Technology transfer is a bridge between knowledge and economic progress. Despite its importance, the urban scaling laws of technology transfer remain poorly understood, with limited exploration of their historical network evolution. Here we construct 166-year technology transfer networks for US cities. We find that technology transfers exhibit superlinear scaling with the scaling exponents ranked as intracity transfer > intercity transfer-in > intercity transfer-out. The evolution of the technology transfer network includes a nationwide space-filling process, a hierarchical structure among cities and functional polycentricity within cities. These dynamics have evolved in tandem, each tightly linked to the growth of scaling exponents. Our findings complement insights into the relationship between scaling laws and network evolution, validate the mechanisms of local and nonlocal knowledge interactions and provide new support for the evolutionary theory of complex urban systems. Li and co-authors investigate the urban scaling laws of technology transfer in US cities, charting historical dynamics of the innovation landscape since 1858 and the emergence of new technologies and networks within and between cities.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"2 4","pages":"316-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145123445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we investigate how elite wealth scales with urban population size across culture and time by analyzing ancient Roman and modern cities. Using Bayesian models to address archeological uncertainties, we uncovered a consistent correlation between population size and physical expressions of elite wealth in urban spaces. These patterns suggest the presence of an ancient, enduring mechanism underlying urban inequality. Supported by an agent-based network simulation and informed by the settlement scaling theory, we propose that the observed patterns arise from common preferential attachment in social networks—a simple, yet powerful, driver of unequal access to interaction potential. Our findings open up new directions in urban scaling research and underscore the importance of understanding long-term urban dynamics to chart a course toward a fairer urban future. This study carries out a scaling analysis comparing the elite wealth concentration of ancient Roman cities with modern urban centers. It found that increased wealth concentration corresponds with increased population sizes across these cities despite being separated by millennia.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"2 4","pages":"344-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-025-00213-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145123446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how, or to what extent, a warming climate will impact urban fire frequency remains unknown. Here we quantify the shift in the frequency of various urban fire incident types in response to a warming climate using a global fire incidents database collected from 2,847 cities. We find that the frequency of building fires increases quadratically, and the minimum occurs at thermal comfort temperature (that is, around 24.0 °C), while for every 1 °C increase in air temperature, the frequencies of vehicle and outdoor fires increase by (2.5 ± 0.8)% (mean ± standard error) and (4.7 ± 2.2)%, respectively. In the SSP5-8.5 scenario by 2100, we project that building fire frequencies could decrease by (4.6 ± 1.1)%, while vehicle and outdoor fires could increase by (11.6 ± 3.7)% and (22.2 ± 10.2)%, respectively. These findings can guide the development of climate-resilient strategies by providing quantitative advice on allocating and reallocating budgets for national fire services across cities. Although urban fire incidents cause enormous casualties due to dense population concentrations, the risks from these incidents under a warming climate remain unknown. This study analyzed a global database of urban fire incidents to quantify and predict changes in the frequency of various urban fire incident types in response to a warming climate, finding general increases in fire frequency.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"2 3","pages":"254-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of this qualitative systematic review is that it includes policy documents and reports as well as academic papers to interrogate the state of both smart city knowledge and smart city practice in the region. The review identified five research themes, namely, (1) the social development promises of the smart city, (2) institutionalizing smart city governance, (3) smart cities and digital citizenship, (4) smart city (as) infrastructure and (5) approaches to ‘smarting’ the city. The study shows that, for a comprehensive agenda on smart city research, more attention should be given to smart city projects and the impacts of digitalization and datafication, but it also finds that more considered local and governance-oriented lenses for such agendas are necessary if they are to be relevant to the Southern African Development Community region. This study is a systematic review that combines both academic and policy sources to assess the state of smart cities in the Southern African Development Community. It found five major themes that call for a more nuanced approach to smart city governance that accounts for local variations.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"2 2","pages":"149-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, urban forests are vulnerable to climate change and face costly establishment and maintenance challenges. Here we explore four key ecological and socioeconomic barriers to achieving resilient urban forests: species selection, tree supply, tree life cycle (establishment and maintenance, including irrigation) and community engagement. We discuss how integrating traditional urban forestry practices with emerging technology offers a holistic approach to creating resilient, sustainable urban forests that can adapt to climate change while meeting community needs. Forests help to sustain cities and all who live in them.
