Smart cities continue to be discussed throughout Europe as a result of the continent's rising urbanization and the need for sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly promote this shift by assisting cities in becoming more effective, sustainable, and receptive to the requirements of their residents. This study examines the potential and difficulties of AI in urban development and presents a framework for incorporating AI into city planning and management. This study evaluates the advantages of AI in fostering public involvement, reducing costs, and enhancing city services, as well as the potential challenges related to data privacy, ethics, and socioeconomic imbalance. It does this by using examples from European cities. This study presents a set of ethical and inclusive AI criteria, such as transparency, inclusion, and accountability, to enable responsible AI research and implementation. It continues by emphasizing the need for efficient AI integration in smart cities and pushing for a holistic AI-enabled transition to inclusive and sustainable smart cities.

According to United Nations statistics for 2019, the number of people aged 65 or over is projected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. The global trend of population ageing will place pressure on countries in terms of infrastructure, social security, health care, public policy, and innovation in mindsets. Simultaneously, the development of digital technology has led to a variety of lifestyles and cognitive transformations that are not as widespread among the older population. In these challenging times, the need to reduce the gap between older adults and digital technology has become a crucial social issue, and Social Innovation, as the vital opportunity to solve intractable social problems, needs to be leveraged to address broader issues. This paper explores new approaches to social innovation in the digital technology age, based on the context of age-friendly community transitions. Through an analysis of digital practices in ageing communities, a process framework is proposed that provides a pathway for communities to become age-friendly and liveable, and enhance the quality of life of older residents, enabling them to become more involved in community development and resulting in sustainable improvements in their living environment.

In the 1950s and 60s, the Czechoslovak government prioritised heavy industry and energy, relying heavily on brown coal. The largest coal deposits were in the Ore Mountains foothills, and mining was the only activity in these areas, damaging the environment, the built environment, social structures, and public health. Mining was incentivised, increasing the quantity of coal mined and leading to overburdening. In the 1970s, the craze for coal was in full swing as cities were swallowed up one after another. Not even the royal City of Most was spared devastation. Once mining operations were conducted, the historic centre of Most was obliterated to expose over 85 million tons of coal. Soon after, the City of Most was subjected to mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR), but planners envisioned the new city as a model of sustainability. The city shrank, affecting its social and cultural aspects and causing the loss of historical heritage and local communities due to migration and landscape development. Consequently, it led to total ecological destabilisation, elimination of aesthetic values and reduced recreational potential in the City of Most. Therefore, the post-mining city is now called "landscapes without a memory". Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twin (DT) offer architects and planners new ways to collaborate with stakeholders, users, and other professionals. Immersive experiences have changed how ideas are presented and provide avenues for development. This research proposes a framework for using technology applications as a public participation tool to communicate development ideas and strategies for reclaiming the built environment of the resettled City of Most, Czech Republic, in line with sustainable development.

Digital twin technology is often overlooked in early architectural design stages, with most studies focusing on final applications and performance evaluation. Our research bridges this gap by exploring hybrid prototypes, combining digital and physical models enriched with sensors by a "foetal" digital twin during conceptual design, representing the eventual "adult" version. Physical twins collect data, while digital twins simulate and optimize within these prototypes. We utilize a foetal physical twin collecting and transmitting data for a more sustainable architectural design process.

In industrial environments, maintenance technologies developed under Industry 5.0 are important to ensure trouble-free production and reduce downtime. Compressed Air Systems (CASs) are an integral part of industrial production processes and require competent and correct maintenance. Maintenance personnel should be equipped with continuous and up-to-date training and their knowledge should be tested. There is a significant gap in the field of interactive educational games to improve the technical skills of the care staff, especially in the field of CAS. This research proposes a theoretical framework for a game based on Extended Reality (XR) technologies adapted for CAS maintenance training. The game leverages the trio of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) to provide immersive and interactive learning encounters aimed at improving technical proficiency, problem-solving skills, and safety awareness among maintenance workers. The aim is to take advantage of the rewards of game-oriented learning, such as enhanced user engagement and knowledge absorption, to increase the effectiveness of training. In this context, the CAS game framework was created with three frameworks: education, game, and CAS. The study concludes by highlighting the potential benefits, research areas, and technologies that underpin the proposed structure.

This article investigates the phenomenon of mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR) in post-mining cities, specifically focusing on Most City in the Czech Republic. Post-mining cities often face challenges associated with population decline, ageing infrastructure, and a lack of economic opportunities. To address these challenges, some cities have implemented urban relocation programs to consolidate populations and resources in more sustainable locations. However, the effectiveness of such programs needs to be better understood. This article presents the case study of Most City to explore the dynamics of MIDR of post-mining cities. Drawing on interviews with city officials, residents, and experts, as well as a review of relevant literature, the article identifies the key drivers and challenges of MIDR in the context of Most City. The paper also evaluates the outcomes of the relocation program in terms of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Ultimately, this article discusses that MIDR can be a viable strategy for post-mining cities, provided that it is implemented in a manner that caters to the specific needs and challenges of each city, with the aid of digital technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI).
