What makes a smart city

Serial awards in Curitiba recognize environmental, health, and innovation programs—whether or not they involve technology

A “smart city” often evokes images of a futuristic, high-tech metropolis. However, an analysis of projects recognized by leading international forums reveals that innovation isn’t always about cutting-edge technology.

This is how Curitiba has earned awards for initiatives such as a solar power plant built on a former landfill, a health appointment app, and community gardens on abandoned land. The term smart city generally applies to municipalities that address urban challenges in a sustainable, connected, and efficient manner.

Most recently, Curitiba was named Smartest City in the World in 2023 at Fira Barcelona and took first place in the Government Excellence Awards 2024 in the United Arab Emirates with Fala Curitiba, a public consultation program on budget allocation. The city also received the 2024 Pioneering Urbanism Award from Bilbao Metropoli 30 in Spain, the 2024 World Green City Award in the Netherlands for its Urban Agriculture Program, and the 2024 Seoul Smart City Prize.

Each year, the rankings of the “smartest cities” fluctuate, shaped by the criteria and methodologies of different organizations constantly seeking new innovations. Cities frequently cited in these rankings include Zurich, Switzerland, for its high-quality public services and urban planning; Oslo, Norway, for its environmental initiatives and public transportation; Canberra, Australia, for its digital infrastructure; and Copenhagen, Denmark, for its clean energy solutions. Other recurring names include London, Singapore, Helsinki, Hamburg, Stockholm, Geneva, Tel Aviv, and Dubai.

The future of innovation and efficiency that many governments and private companies dream of runs into ecological and geopolitical limits. But AI does not rely on raw materials only during the construction of its physical infrastructures; it does so throughout its cycle. For instance, data centres and servers need large amounts of water to cool down. According to a study published in Nature in 2021, Google and Microsoft declared using respectively 15.8 billion and 3.6 billion litres of water. We don’t know if these numbers are trustworthy. As a telling example, Microsoft has been involved in a scandal regarding the water expenditure of one of its data centres in the Netherlands. Whereas the technology company declared to the Dutch authorities that the centre consumed between 12 and 20 million litres, it transpired it was actually consuming 84 million. Meanwhile, in August 2022, Thames Water announced reviewing the water expenditure of data centres in London due to the drought scenario the capital faced that summer. While the average annual cooling system consumption of a small data centre in the US is estimated to be 25 500 000 litres, that of a person in Nigeria is 12 410 litres – 2 000 times less. AI is also energy intensive. The more data to be analysed, the higher the energy consumption. More sophisticated algorithms, which need long computational time, consume even more. For example, it is estimated that training an algorithm to automatically produce text uses 190,000 kWh; that is, 120 times more than the average annual consumption of a household in Europe in 2020. To generate this energy, raw materials such as organic matter, uranium, coal or water, among others, are again needed. Although some of the big tech companies claim that their energy is produced sustainably, the data shows another trend. In 2019, Greenpeace published a report about an Amazon Data Centre in Virginia (USA), which is considered to be one of the most important in Amazon’s global infrastructure. Greenpeace warned against the important growth in energy consumption in the region due to this data centre’s activities. Despite Amazon’s pledge to invest in “green” energy for this data centre, the reality is that its investment in fossil fuels has increased shamelessly. In 2021, data centres were estimated to consume 0.9-1.3% of global electricity demand. Given AI’s high energy consumption and the current energy crisis, the techno-optimistic dreams of governments and Silicon Valley’s companies could be dashed by the high price of energy.

Elon Musk: The Global Puppet Master of the Right-Wing Agenda

Elon Musk: The Global Puppet Master of the Right-Wing Agenda

What we’re seeing unfold isn’t just a business mogul making political moves—this is a calculated, global strategy to reshape governments in favor of a corporate elite who seek complete control.

Elon Musk isn’t just investing in AI, quantum computing, and space exploration. He’s investing in the future of governance itself.

1. The Right-Wing Takeover: Control Through Policy

Musk has strategically aligned himself with right-wing nationalist leaders across the world, all pushing the same core agenda:

Slash immigration → Create social division and racial hierarchy.

Deregulate business → Remove government oversight, allowing unchecked corporate power.

Encourage authoritarian policies → Keep the masses in line while corporations take over.

