I met Oliver David Krieg and founders, Oliver Lang and Cindy Wilson, at a recent clean tech conference. The story of Intelligent City fascinated me. While modular construction is not new, this accepted way of building has been transformed, ad as per Oliver Lang, "As an industry first, we have commenced manufacturing of certified building systems compliant with the new high rise mass timber building codes up using AI through data integration, software automation and advanced robotics." Intelligent City is disrupting where currently the construction and operation of buildings is responsible for 39% of humanity's global greenhouse gas emissions. We delve into the use of mass timber, and why it's the best material, at the moment, that can forge an industry towards net zero. We also discuss the rise of increasing urbanization: In 2050, it is estimated that 70% of the global population will reside in 7% of the planet -- mainly in urban areas. Will this exacerbate the demand for affordable housing, leading to potential overcrowding, increased pollution, escalated conflicts, and social inequalities? And, can we learn from the lessons of Sidewalk Labs (Part of Google) and finally develop a smart city that addresses personal data concerns as intelligent systems collide? Thank you Cindy Wilson, Oliver Lang and Oliver David Krieg for enlightening me! Read more here! https://lnkd.in/g3Y2t7bp

we need to utilise innovation like these for sustainability

Not only solar energy will help us… the diversity in power generation is the key!

Power generation from wind turbine using Smart traffic. This is a nascent idea different than piezoelectric devices. #innovation #technology

It is my pleasure to utilize AI in generating innovative concepts for individuals seeking to construct sustainable homes using eco-friendly materials. As the world progresses with technological advancements, it is imperative that we revisit historical knowledge to ensure a clean and secure future, free from the detrimental effects of our own creations. While modern architecture may project an illusion of futuristic success, it often comes at the expense of our environment and the planet's health. To maintain a harmonious balance between modernity and environmental sustainability, we must explore alternative approaches to address climate change and adaptation, thereby reducing carbon emissions and achieving net zero to safeguard our planet.

This week we joined the Conference “AI for Low Carbon Cities”, thanks to the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung and Urban AI for hosting these discussions, which included:   Francesca Bria, President of the Italian National Innovation Fund Robert Heinecke, CEO, Breeze Technologies Nikola Milojević-Dupont, PhD researcher, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) gGmbH Myrian Rigal (née Schwitzner), Senior Product Manager, Technologiestiftung Berlin Katrin Fritsch, Green Web Foundation Moderation: Marie Josefine Hintz, Technical University of Berlin & Hertie School, Aurel von Richthofen, Arup & Hubert Beroche, Urban AI The discussions touched on linking open data usage, citizen participation, and tech innovation towards a healthier and greener city, opening the door for alternative innovation models in Europe. It touched the importance of  finding the right balance between regulation and enabling innovation, issues around access to data needed for accurate models, among many other others. This is THE topic that is present in all of TSPAs work and current projects:  how to use digital urbanism towards more inclusive and climate-responsive urban environments, especially in light of climate change. This talk reiterated the importance of the UP2030 HE #horizoneurope project, in driving collaboration between cities and digital tool providers (practitioners) to prototype at a neighborhood scale. At the same time to support up-scaling efforts to drive cities’ socio-technical transitions required to meet their climate neutrality targets. Another follow-up event will take place on 29th January on AI and sustainability topics, also at the Heinrich Böll Foundation: https://lnkd.in/gMBSHzp6
