Conveniently implementing a digital smart city equipped with AI functions using a smartphone is not merely about creating a single app; it means building a digital city ecosystem that connects citizens, administrative agencies, transportation systems, safety systems, and environmental management systems by collecting various information generated within the city via smartphone and having AI automatically analyze it. While smart cities of the past were centered around large-scale servers, expensive sensors, and complex infrastructure, the smartphone itself has evolved into a powerful computing device and an AI terminal, ushering in an era where anyone can implement smart city functions at a relatively low cost. Smartphones already possess most of the core functions necessary for urban operations. GPS provides location data, cameras record urban conditions in real time, microphones detect sounds and danger signals, internet connections transmit data to the cloud, and accelerometers and gyroscopes analyze movement status and impacts. When combined with AI technology, intelligent urban management becomes possible that goes beyond simple data collection to understand situations and make automatic judgments. For example, if a citizen photographs road damage with a smartphone, the AI can analyze the size and risk level of the cracks in the image and automatically report it to the relevant agency based on the GPS location. If you upload photos of illegal waste dumping, AI can classify the types of waste and determine cleaning priorities. Smartphone-based AI technology can play a significant role in transportation systems. Anonymously analyzing citizens' movement data allows for the identification of real-time traffic flow in the city, and AI can predict congested areas at specific times to recommend alternative routes. Furthermore, combining bus location data enables AI to calculate arrival times more accurately and predict subway congestion levels. Utilizing smartphone cameras allows for the automatic detection of accident-risk areas by analyzing

Letter: Another viewpoint on data centers Letter to the editor Just the prospect of a proposed data center coming to unincorporated Alachua County has created a firestorm of opposition that is threatening the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) to kill the idea before it grows. A few vocal individuals and the usual alarmist groups that inundate them with emails filled with misinformation are trying to obstruct the BoCC from thoughtfully addressing this issue. The proposed data center is referred to as a high-megawatt data center, which is a rather generic description in the context of data center types. There is no way to weigh the advantages against the disadvantages for the County with just that tidbit of information. The idea of changing the County’s Comprehensive Plan and land use policies to exclude any and every type of data center is exceedingly narrow-minded and reeks of laziness by folks who are afraid to do their job comprehensively. There are several thousand data centers in the U.S., and this number continues to grow each year. Depending on their type, large data centers can actually provide significant benefits for a county. So far, the reaction from the BoCC has been brutally predictable, given their proclivities about growth. All the commissioners appear to be considering grouping all data centers into one category and moving on from the issue, because data centers turn cities into ghost towns. I would prefer to see the BoCC stand tall and do their due diligence to see if there could be some real economic benefit to the county from the proposal. Given the looming economic challenges ahead, now is the time to establish a mindset focused on real-time decision-making, grounded in the idea of “ask not what the country can do for you…” Cringing on the dais and hollering,

In May 2026, Delhi recorded temperatures above above 43°C, with some stations reaching 44°C. Banda in Uttar Pradesh reached 47.6°C and Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh climbed to 46.0°C. Millions of construction workers, street vendors, delivery personnel and other informal labourers are suffering the brunt of this heat in their daily work. As another severe heatwave grips large parts of India, it is exposing a deeper weakness in the country's urban development model — cities continue to depend on migrant workers who remain largely unprotected from the climate risks that increasingly shape urban life. The consequences are becoming familiar. Each summer across the Indo-Gangetic plain, temperatures push beyond safe limits for sustained outdoor work. Informal workers leave cities for villages that can barely absorb them, only to return when conditions ease. The same pattern was visible during the COVID-19 lockdowns and during successive flooding seasons. What was once treated as an exceptional disruption is a recurring feature of urban India. India’s poorest states could bear the brunt of severe heatwaves Describing this as a failure of urban governance, though accurate, does not go far enough. Decades of rapid urbanisation driven by economic opportunity have produced a city-building trajectory in which informal labour integration became the default rather than a transitional stage. The result is a permanently provisional workforce without tenure security, portable welfare or meaningful protection against the thermal extremes now intensifying across the subcontinent. India's internal migrant population already exceeded 400 million people in 2023. The next year, the heatwave season displaced 5.4 million workers from urban employment, while wet-bulb temperatures across parts of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh approached thresholds that climate physiology identifies as the outer boundary of survivable outdoor exposure without mechanical cooling. Against this backdrop, the absence of protective policy is striking. Research from IIT Gandhinagar published in

