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.
