CIVILNET: "Reinventing Yerevan through technology,” 10/9/2024, https://lnkd.in/e67G6UMw "In this interview, Hazem Galal, PwC's global leader on Smart Cities and AI, shares his expertise on how Yerevan can harness cutting-edge technologies to transform into a more liveable, efficient, and sustainable urban center. This conversation provides a compelling vision of Yerevan's potential future, where ancient history and modern innovation converge to create a city that's not just smart, but also deeply attuned to the needs of its citizens.”

The more I see large buildings made into museums, the more I think the actual museum could occupy a fraction of the square footage and whatever street- or common area-facing real estate could become entrepreneurial spaces, incubators, low rent studios or any use that promotes innovation and would benefit both the buildibg and the local ecosystem.

🌊 Reimagining urban living on water! 🌍 Imagine cities that don't fight water, but float with it. At Blue21, we're not just dreaming—we're engineering the future of climate-resilient urban development. Our founder Rutger de Graaf just shared our vision at VriThink's Night Out: transforming how humanity lives with rising seas and changing landscapes. From small-scale floating projects to large-scale sustainable developments, we're turning climate challenges into innovative solutions. Key highlights: ☑️ Floating cities that adapt, not just survive ☑️ Sustainable energy and food production on water ☑️UN and IPCC-recognized approach to urban resilience Watch Rutger's Pecha Kucha presentation to dive deeper into the Blue Revolution: 📽️ https://lnkd.in/dM6ndT8b *️⃣ https://lnkd.in/dxJG6R4A Blue Revolution Foundation INDYMO #FloatingCities #FloatingUrbanism #ClimateInnovation #SustainableDevelopment #FloatingFuture #UrbanResilience

Final preparations are underway for this session - excited to 'pick the brains' of some of the best examples of how to implement new technology in a more risk-tolerant way for the public sector. If you'll be in Raleigh, let me know and let's connect! Smart Cities Connect

Every few months, we organize unique activities to raise happiness, connection, and teamwork within our company. This time, I had the pleasure of organizing our Vienna Treasure Hunt, an adventure packed with exploration, problem-solving, and team spirit. It was a funny day that not only brought us closer but also reminded us why we value happiness at work. At SpeedPox, everyone has the chance to lead these events, helping to build awareness and organizational skills. It’s a simple but powerful way to show that when people feel good, they work better. After all, we spend a third of our day at work. Feeling excited to come in should be a must, not a privilege! #TeamHappiness #ViennaTreasureHunt #BuildingConnection #EmployeeEngagement #TeamAdventure #HappyAtWork

Last week several of my colleagues and I attended the ICSC Open Air Center Conference, which is one of the top events of the year in my opinion.  Below are a few key takeaways. 1.     Retail sector performance is experiencing a secular change, rather than a cyclical shift 2.     Construction and tenant improvement costs are stressing proformas 3.     Retailer expansion plans remain robust with increasing pressure on lease rates and terms 4.     Investor underwriting increasingly reflects sector conviction 5.     Landlord and Retailer relationships increasingly critical to constructive deal-making.
