Humans are social animals. From a biological perspective, humans are highly social creatures and have a strong need for social connection and interaction with others. Throughout human history, people have lived in groups and communities, and have developed a wide range of social norms and institutions to facilitate cooperation and collaboration. Even today, most people spend a significant portion of their time interacting with others, whether it be with family, friends, colleagues, or strangers. The importance of social connections for human well-being is well-documented. Research has shown that people who have strong social connections tend to be happier, live longer, and have better overall health outcomes. So it seems that, as a species, humans are hardwired to be social, and our relationships with others play a central role in our overall well-being. +

A smart city is a municipality that uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life for its citizens by making the city more efficient, livable, and sustainable. This can be achieved through the use of a variety of technologies, such as sensors, IoT devices, and advanced analytics, to monitor and manage the city's assets and resources, including transportation, utilities, and public services. Smart cities also often have a strong focus on sustainability and use technology to reduce their environmental impact, such as by implementing energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems. +
Build a 3 MWh Long-Duration Storage System to demonstrate multiple use cases, including frequency response, contingency reserve, voltage and VAR support, demand response and resource optimization. The project will be located on land adjacent to ESS’ factory headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon. +
Wilsonville is a city primarily in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States. A portion of the northern section of the city is in Washington County. It was founded as Boones Landing because of the Boones Ferry which crossed the Willamette River at the location; the community became Wilsonville in 1880. The city was incorporated in 1969 with a population of approximately 1,000. The population was 13,991 at the 2000 census, and grew to 19,509 as of 2010. Slightly more than 90% of residents at the 2000 census were white, with Hispanics comprising the largest minority group. +
This set of 22 projects is managed by the Wireless team and is focused on development of best practices for the deployment of wireless systems. Wireless networks can be a tool for economic development, a lever for tackling the digital divide and homework gap, as a core infrastructure in IoT networks, and supporting smart city applications such as public safety, energy, lighting, transportation, and more.<br/> +
The purpose of this blueprint is to provide readers with a practical “how-to” guide for deploying a Public Wi-Fi system within their jurisdiction or agency. +
Wireless LTE Traffic Signal Control System Using IoT technology for all crossroads in Gunpo-city South Korea +
The Gunpo City traffic signal system was created with a voluntary idea, based on the experience of operating a traffic information system and with the application of the latest IT technology trend.
Thus, we have prepared a stepping stone for the provision of traffic signal information to the private sector in the era of automated vehicles of the 4th Industrial Revolution which had not felt concrete until now. +
* Establish a wireless living lab at an Iowa State University research farm for cross-domain, cross-discipline research, education, and pilot of smart ag and rural connectivity solutions
* Work with wireless and agriculture research and education communities as well as potential rural communities in scaling the living lab software and hardware systems as well as services

Most U.S. states have ordered residents to shelter-in-place in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This presents significant challenges for residents in areas with poor or no broadband service, preventing them from using the internet to access distance learning resources, contact health care providers while remaining sheltered, accessing online shopping, and other online activities that most people take for granted.
Residents need three things to overcome digital inclusion gaps: a suitable computing device, high-speed internet, and digital literacy. People with Access & Functional Needs (AFNs) cannot easily overcome the digital inclusion challenge without assistance from local governments, telecommunication providers, and corporate partners.
Some AFN communities are attempting to creatively solve the connectivity challenge by retrofitting school buses and “Bookmobiles” with Wi-Fi equipment and then parking them in neighborhoods with AFN residents. In some cases, schools and public libraries are petitioning the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to waive some E-rate rules so they can open up their networks to the surrounding community. There are some significant downsides to this approach:
* Wi-Fi coverage is limited to coverage of about 200 feet.
* Wi-Fi signals are less likely to penetrate walls and windows.
* It encourages people to gather near the hotspot & ignore social distancing.
An alternative that can provide broadband service to AFN residents in areas that are unserved or underserved by existing telecommunication networks is to enhance the 4G LTE infrastructure to provide additional coverage – specifically indoor coverage – to a broader range of locations, by building temporary wireless sites near the areas of need. Once the sites are in place, government or community groups can provide AFN residents with a hotspot, or an inexpensive smartphone to be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
There are various configurations possible to provide broadband service to the largest number of AFN residents while keeping costs low, utilizing available equipment, and operating within legal and regulatory constraints:
* COWs, COLTs, RDSs, with local fiber backhaul
* Aerostat for coverage, with local fiber backhaul
* COWs/COLTs/RDSs, with Aerostat-based backhaul
* Aerostat for coverage, with wireless backhaul
This concept paper Wireless Networks for Distance Learning details each of these configurations, examines the pros and cons of each method, and explores funding options.
W.I.S.E. Town stands for Web Information Streams Enhancer for your Town. The goal of this solution is to collect information from different streams to identify the issues that affect the city in several areas: urban renewal, garbage collection, public safety, transportation, social services and environmental problems. +
The World Cities Summit (WCS) is a global platform for government and city leaders, academics and industry experts to share innovative solutions and forge new partnerships to make our cities more liveable, sustainable and resilient against current and future disruptions. Jointly organised by Singapore’s Centre for Liveable Cities and Urban Redevelopment Authority, WCS is typically held every two years in Singapore. +
Cities and communities around the world are entering the next era of transformational change in which citizens and their surrounding natural and built environments are increasingly connected by digital technologies. In the coming digital industrial revolution, technology will widen the playing field to include greater participation of individuals and ideas from all walks of life as we reinvent who and what we are. These technologies not only have the potential to build a more inclusive community, but when thoughtfully applied could help realize greater socio-economic gains. Conversely, if these technologies are not available to all, we would fragment our communities more than they are today.
Smart Cities are %90 sociology and %10 infrastructure. +

Yachats is a small coastal city in the southernmost area of Lincoln County, Oregon, United States. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the name comes from the Siletz language and means "dark water at the foot of the mountain". There is a range of differing etymologies.
