Cheyenne is no exception. Petitions are now circulating asking the city to adopt a one-year moratorium as constituents question the long-term impacts of rapid expansion. While concerns have been present for some time, the proposed annexation of ranch land off Happy Jack Road has intensified skepticism about whether large-scale data center development truly benefits our community. Cheyenne currently has 12 fully operating data centers. When these facilities arrived, Black Hills Energy implemented a tariff, requiring large data users — those with electricity loads above 13 megawatts — to build their own substations and pay for their own power. This system was designed to shield residents and small businesses from rate increases. In the short term, this is reasonable. But long-term questions remain unanswered. What happens when existing data centers need more power than their private substations can supply? If they must tap into the main power grid, the system in place that protects ratepayers could be strained. Before we approve a dramatic expansion of this industry, we need to study potential impacts to the power grids. Water usage raises additional questions. According to the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities and Cheyenne LEADS, all local data centers currently use around 1.2% of Cheyenne’s total water supply. This low figure is possible because most new facilities use closed-loop cooling systems. However, projections suggest Cheyenne could someday host 40 to 70 data centers. Even with efficient systems, scaling up at that magnitude requires answers about flushing cycles, chemical additives, long-term cumulative

How to Solve the World’s Housing Crisis Four choices will define whether cities’ housing policies offer solutions or exacerbate problems. There’s a growing housing crisis that’s impossible to ignore. Consider the stats: Nearly 3 billion people lack access to housing that is both safe and connected to basic services like energy, water and sanitation. Around 40% of the world’s population lives in houses located far away from jobs and opportunities. And 300 million people are currently experiencing homelessness. This translates into a need to build 96,000 affordable homes worldwide every day from now until 2030. It’s a problem that affects poor and rich countries alike. In Asia and Africa, where most urban growth is happening, many residents and migrants find informal settlements, often referred to as slums, to be the only affordable and available option. Informal settlements are expanding faster than infrastructure can keep up in many rapidly growing cities. In wealthier countries, housing costs are rising faster than incomes, pushing people to move further away from jobs and opportunities. Meanwhile, threats are growing. More frequent flooding, extreme heat and other climate shocks are exposing just how vulnerable many urban communities are, especially informal settlements and households already struggling to access basic services. The global housing crisis is therefore not just about supply. It’s about rising costs, deepening inequality and increasing exposure to risk. Expanding and upgrading housing is one of the most powerful levers cities have to respond to these challenges. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. Done effectively, housing can build community, address inequities, and expand access to essential services, jobs and opportunities. Done ineffectively, housing will exacerbate challenges facing people, nature and the climate. Nearly three-quarters of the urban infrastructure that will exist by 2050 has yet to be built. This

Bahrain’s urban resilience framework has been praised following recent regional attacks, with an expert highlighting how smart cities are becoming the frontline in responding to modern crises. Bahrain Smart City Society President Dr Shaikha Fay bint Abdulla bin Mohammed Al Khalifa noted that in a world undergoing rapid geopolitical transformations, cities have become the arena in which nations’ resilience is tested – not only militarily, but also economically, environmentally, and socially. Dr Shaikha Fay The continuity of daily life – from essential services to infrastructure – has become the first line of defence in facing crises. She said Bahrain can leverage AI in mobility and environmental monitoring to shift towards more proactive urban management, which is essential for long-term resilience. The remarks follows close on the heels of the regional Iranian attacks, which led to many urban facilities, including residential buildings and industrial areas in Bahrain being targeted. Many civilians had to temporarily move out of their homes and seek refuge at government provided shelters. A ceasefire was announced on April 8 and has since been extended to allow for further negotiations. Amid the uncertainty of the war, Bahrain’s defence and civic framework, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad and with the support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, stood out as a model striving to balance digital transformation with urban sustainability. “Bahrain demonstrates a relatively strong level of urban resilience, particularly when viewed through the lens of continuity rather than disruption,” Dr Shaikha Fay told the GDN. “The compact nature of the island, combined with integrated infrastructure systems, allows for efficient co-ordination and rapid response when needed,” she added. “The road network and spatial organisation of the island provides a level of flexibility in mobility, allowing movement to

Against the backdrop of macroeconomic headwinds, office market demand around the country grew in the first quarter of 2026, according to industry reports and commercial real estate specialists. The finance, technology and legal sectors led the growth, particularly in San Francisco and New York City. The VTS Office Demand Index, or VODI, reached a post-pandemic index level high of 79 at the end of the quarter, an 18% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 13% year-over-year increase. VODI compares demand against pre-pandemic averages. Technology firm demand rose 109% year over year and accounted for a significant share of national growth, VTS said. Finance and legal sectors experienced quarterly gains of 54% and 41%, respectively. Labor outlooks for all three sectors remain robust, outpacing other office-using sectors, the report says. The gains come as total office-using employment, a key driver of office demand, dropped 0.5% year over year — a loss of 183,000 jobs since the first quarter of last year. The job opening rate in the information sector fell 3.25% in Q1 from 3.83% a year prior, with openings declining in other sectors as well. One reason office demand is rising as the labor market contracts is the leverage that slower hiring gives companies to mandate in-office work, VTS says. “Firms [can] mandate more on-site work and thus offset demand reduction,” it said. JLL said in-office mandate expansions gave its workplace management business a boost this last quarter. “Workplace management contract renewal rates are stable, and our pipeline is strong,” JLL CFO Kelly Howe said on an earnings call last week. “Client activity within project management remains healthy, particularly in the U.S., positioning us for continued momentum over the near term.” Going forward, if oil and gas prices stay high, employers’ return-to-office leverage could weaken as employees point to high commuting costs.