The Indian real estate industry has evolved in the sense that it does not revolve merely around metro cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. In recent years, several Tier-II cities have gained attention as ideal investment hubs owing to infrastructure development, affordable real estate prices, employment generation and enhanced connectivity. Additionally, initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission, AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) and various industrial corridor projects have further accelerated development in these cities. Here are eight such Tier-II cities: Indore is widely regarded as one of India's most promising real estate destinations due to its strong economic growth, excellent infrastructure and status as the country's cleanest city. Areas such as Super Corridor and Vijay Nagar are witnessing significant residential and commercial development. The city's expanding IT sector, startup ecosystem and industrial growth continue to attract investors and homebuyers. Lucknow is witnessing rapid urban transformation driven by metro expansion, expressways and Smart City projects. Locations such as Gomti Nagar Extension and Shaheed Path have become major real estate hotspots. The city's improving infrastructure, growing commercial activity and relatively affordable property prices make it an attractive destination for long-term investment. Jaipur has emerged as a preferred real estate market due to its strategic location on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and expanding urban infrastructure. Residential demand and rental activity have increased steadily in recent years. Areas like Jagatpura, Vaishali Nagar and Ajmer Road are attracting significant investor interest owing to improved connectivity and commercial growth. Coimbatore is gaining attention as one of South India's fastest-growing real estate markets. The city's thriving manufacturing sector, expanding IT industry and infrastructure projects have boosted housing demand. Areas along Avinashi Road and Saravanampatti are witnessing strong development activity. Property values have also risen considerably following increased investment inflows after the

A Pandit family in Jammu keeps trying to return to the ancestral house in Anantnag in Kashmir from which they fled decades ago. Although part of the same region, Jammu and Anantang seems like different countries to Poshkar Nath Koul (MK Raina), his wife, their son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. It’s easy enough to plan a trip, but there are invisible barriers to setting foot in the place that once was home. Batt Koch (The Lost Lane), directed by debut filmmakers Ankit Walli and Siddarth Koul and produced by Vinayak Razdan, is a story of displacement and resilience, cultural loss and memory. The Jammu household is a mix of Kashmiri, which the elders speak, and Hindi, which the grandchildren prefer. When Poshkar does find his way back, he finds that much has changed, and a great deal hasn’t. Unlike a few recent films about the Kashmiri Pandit experience, Batt Koch stresses on the importance of balance and cultural preservation over rage and vendetta. Following a theatrical release in March and screenings in American cities, Batt Koch is being shown at the New York Indian Film Festival, which concludes on Sunday. Batt Koch is nominated for Best Debut Feature Film and Best Actor for MK Raina. Apart from Raina, a veteran of the stage and cinema, the cast is entirely Kashmiri, with several Kashmiris in the crew too – a conscious choice for Siddarth Koul and Ankit Wali. The directors were born and raised in Jammu. They have worked extensively in Bollywood. Batt Koch was as emotional an experience for them as it was for the fictional characters, they said. Siddharth Koul thought of the film during the Covid lockdown, after being “deeply moved by the emotional relationship Amitabh Bachchan’s character has with his ancestral home” in Shoojit Sircar’s movie Piku, he

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s gradual opening of investment channels into Makkah and Madinah is drawing interest from developers and institutional investors seeking exposure to what could become one of the Kingdom’s largest long-term real estate opportunities. The move comes as authorities seek to attract capital while preserving the religious significance of Islam’s holiest cities. It follows a series of Vision 2030-linked reforms, including the Capital Market Authority’s 2025 decision allowing foreign investors to invest in Saudi-listed companies with exposure to real estate in Makkah and Madinah. In January, the Real Estate General Authority’s updated framework governing foreign property ownership came into force. “I see the decision to broaden foreign ownership opportunities in Makkah and Madinah coming at a pivotal moment in Saudi Arabia’s transformation agenda,” Robert Coulson, executive adviser for real estate at Accenture, told Arab News. While direct ownership in Makkah and Madinah remains restricted to Saudi companies and Muslim individuals, broader investment access is already reshaping how international investors view the market. “For international investors, this is not merely a market opening; it is an opportunity to participate in one of the world’s most important faith-based urban transformations under the stewardship of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques,” he added. The changes come as Saudi Arabia accelerates efforts to expand religious tourism and accommodate rising pilgrim numbers. According to the General Authority for Statistics, 1.7 million pilgrims performed Hajj this year, while the Kingdom aims to attract 30 million Umrah pilgrims annually by 2030. Hospitality capacity is also expanding rapidly. Real estate consultancy Knight Frank estimates Saudi Arabia currently has around 171,650 hotel rooms, with another 94,500 rooms under construction or in advanced planning stages. Those fundamentals are helping position Makkah and Madinah among the world’s most resilient long-term real estate investment destinations, according to industry experts. Coulson