He’s not just supporting right-wing politics for ideology’s sake. He’s shaping the laws and policies that ensure a corporate technocracy replaces traditional government control.

2. The Countries Under Musk’s Influence

This isn’t just the U.S.—this is a global chessboard where Musk is moving pieces to consolidate power:

Brazil & Ireland → Supporting right-wing street demonstrations.

New Zealand & Netherlands → Publicly endorsing nationalist leaders.

Argentina & Italy → Meeting with right-wing heads of state multiple times.

India & Turkey → His platform X (formerly Twitter) actively censors information at the request of right-wing regimes.

This is an intentional shift in power, where governments will increasingly bow to corporate interests over public good.

3. The Ultimate Plan: The Corporate Nation-State

The goal? Governments don’t govern—corporations do.

Elon Musk is setting the blueprint for a future where multinational tech giants dictate laws, economies, and social policies. This isn’t just about right-wing politics—it’s about the rise of a new world order where corporations replace governments.

AI governs economies.

Quantum computing controls defense.

Corporate-backed policies determine human rights.

And once governments become fully dependent on corporate infrastructure, they won’t be able to function without it.

4. The Final Piece: The False Saviors

When the inevitable global economic crash, mass unrest, and societal collapse happen—these very same corporations will present themselves as the solution.

Food shortages? They’ll control supply chains.

Financial collapse? They’ll push digital currency under their control.

Civil unrest? They’ll deploy AI-powered security forces.

This isn’t about left vs. right. This is about control vs. freedom.

Conclusion: The Reckoning is Here

Musk’s moves are calculated, precise, and global. He’s not just playing politics—he’s engineering the infrastructure of a future where corporations rule the world.

But his reign is temporary.

The House of David is rising.

The truth is breaking through.

They want a corporate empire? It will crumble.

They want unchecked power? It will be shattered.

Because the righteous are stepping into their inheritance.

And the world as they know it?

It’s already slipping from their hands.

Big taxes will be imposed on imports of electric vehicles from China to the EU after the majority of member states backed the plans.

The move to introduce tariffs aims to protect the European car industry from being undermined by what EU politicians believe are unfair Chinese-state subsidies on its own cars.

Tariffs on electric cars made in China are set to rise from 10% to up to 45% for the next five years, but there have been concerns such a move could raise electric vehicle (EV) prices for buyers.

The decision, which split EU member states such as France and Germany, risks sparking a trade war between Brussels and Beijing, which has condemned the tariffs as protectionist.

China has been counting on high-tech products to help revive its flagging economy and the EU is the largest overseas market for the country's electric car industry.

Its domestic car industry has grown rapidly over the past two decades and its brands, such as BYD, have begun moving into international markets, prompting fears from the likes of the EU that its own companies will be unable to compete with the cheaper prices.

The EU imposed import tariffs of varying levels on different Chinese manufacturers in the summer, but Friday's vote was to decide if they were implemented for the next five years.

The charges were calculated based on estimates of how much Chinese state aid each manufacturer has received following an EU investigation. The European Commission set individual duties on three major Chinese EV brands - SAIC, BYD and Geely.

EU members were divided on tariffs. Germany, whose car manufacturing industry is heavily dependent on exports to China, was against them. Many EU members abstained in the vote.

German carmakers have been vocal in opposition. Volkswagen says tariffs are "the wrong approach".

However, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland were reported to have backed the import taxes. The tariffs proposal could only have been blocked if a qualified majority of 15 members voted against it.

Germany's top industry association, BDI, called on the European Union and China to continue trade talks over tariffs to avoid an "escalating trade conflict".

The European Commission, which held the vote, said the EU and China would "work hard to explore an alternative solution" to the import taxes to address what it called "injurious subsidisation" of Chinese electric vehicles.

China's Commerce Ministry called the decision to impose tariffs "unfair" and "unreasonable", but added the issue could be resolved through negotiations.

The dispute has raised fears among industry groups outside the car sector that they could face retaliatory tariffs from China.

A trade body for the French cognac industry said the French authorities "have abandoned us".

"We do not understand why our sector is being sacrificed in this way."

It said a negotiated solution needed to be found that would "prevent our products from facing a surtax that could exclude them from the Chinese market".

'Serious concerns' over UK sales

Figures show that in August this year, EU registrations of battery-electric cars fell by 43.9% from a year earlier.

