I’m very pleased to be part of this year’s worldwide Smart City community at the World Smart City Expo! 🌍 Day 1 offered incredible insights into the future of urban transformation: 1️⃣ Empowering Local Government An inspiring roundtable with SmartCitiesWorld highlighted the importance of equipping local leaders to drive impactful change. 2️⃣ Smart City Funding in Germany Germany’s Smart Cities program presented early outcomes from its digital solutions initiative, focusing on sustainable, scalable growth across cities and regions. Special thanks to the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development, and Building (#BMWSB) for supporting these efforts through smart city funding. Smart City Dialog 3️⃣ Urban Innovation for Inclusion Experts shared strategies for building cities that serve everyone, with equity and social justice at the core of urban planning. 4️⃣ The role of Al in transforming city dynamics was another major theme. From predictive analytics to responsive public services, it's clear that artificial intelligence is reshaping the smart city. 🤤 But AI is also a climate factor! We need to talk about the energy hunger of modern algorithms. Dear colleagues and community, thank you very much for your valuable insights! Looking forward to more inspiration in the days ahead. #SmartCityExpo #UrbanInnovation #SustainableCities #DigitalTransformation #Freiburg #Innovation #MPSC #SmartCity #SmartCities #SmartRegion #BMWSB #KTS #SmartCityDialog #DatenRaumFreiburg

In the #future, will we all be living in #smart #cities? What about smart regions, with improved access to public services and the development of sustainable living spaces? 🏡🏞️📱 Bonny Brandenburger, Dr. Andrea Hamm, Caroline Krohn, Dr. Felix Sühlmann-Faul, Manuel 'HonkHase' Atug, Nicole Almis-Döpp and André Ullrich studied the specific technical, economic and social challenges of municipal digitalization projects in rural areas.

At a time when cities worldwide struggle with soaring housing prices and accessibility crisis, the City of Vienna stands out with a remarkable achievement: its social housing system. It started with the “Red Vienna” governement during the First Republic and their principles: affordability, high quality, social cohesion and a good social mix. However, even this successful system faces modern challenges, with rising costs and new pressures requiring continuous adaptation and care. Interested in understanding this complex ecosystem, I've developed an article for Jornal Arquitetos (coming soon) and this interactive web-GIS platform that explores Vienna's social housing: Key features: 🗓️ Interactive Timeline: Visualize social housing (Gemeindebau) evolution (1900-2004) 🏢 Building Explorer: Dive into detailed project information 📍 Accessibility Analysis: Discover proximity to green spaces and public transport 📊 District Insights: Compare urban characteristics across Vienna's 23 districts Curious to explore Vienna's housing success story?

What do you see in these pictures? Green gentrification or the implementation of "Nature-Based Solutions" (NBS) in urban spaces? Share your thoughts and experiences! We're interested in NBS—a concept in urban studies that involves planning strategies inspired by nature. For city planners, understanding NBS can be challenging. Does it mean greening public spaces, creating blue and green infrastructures, or mitigating climate impacts? Additionally, few studies have explored the effects of NBS on housing inequalities, such as affordability and accessibility issues for lower- and middle-income groups. Who are we? #ReHousIn is an international Horizon Europe project. We aim to analyze the concept of NBS and its impact on housing. How does NBS contribute to sustainable housing? Are they ever used to promote unsustainable outcomes like green gentrification or rising rents? We are investigating these questions across 9 countries and 27 case study locations in Europe. Stay tuned for updates on the #ReHousIn project's findings and insights!

Mycelium + Urban Planning + AI Leveraging biomimetic algorithms to mimic mycelium networks can propose alternative urban planning strategies. Mycelium's efficiency in resource distribution models streamlined urban infrastructure, reducing congestion and improving accessibility. Its resilient nature can inspire robust urban systems capable of withstanding environmental stresses. Additionally, mycelium growth patterns guide the integration of green spaces, enhancing biodiversity and ecological balance. Embracing these natural principles leads to smarter, more sustainable urban environments. Published by STF Labs