Renewables & Fuel Duty: This Week's Top Five Energy Stories 1. How Wind & Solar Generation Overtook Gas For the First Time New data from Ember reveals electricity generated by wind and solar projects surpassed the amount from gas worldwide for the first time in April 2026 Global electricity markets reached a notable inflection point in April 2026, as generation from wind and solar exceeded gas-fired power for the first time, according to new data from Ember. Together, wind and solar delivered 22% of global electricity output, overtaking gas at 20%, based on Ember’s latest analysis. In absolute terms, renewable generation outpaced gas by 54TWh during the month. The figures arrive against a backdrop of volatile gas supply and pricing, reinforcing the shifting economics of power generation and casting doubt on the long-term reliance on imported fossil fuels. They also suggest that any short-term return to coal during the energy crisis has been relatively contained. “Countries around the world have been turning to wind and solar because they are cheap, homegrown and secure sources of electricity,” says Kostantsa Rangelova, Global Electricity Analyst at Ember. 2. Q&A: How Will the US-Israel-Iran War Impact Climate Action? Hitachi Energy's Global Head of Sustainability, Alicia Argüello, speaks with Energy Digital about how war in the Middle East will impact the energy sector Since the US and Israel's military campaign on Iran began in February, the global energy sector has been reeling. Almost immediately, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway off the country's south coast through which almost all of the Middle East's waterborne oil and gas is ordinarily shipped. Now, exactly three months after the conflict's start, the strait remains far from fully operational. This has left the world with a huge deficit of fuel – around 20% of normal supplies.

Athens has presented a comprehensive digital transformation program designed to modernize city services, improve everyday life for residents and strengthen the management of urban infrastructure. The initiative, titled “Upgrade Athens,” includes eight projects focused on digital governance, public services, mobility, environmental monitoring and civic participation. According to city officials, the program aims to use technology to make municipal services more efficient, responsive and accessible while encouraging greater citizen involvement in local decision-making. Smart Waste Management and Cleaner Streets One of the flagship projects is Athens Smart Clean, a new system for managing and monitoring waste collection infrastructure. Through a mobile application called “Athens, Clean City,” residents will be able to schedule collections for bulky waste items. The system will also use 360 smart garbage trucks equipped with telematics technology and 1,000 sensors installed in waste bins to provide real-time information on areas requiring intervention. The goal is to improve efficiency and allow city services to respond more quickly to sanitation needs. Citizens as Real-Time City Reporters Another key project, Athens Civil Alert, will allow residents to report incidents such as fires, flooding and fallen trees directly through a dedicated application. Reports will be sent immediately to the city’s operations center, enabling authorities to respond without administrative delays. Citizens will also be able to track the progress of their reports through the same platform. The system will incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and will be connected with other municipal digital services. Smart Neighborhoods and Digital Participation The plan also includes the development of smart neighborhood infrastructure across the city. Public Wi-Fi networks, environmental sensors measuring air quality and digital information displays will be installed at selected locations. A central platform will collect and analyze data from these systems, providing city authorities with a unified overview of urban conditions. Residents will

The shift is a response to hard limits above ground. The capital's core is straining under traffic, parking shortages and overloaded utilities, and in historic central wards such as Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Dong Da and Hai Ba Trung there is almost no land left for large infrastructure. Under the new plan, underground space will no longer be a scatter of disconnected basements but a single integrated system, knitted into existing centers, transit-oriented development zones and the metro network, with major underground hubs linked by strategic tunnels. The idea is a city that works vertically rather than one that simply spreads. Development is sorted into four depth tiers, each with a defined job. The top layer, from 0 to 15 m, handles daily life: pedestrian walkways, underground parking, utility lines, shopping space and the connections to metro stations, which makes it the most commercially valuable level. From 15 to 30 m sits the technical and strategic layer, with deep metro lines, disaster-prevention systems, energy and strategic-material reserves, and facilities needing tight climate control. The 30 to 50 m band is reserved for core infrastructure: large groundwater reservoirs, key utility corridors and defense and security installations. Everything below 50 m is locked away as a strictly protected reserve, untouched within this planning horizon. The metro is the backbone of the whole scheme. Stations become three-dimensional complexes, and within a 500 m radius a resident could move, shop and park entirely underground without surfacing. Hanoi plans "Super Hub" complexes at major interchanges including Ngoc Hoi, Yen Vien and Tay Thang Long, designed as underground "city lobbies" linking high-speed rail, metro and commercial streets. The plan also splits the city along the Red River. To the south, the focus is underground transport and large-scale parking tied together by utility tunnels. To the north,