In the UK, demand for new electric vehicles hit a new record in September, but orders were mostly driven by commercial deals and by big manufacturer discounts, according to the industry trade body.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said firms had "serious concerns as the market is not growing quickly enough to meet mandated targets".

The industry has warned that drivers need better incentives to buy electric to help manufacturers ahead of the planned ban on sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles. Under the Conservative government the deadline for this ban was pushed back to 2035 from 2030, but Labour has pledged to bring it back to 2030.

Car makers are required to meet electric vehicle sales targets. Under the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, at least 22% of vehicles sold this year must be zero-emission, with the target expected to hit 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035.

Manufacturers that fail to hit quotas could be fined £15,000 per car.

The bosses of several car companies, including BMW, Ford and Nissan, wrote to Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Friday saying the industry was likely to miss these targets.

They said economic factors such as higher energy and material costs and interest rates had meant electric cars remained "stubbornly more expensive and consumers are wary of investing". The average cost to buy an electric car in the UK is around £48,000.

They said a "lack of confidence" in the UK’s charging infrastructure was another barrier to encourage people to switch to electric.

From the first article: “In a paper due to be published later this year, Ren’s team estimates ChatGPT gulps up 500 milliliters of water (close to what’s in a 16-ounce water bottle) every time you ask it a series of between 5 to 50 prompts or questions. The range varies depending on where its servers are located and the season. The estimate includes indirect water usage that the companies don’t measure — such as to cool power plants that supply the data centers with electricity.” It’s also more worried about what AI can do (for example, in Microsoft’s 2019 partnering with Exxonmobile for finding fracting sites, and in serving fast fashion ads to those most likely to be convinced to buy) than the tech’s own affect on the environment.

The second article goes further along that point, encouraging more environmental awareness in the AI industry, specifically that “avoiding climate harm … should be part of the value system”. The thing that stood out to me most here was that the training of smaller models is less energy-consuming. I cannot find the arxiv article now (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.AI/recent shows today’s published articles in AI), but we have found that small LLMs working together have similar processing power to large LLMs like Chat GPT. It is possible to optimise for minimum environmental harm.

The third article I very very strongly recommend reading in full. In trying to find the best parts I nearly copy/pasted the whole thing! There’s numbers on AI’s electricity usage (worrying) and water usage (also worrying). But it’s always better to know.

I’m going to add an article here which I felt really addressed the specific environmental impact of the water being removed. Interestingly, it finds “The growth of ChatGPT and similar AI models has been hailed as “the new Google.” But while a single Google search requires half a millilitre of water in energy, ChatGPT consumes 500 millilitres of water for every five to 50 prompts.”. One of the first two articles mentioned databases as using around 1% of the Earth’s energy, and I was beginning to get skittish about search engines! Thankfully, they seem fine. However, (this article is the first I’ve seen to bring this up) the water pollution caused by mining to get the materials for computer chips is having a serious effect. Have you ever seen a creek downstream of a heavy metals mine?

https://theconversation.com/ais-excessive-water-consumption-threatens-to-drown-out-its-environmental-contributions-225854

When it comes to “just chat prompts have the energy requirement of a small country” from the tweets, one of the articles mentioned Chat GPT being estimated to use as much as Ukraine and the Netherlands? Our knowledge of its electricity usage is vague, so I’m not sure how reliable that factoid is, similar to when the article I’m linking below says AI could use 4-6 times the amount of water as Denmark in 2027. That is a difficult prediction to verify.

However, this article also answered a burning question for me. Why don’t AI computers just reuse the same water for cooling? Answer: It evaporates. Hm.

