This publication provides a Strategic Plan for the Smart City Infrastructure (SCI) program of the Communications Technology Laboratory at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the research laboratory of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The SCI program manages the Global Community Technology Challenge (GCTC), a nationwide public-private partnership of cities and communities; local and state government agencies; and private-sector for-profit and non-profit entities.
This strategy is based on a consensus planning process chartered by the NIST SCI program in collaboration with the leadership of twelve GCTC technology sectors (i.e., working groups), who collectively represent over 220 regions, cities and communities that have initiated smart city programs or projects as GCTC member communities. +
The goal of the workshop series was to generate a community-focused perspective aligned with and in support of the federally led NIST Smart City Infrastructure program. The specific objective of the meetings was to solicit GCTC leadership input to articulate vision and mission statements as well as to identify forward looking goals and activities for the volunteer organization to inform a community-based strategy for the GCTC, as well as smart and connected communities across the nation. +
Today’s leaders face profound and complex challenges, such as climate change, conflict and artificial intelligence, and must make decisions that affect the lives of their followers. In this changing world, it is crucial for leaders to understand the reasons people follow them.
Gallup’s latest study, based on surveys conducted in 52 countries, builds on decades of our research into what people need from their leaders. More than anything, the data confirm that followers need a sense of hope from their leaders. Trust is the second most important need, followed by compassion, then stability. These four needs are consistent, irrespective of country, demographics or the type of leader in question. These needs are also linked to wellbeing: The more needs leaders meet, the more suffering is reduced. +

It is now certain that even the Covid-19 pandemic did not stop the rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: it just paused it. +