Abstract Despite the growing body of research on smart cities, existing studies tend to rely on objective indicators, often overlooking how citizens perceive the balance between key urban dimensions. To fill this gap, the present research analyzes the current development of 56 smart cities in Europe through a multidimensional assessment framework based on the non-compensatory Distance-Pena (DP2) method. While most assessments of smart cities use objective measures to gauge their performance, this research emphasizes citizens’ viewpoints by assessing perceptions concerning the infrastructural and technological dimensions of smart cities within five categories, namely health and safety, mobility, activities, opportunities, and governance. The results identify four different types of cities based on their respective levels of structural and technological performances. In some cases, there is equal development on both fronts, while in others, there is unequal development, characterized by a strong presence in either one aspect or another. These patterns generate heterogeneous configurations of perceived smart city performance. The findings provide a descriptive typology of smart cities based on citizen perceptions and offer insights into how different dimensions of urban performance can be evaluated. This study adds to the conceptual knowledge of smart cities and provides practical value for policymakers designing smart city strategies that align with citizen-centric views.

While our cities boast wide roads, flyovers, and modern traffic signals, the reality on the ground is a chaotic mess of rule-breakers and impatient drivers. In stark contrast, travel to the narrow, treacherous mountain roads of Sikkim or Himachal, and you will witness a level of traffic discipline that will leave you speechless. In this video, we hold up a mirror to our urban traffic culture. Why do we, despite our high education and "smart city" status, struggle to follow the simplest traffic rules? Why do we see the urge to overtake, honk, and break lanes as a sign of bravery rather than a display of stupidity? Meanwhile, in the mountains, where one wrong move means death, people follow lanes with patience and respect for fellow commuters—without a single traffic policeman in sight. #TrafficSense #RoadDiscipline #SmartCity #CivicResponsibility #OdishaNews #RoadSafety #TrafficJams #MountainLife #UrbanChaos #DrivingEthics #BreakingNewsOdisha #SikkimDiaries #SafeDriving Kanak News is Odisha's leading 24x7 news and current affairs TV channel from Eastern Media Limited.

National Infrastructure sector tops budget allocation for new fiscal year The government has announced a ‘mission mode’ approach to speed up project delivery through reforms, flexible financing, and improved coordination, while setting ambitious targets for roads, bridges, and drinking water access.Bimal Khatiwada The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport has received the highest—Rs3.02 trillion—for the upcoming fiscal year, figuring 14.25 percent of the total budget. Of the total, Rs2.86 trillion has been allocated for roads and urban infrastructure development, while Rs371.7 billion has been allocated for water supply and sanitation. The ministry, formed after a merger of the Urban Development Ministry and Physical Infrastructure and Transport Ministry, has given special priority to national pride and strategically important projects. However, the budget for the Kathmandu–Tarai Madhesh Fast Track, one of the most closely watched national pride projects, has been reduced. Only Rs 17.64 billion has been allocated for its construction phase, compared to Rs24.49 billion in the current fiscal year. Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle said that procurement reforms, flexibility in fund transfers, alternative financing mechanisms, and ensuring project stability will help complete projects on time and within budget under a “mission mode” approach. He also said a “sunset law” related to development projects will be presented in Parliament within the current fiscal year. He added that the government will address difficulties faced by contractors due to rising prices of fuel, bitumen, and other construction materials caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Development projects have been largely stalled due to the conflict in West Asia, with roads prepared for blacktopping left incomplete. The Nepal Construction Entrepreneurs Federation has said work has halted due to the government’s failure to adjust prices. Nicholas Pandey, president of the federation, said the budget appears to prioritise completion of old projects. “The key issue we
