  1. Flock’s license-plate network was used by Wisconsin police to track a man’s trips to Michigan and justify a car search. 🚨
    As some cities drop Flock, others are replacing it with Axon ALPR systems that can blend into existing street infrastructure. 📷

  2. Cities need clean-air solutions that are visible, measurable, and scalable.

    Carbelim’s Algae Tree Infrastructure uses microalgae-powered photobioreactor technology to help capture CO₂, support oxygen generation, and monitor air quality in urban pollution zones.

    A living climate-tech solution for smarter cities and stronger ESG impact.

  3. Giving back to Calgary: an article was published today about my satellite research of the city!

    It is important to me to use my knowledge as a geoscientist and environmental data scientist to help make our new home better and greener. Thanks to LiveWire Calgary for the interest in this topic!

  4. Someone finally built the car that charges itself.

    Just talked to Robert Hoevers, CEO of Squad Mobility, about their solar-powered city car. Panel on the roof. Battery underneath. Park it in the sun, drive it around town—it just keeps charging.

    Live somewhere sunny? You literally never plug in. The average person drives 12km a day for errands. This does 150km max range. The math works.

    5,300 pre-orders. €1.5M in European funding. Production starts next year.
    Street legal. Crash tested.
    Robert put it simply: "It's like a second car."

    Exactly. Not for highway commutes but perfect for the grocery run, city trip, the school drop-off and all those short trips where driving a massive polluting vehicle makes zero sense.

    Sometimes the obvious solution just needed someone to build it.

  10. India has enforced strict new surveillance equipment rules from April 2025, aiming to boost national security and reduce reliance on Chinese tech. Global CCTV makers face delays due to new requirements like encryption, malware protection, and source code access. The $7B market is now in flux as companies rush to comply.

  13. #UrbanData #PublicInterest #SmartCities #Urbanism #Cities: "Over the past two years, The New Hanse, a collaboration between The New Institute and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, has been exploring the realm of business-to-government-to-society (B2G2S) urban data sharing.

    Now, we are excited to announce the release of our final project report, titled "Governing Urban Data for the Public Interest." This report represents the culmination of our efforts and offers actionable guidelines for European cities seeking to harness the power of data for the public good.

    The key recommendations outlined in the report are:
    1. Shift the Paradigm towards Democratic Control of Data: Advocate for a policy that defaults to making urban data accessible, requiring private data holders to share in the public interest.

    2. Provide Legal Clarity in a Dynamic Environment: Address legal uncertainties by balancing privacy and confidentiality needs with the public interest in data accessibility, working collaboratively with relevant authorities at national and EU level.

    3. Build a Data Commons Repository of Use cases: Streamline data sharing efforts by establishing a standardised use case repository with common technical frameworks, procedures, and contracts.

    4. Set up an Urban Data Intermediary for the Public Interest: Institutionalise data sharing, by building urban data intermediaries to address complexities, following principles of public purpose, transparency, and accountability.

    5. Learning from the Hamburg Experiment and Scale it across Europe: Embrace experimentation as a vital step, even if outcomes are uncertain, to adapt processes for future innovations. Experiments at the local level can inform policy and scale nationally and across Europe." thenewhanse.eu/en/blueprint

  14. The “free market” approach to fighting climate change isn’t working too well. The ability to sell carbon credits helped Musk’s Telsa appear green, but for every electric car they made, a new gas-powered one was made by someone else using the carbon credit. We need to do things differently. Here's an article inspired by John Lorinc's "Dream States"