For most of modern history, economic growth has been tightly coupled with the use of fossil fuels. Cities now house more than half of the world’s population, and that urbanization has come hand-in-hand with ecological degradation, air pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions. But now, an assessment of 2,475 of the world’s biggest cities has found that in 80% of them, economic growth is no longer dependent on an increase in fossil-fuel-related emissions. The study, published today in Nature Cities1, used satellite data to measure levels of the greenhouse gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emitted from cities, and compared these data with information on gross domestic product (GDP). The findings indicate that almost 2,000 cities worldwide have implemented green policies that generated economic prosperity while reducing dependencies on fossil fuels. “This research is revealing the importance of cities in addressing twenty-first-century sustainability challenges,” says Michail Fragkias, an applied economist at Boise State University in Idaho, who was not involved in the work. Green cities In their study, Daniel Moran, an environmental economist at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research in Kjeller and his colleagues used satellite data from the European Union’s Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite mission to measure NO2 levels in the troposphere above cities between January 2019 and December 2024. NO2 is produced when fuel is burnt in vehicles, power plants and industrial facilities. The team combined this emissions data with local GDP information per capita for the same period to create an indicator of economic activity linked

Bhopal futuristic 'Algae Tree' goes viral. Internet is impressed Bhopal has installed a new technology called 'algae tree' at Swami Vivekananda Park under the Smart City initiative. The microalgae-based unit will be used to tackle pollution and heat. Bhopal has become the first city in India to install an “Algae Tree”, a futuristic carbon-capturing structure that claims to absorb as much carbon dioxide as 25 full-grown trees while releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere. The technology has been installed at Swami Vivekananda Park under the city’s Smart City initiative and is already drawing widespread attention online. As videos and photos of the installation spread across social media, many users have praised the project as a creative response to worsening pollution, urban heat and climate concerns. Developed by Mushroom World Group, the “Algae Tree” works using a microalgae-based system designed to absorb carbon dioxide from surrounding air and convert it into oxygen. According to the company, the project took nearly two years to develop and involved more than 50 researchers, engineers and specialists. What makes the structure stand out is its compact efficiency. The company claims a single unit can absorb nearly 1.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, roughly equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of around 25 mature trees. Solar panels have also been installed on top of the structure, allowing it to partially operate using renewable energy. Videos of the installation have flooded social media platforms where people praised the initiative and termed it as futuristic. The installation comes at a time when Indian cities are grappling with rising temperatures, worsening air quality and shrinking green cover. Supporters of the project believe such technology could eventually help reduce local carbon levels in crowded urban areas where planting large numbers of trees is difficult. Experts say the idea may

mid-day Opinion: Nothing wrong with living in a furnace Updated On: 11 May, 2026 09:22 AM IST | Mumbai | Lindsay Pereira India is now home to 95 of the world’s hottest cities, which may be better than having 100 Smart Cities if we think about it Temperatures in several regions of Maharashtra have surpassed 40 degrees C, reaching close to 45 degrees C in some areas. FILE PIC/Atul Kamble I have spent much time and energy discussing the Smart Cities Mission in the past, primarily because the government of India appears to have forgotten about it. Back then, it felt as if the project needed to be monitored because of how it could transform India into a country envied by the world, instead of how it is usually looked at. Now, it appears as if we can finally forget about that ambitious plan and move on, because we have a new accolade to be proud of. A couple of weeks ago, it emerged that 95 of the world’s 100 hottest cities now belong to India. It was framed like a bad thing by those annoying foreign reporters, but I would humbly put forth the suggestion that this is something every patriot should be proud to broadcast. Finally, after decades of trying to be good at something, we have succeeded, even if it’s with a little help from Mother Nature. How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience?

Published May 10, 2026 | 7:32 PM ⚊ Updated May 10, 2026 | 7:32 PM Prime Minister Narendra Modi is flanked by Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla (L) and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. Synopsis: Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stones of several projects, besides inaugurating a few others in Hyderabad on Sunday Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, 10 May, inaugurated and laid the foundation for multiple development projects worth ₹9,400 in Telangana. The projects spanned various sectors, including railways, roads, energy infrastructure and textiles. Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and several other leaders attended the event held at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre in Gachibowli. Modi later addressed a public meeting at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad. The Prime Minister laid the groundwork for widening National Highway-167 into four lanes from Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor, a route that connects Telangana to Karnataka. Once completed, the road would cut travel time and logistics costs across both states. Modi also laid the foundation stone for the Zaheerabad Industrial Area in the Sangareddy district. He described it as part of a national drive to build industrial smart cities equipped with world-class infrastructure, a reliable power supply and advanced ICT networks—conditions designed to attract investments from global markets. He said the area would house car manufacturing, machinery and food processing industries, generating jobs for workers and new markets for farmers in Telangana. Modi inaugurated sections of the railways’ Kazipet-Vijayawada multi-tracking project and the Kazipet Rail Under Rail Bypass, both of which would reduce congestion on one of India’s busiest freight and passenger corridors. He pointed to a dramatic shift in railway investment since 2014, noting that the undivided Andhra Pradesh received less than ₹1,000 crore in annual railway
