Editorial Building the Nation’s New Tech Hubs
The recently passed CHIPS and Science Act looks to harness the innovation from the coastal hubs of Silicon Valley and Seattle and expand that to other communities across the nation. These regional hubs will bring new opportunities and jobs while reestablishing the United States as a powerhouse in chip production. How can these regional hubs go from theory to reality? And how will these new hubs impact local governments?

Tech Spotlight
Front line responders put themselves at risk every day, and often without a full picture of the situation. The ability to survey the scene of a fire without putting a life on the line could bring about a new era in emergency response. In this special rebroadcast from Future Cities we reintroduce one city’s use of drones to protect their residents — and their first responders.

Sponsored Delivering Empathetic Service with Technology
In this session, we will take a look at cloud-based technologies available to help government agencies deliver more empathetic services to constituents. Government agencies recognize that seamless, efficient and connected services are a critical component to rebuild pride and trust in government. But legacy systems remain a major obstacle. And it’s impossible for agencies to meet the increasing demands for public services and information by scaling their workforce. Advancements in cloud technology make it easier for agencies to deliver experiences similar to what consumers experience in the private sector, including scalability, reliability, security and even – digital empathy.

In this spotlight, Col. Ty Shepard talks about the California Military Department's Cyber Incident Response Team — and how similar practices can better secure agencies across the nation.

Closing Interview
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has spurred a new commitment to electric vehicles in the United States. It also led to the creation of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to facilitate collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Transportation and, ultimately, ensure the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. In this closing interview, we explore how the Joint Office will empower state and local governments to embrace EVs and EV infrastructure.
