the actual living environment itself into a testing ground for technology. While existing smart cities focused on introducing technology into the city, this project differs in that it designed the city itself as a massive Living Lab. It created a structure

In a commentary, SMU President Professor Lily Kong reflects on discussions at the recent World Cities Summit (WCS) and argues that the future belongs not only to smart cities, but to wise ones. While AI, predictive analytics and data-rich systems can help cities become more efficient and responsive, Prof Kong cautions that cities are not experienced cognitively alone, but also through memory, attachment, beauty, belonging and trust. She defines the wise city as one that uses technology to inform judgment and asks who is served, who may be left behind, and what kind of society is being built for the long term. She also highlights the need for cities to plan for future populations, preserve social trust and community resilience, and move from sustainability towards deeper stewardship.

FAU I-SENSE Evolves to Reflect Decade of Impact Across Cities, Spaces by Gisele Galoustian | Thursday, Jun 25, 2026After more than a decade of advancing sensing technologies and intelligent systems, Florida Atlantic University’s Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE) is evolving its identity. As part of its continued evolution, I-SENSE will be renamed I-SENSE: The Institute for Smarter Cities, Spaces, and Health. The new name captures the breadth of the institute’s real-world impact, while its core mission remains unchanged. Since its founding in 2015, I-SENSE researchers have developed tools and systems that help communities, industries and organizations better understand and respond to the world around them. The institute has worked alongside academia, industry and government partners to address challenges ranging from coastal resilience and public infrastructure to healthcare and national security. “This new identity is not a change in our mission,” said Jason Hallstrom, Ph.D., executive director of I-SENSE. “It is a more precise articulation of the work we have always done. Our researchers develop technologies that help people understand complex environments, make informed decisions and solve real-world problems. The new name reflects the places where that impact is most visible today.” I-SENSE has grown into a university-wide research hub including more than 80 members and 12 faculty fellows spanning engineering, computer science, ocean science, medicine and many other disciplines. Together, institute-affiliated researchers have generated more than $76 million in external research funding as principal investigators, securing a return on investment exceeding 5-to-1 for the university. Beyond funding, the institute’s faculty and students have produced patents, startups and nationally recognized research infrastructure and innovations. “Although the breadth of I-SENSE’s impact cannot be measured by any single metric, its accomplishments demonstrate a sustained commitment to innovation with purpose,” said Gregg Fields, Ph.D., FAU’s vice president for research. “Through

Dive Brief: - The Federal Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday announced more than $1.5 billion in funding opportunities across seven preparedness grant programs to help communities fight terrorism and other threats. - More than $1 billion is available through FEMA’s Fiscal Year 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program, designed to help state and local governments improve coordination among law enforcement agencies, strengthen critical infrastructure cybersecurity, protect the integrity of U.S. elections, support border security efforts and enhance protection at large events. - FEMA also made more than $500 million available for six grant programs protecting houses of worship, port authorities, local and territorial government agencies, transportation infrastructure, Amtrak and intercity bus systems from acts of terrorism. Dive Insight: Since President Donald Trump signed an executive order shifting more responsibility for disaster preparedness from FEMA to local governments in March 2025, cities and states have filed multiple lawsuits attempting to claw back federal funding opportunities. A U.S. District Court judge in March ordered FEMA to reverse its termination of $4.5 billion in Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program funding. FEMA has made $1 billion in federal funding available through the newly relaunched program, which helps states and local governments to protect their communities from natural disasters. In April, FEMA announced more than $250 million in Flood Mitigation Assistance awards to help states reduce their risk and prevent damage from flood disasters. Earlier this month, the U.S. House Appropriations Committee approved a 2027 Homeland Security spending bill that proposes $34.1 billion for FEMA programs — an increase of more than $2 billion over current funding. That bill now moves to the full House for consideration. Robert Fenton, the senior official performing the duties of the FEMA administrator until the Senate approves a permanent chief, said in a statement that the funding opportunities announced

Officers and Paramedics in the Field Law enforcement officers operating in high-stakes situations need information immediately. Body-worn cameras with integrated edge AI deliver analysis locally, sending audio alerts directly to an officer’s earpiece without routing every frame to a precinct server. Processing happens at the source, reducing latency and transmission overhead while ensuring relevant event data reaches central command quickly and efficiently. Critical information arrives when it is needed most, and cloud systems receive the event summaries that support broader oversight, analytics and evidentiary storage. For emergency medical services, the stakes are equally high. Paramedics equipped with edge-compute systems analyze patient vitals and diagnostic imagery the moment data is collected. The system cross-references a locally cached version of a patient’s medical history to flag potential drug interactions or allergic reactions before the ambulance reaches the hospital. Specialized treatment begins minutes sooner, and the emergency room receives a data summary before the patient arrives. In golden-hour scenarios, starting that process at the point of care rather than waiting for a server response changes outcomes. READ MORE: Here are four ways that governments can modernize emergency contact centers. Serving Residents Closer to Where They Are For agencies operating in communities where connectivity is inconsistent, field-workers benefit from the same principle. Social services workers using offline-first mobile applications document cases, access records and process requests locally, with data syncing seamlessly to central systems when a connection is available. The architecture prioritizes continuous service delivery as a design choice, not as a contingency, ensuring residents receive consistent support regardless of where they live. Road maintenance and transportation agencies are seeing similar gains. On-vehicle AI detection systems analyze road surfaces in real time, identifying potholes, pavement deterioration and conditions that signal upcoming maintenance needs.

Could Underground Waste Management be the Future of Clean Cities? New York City’s iconic, 23-ton collection fleets rumble through every one of its boroughs like clockwork — except on Roosevelt Island. Trucks and cars are kept to a bare minimum on this remote, floating strip of land. So instead of getting hauled off by vehicles, garbage travels underground. New York City’s iconic, 23-ton collection fleets rumble through every one of its boroughs like clockwork — except on Roosevelt Island. Trucks and cars are kept to a bare minimum on this remote, floating strip of land. So instead of getting hauled off by vehicles, garbage travels underground. Beneath the streets, high-powered turbines suck waste through a massive network of pneumatic tubes at up to 60 miles per hour. Developed in the 1960’s by the Swedish company Envac, this automated vacuum system swallows about 5.5 pounds of trash a day. Discards residents drop in chutes in their buildings land at a centralized island facility where it’s compacted, sealed in containers, loaded onto New York Department of Sanitation trucks, and driven away for disposal. While Roosevelt Island’s system is rare in the U.S., such pneumatic networks are common in space-constrained European cities and elsewhere. Envac installations operate in smart cities, hospitals, airports, and residential developments across more than 40 countries. The Swedish tech developer reports the technology reduces carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to more traditional trash collection. No trucks. No diesel fumes. And the enclosed systems keep rats and odors at bay. Some cities report good news for their fiscal bottom lines. Bergen, Norway, says its subsurface network, while carrying high upfront costs, is saving $2 million annually in trash collection. Kissimmee, Florida, was the first to debut underground waste collection in the States back in 2017. Though the technology,