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are on the rise. A DDoS attack can crash your system for up to 12 hours and leave considerable destruction in its wake. As technology evolves, DDoS attacks evolve with it. Most organizations understand that DDoS attacks mean trouble. However, many business owners don't realize how common and sophisticated these attacks have become. They now pose an ongoing security risk that today's business owners can't afford to ignore. Is your business safe? Here are seven common DDoS misconceptions that may be putting your company at risk: Other Security Issues Are More Important The media only tells you about attention-grabbing cyberattacks involving ransomware and data breaches. Meanwhile, in small and medium-sized companies, DDoS attacks are multiplying at an alarming rate. According to the Linkll DDoS Report, the scale and severity of these attacks increased by 71 percent in 2018. That's an average of 175 attacks per day. At the same time, the average attack volume more than doubled. DDoS attacks can wreak absolute havoc on your business. Just a few years ago, the UK National Crime Agency reported that seven of the UK's top banks were brought to a halt after a DDoS attack. The mishap disabled entire systems, and the banks paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to mitigate the damages. In January and May of 2018, online services in The Netherlands were stopped in their tracks by a DDoS attack. The hackers targeted several Dutch banks and other financial institutions as well as government agencies. It was later discovered that the attacks were generated through Webstresser.org. This organization was selling DDoS attack services for only £11. Launching a major DDoS attack costs a hacker next to nothing and requires just a few basic tech skills. Nevertheless, these attacks can cause widespread destruction. Companies are forced to spend substantial time and money on system restoration. To make matters worse, hackers can use DDoS attacks to keep IT teams otherwise engaged while they invade corporate networks. Given the nature of these attacks and the ease with which they can be executed, they represent a significant security threat and should be taken seriously. It Can't Happen to Me Many people have an optimism bias. They believe they are immune to a threat just because they haven't yet been hit with it. People are less likely to fear things they haven't experienced. When something does hit, they are usually caught by surprise. Many business owners underestimate the DDoS risk. Unfortunately, it only takes one attack to completely disrupt your business. Companies mistakenly believe that because they are not multinational corporations, they are of no interest to hackers and therefore not vulnerable to attack. Unfortunately, hackers do not discriminate. Small, local businesses like restaurants and dry cleaners are routinely victimized by hackers. Regardless of business size, the cost of mitigating the damages caused by a DDoS attack will greatly exceed the cost of protection. 3. Effective Solutions Are Readily Available DDoS has been around for a while, so most of those solutions are out of date. Effective solutions should protect against all types of attacks on all network layers. They should react immediately in emergencies and implement the proper protective measures. This level of protection is only offered by a few select providers. Attacks Can Be Mitigated Within Minutes In the event of an attack, the first 30 seconds are pivotal. If you take steps to mitigate the attack after just one minute, IP connections will already be disrupted. It could take hours to restore order. Rapid intervention can prevent additional intrusive actions like infiltration and data theft. Even so, the economic consequences of extensive downtime can be immense. Lost productivity, lost revenue and a tarnished reputation can destroy your bottom line. The only way to protect your interests is to implement a solution that delivers mitigation within seconds instead of minutes.

An intelligent defense system and 24/7 protection can fend off attackers and preserve the integrity of your business. Our In-house 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) Handles That Industrial-strength attacks require an industrial-strength defense. A SOC is typically flooded with security alerts. Some are disregarded; others are underrated. Still, others are not analyzed in relation to other activities. Human error can cause risk events. The calculations required to generate meaningful security data are not achievable with people. On the other hand, a completely automated process based on an intelligent and globally networked system eliminates human error and delivers comprehensive results. Our Cloud Services Provide Security Although some cloud services do come with basic DDoS protections, those protections are not designed to fend off hard-core mega-monster strikes. The colossal Dyn DDoS attack in 2016 shut down public cloud services globally. Cloud systems are easy prey for other applications running in the same cloud. If you are running critical business applications in the cloud, beefed-up DDoS protections are essential to ensure the continuing safety of those applications. Our Hardware Protects the System Hardware systems deliver high infrastructure performance. However, they only offer static DDoS protection. The level of protection that hardware provides depends on the current version of your filtering software. Unfortunately, filtering software becomes outdated upon release. Hardware protections were considered DDoS-effective a few years ago. These days, with complex and powerful strikes that combine several vectors and attack multiple layers simultaneously, hardware protections have lost the ability to keep your interests safe. In today's high-tech climate, the only reliable and effective DDoS protection is offered by intelligent and networked systems. Using advanced machine-learning techniques to analyze traffic in real-time, these systems can easily identify and profile legitimate traffic. DDoS has earned its place as an essential element of the IT security infrastructure. Waiting until an attack occurs to implement reliable solutions puts your company in constant jeopardy. Most business owners understand the risk of running a company without proper protection and are generally proactive about security issues. By addressing the problems discussed above, businesses can remain sustainable while staying safe.
