Plain-English Summary
The proposal would support the development and adoption of smart city technology—systems that use data and digital tools to improve urban services like traffic flow, energy use, and public safety. It would likely provide funding, set standards, and coordinate efforts across federal agencies to help cities implement these technologies while addressing concerns about privacy, cybersecurity, and equitable access for all residents. The bill affects city governments, technology companies, workers in tech and infrastructure fields, and urban residents who would benefit from or be impacted by these smart systems.
