Spotlight on 'Cloud City' From BRICS Urban Future Forum, in Moscow
The forum, described on its website as a leading global platform, is setting the development agenda for BRICS cities — and beyond.
Over 40 mayors from BRICS megacities are attending the September 17–18 event.
A Sputnik correspondent is on-site — here’s what stood out:
🟠AI-controlled robot dogs responding to commands like "sit" or "shake."
🟠Humanoid robots, powered by AI, engaging directly with visitors.
🟠Robotic prosthetics and an exoskeleton designed to restore mobility for paralyzed individuals.
Among the participants are prominent African officials, including:
Durban Mayor Cyril Xaba
Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume
Nairobi Deputy Governor Njoroge Muchiri
Attendees are examining in depth the technological innovations that will underpin the “cloud city” — envisioned as the foundation for the next generation of smart urban development.
