Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs) are the minimal but sufficient capabilities needed to achieve interoperability of data, systems, and services between buyers, suppliers and regulators across governance levels around the world. Because the mechanisms are based on an inclusive list of baselines and references, they take into account the different backgrounds of cities and communities and allow cities to achieve interoperability based on a minimal common ground. +
This document contains the technical specifications of the Living-in.EU (LI.EU) upscaling declaration1 initiative and is based on existing minimal interoperability mechanisms (MIMs)plus some additional fundamental building blocks – hence the name: MIMs Plus. It is one of three deliverables from the LI.EU Technical sub-group, the others being a concept paper, describing the scope and time plan for the work, and operational guidance, with practical guidance on how the technical specifications can be used in practice. +

Mercedes-Benz takes another major step in building the world’s most desirable electric cars. The inventor of the automobile today announced that it will work with Sila, a next-generation battery materials company, to incorporate Sila’s silicon anode chemistry in batteries which are optionally available for the first time in the upcoming electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class. This will add another innovative cell chemistry to the Mercedes-Benz battery portfolio. +
The study defines the smart city model for all Spanish municipalities and analyzes its current situation. +
Metro Nashville’s Transportation Plan proposes
core categories for investment that reflect our
communities’ and the region’s stated priorities:
Mass transit, neighborhood infrastructure
(sidewalks, bikeways, greenways), a “state
of good repair” for roads and bridges, traffic
operations and signals, and safety/Vision Zero. +
This report examines the potential for implementing zero-emissions micro-delivery hubs in Portland to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and enhance safety in urban logistics. Transportation, particularly medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, remains a major contributor to Oregon's greenhouse gas emissions, with significant impacts on low-income and BIPOC communities. Driven by Portland’s Climate Emergency Declaration and the 2040 Freight Plan, this study explores micro-delivery solutions, such as cargo bikes and small electric vehicles, as alternatives to diesel-powered freight trucks. Drawing insights from cities like Boston and New York, the report evaluates Portland’s existing transportation and land-use policies, identifies zoning and regulatory challenges, and proposes pilot projects and code adjustments to support a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable urban delivery network. +
SEA Electric and Midwest Transit Equipment (MTE) have partnered to update 10,000 school buses with battery-electric power-systems, the biggest deal of its kind to date, which paves the way for a zero-emissions future for children's transport in North America. +
Wacker Neuson is expanding its zero emission range to include the electric mini-excavator EZ17e. With solutions by Wacker Neuson, an entire inner- city construction site can be operated fully emission-free and almost free of noise. Due to its specially developed battery technology, flexible charge management and efficiency output, the compact excavator can be applied in as many ways as a conventional model of the same class. +
WhereIsMyTransport has mapped 50 cities in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Europe, and Asia, becoming the first company to offer high-quality mobility and location data in all of these markets. The company started mapping public transport in South Africa in 2016 before expanding globally to become the central source of data for high-growth, emerging markets. +
Monarch Tractor, maker of the world’s first fully electric, driver-optional tractor. Monarch Tractor’s incorporation of robotics into our MK-V is yielding tremendous results for farmers. Autonomous capabilities that allow the tractor to drive itself to AI and machine learning that provide actionable intelligence for increased precision and efficiency in the fields, Monarch Tractor has become key in unlocking a profitable path forward toward more sustainable farming operations. +
The "Morgenstadt Framework" is an early version of what is to become the Fraunhofer Morgenstadt approach to analyse cities upon their sustainability performance. The full version will be published as my PhD in 2016. +
This report focuses on existing governance aspects in relation to food, water and energy security in the three selected nexus partner cities, Ulaanbaatar, Da Nang and Korat. It produces a city profile for each city, which serves to develop strategic and systemic measures to support innovative and future-oriented city development and/or infrastructure projects as well as to supply the cities with an instrument to be used further on for self-evaluation. This first chapter introduces the report’s background, including information on the project objectives and methodology. +
The update to the Multnomah County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) was adopted by resolution of the Multnomah County Board on October 13 2024. The final version of the plan is posted below, and incorporates comment from the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The plan received final federal review approval on August 24, 2023, and may be now be adopted by all of the participating jurisdictions and districts. A list of adoption dates by each multi-jurisdictional partner will be added to this page soon. This plan update was built through stakeholder input, public comment, and the most up-to-date studies and research about natural hazard risk in Multnomah County. +
If you are a local government official or employed by a municipality, chances are by now you have heard the term “Smart City.” Perhaps you have even wondered what it means for your agency and, possibly, your constituents. However, while it is not difficult to find articles explicating the promise of smart cities it is, in fact, much harder to find examples of actual smart cities. +
