The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University $115,029 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and deliver cybertraining curriculum and workforce development in AI-enabled urban informatics and smart city innovation. The CITY-AI project will develop 16 training modules and conduct webinars, workshops, and summer schools to train more than 1,500 students, researchers, educators, and practitioners across urban-related fields including geography, urban planning, and social sciences. The curriculum comprises four connected components: core cyberinfrastructure skills introducing high-performance computing and national computing resource access; urban data analytics covering fine-grained spatiotemporal, large-scale, and streaming data analysis; machine learning and AI methods for urban applications; and cyberinfrastructure-enabled urban science addressing policy, ethics, and community engagement in smart city systems. The project addresses a documented skill gap among urban informatics professionals who lack cyberinfrastructure, AI, and data analytics capabilities needed to leverage emerging sensor networks, transportation systems, satellite data, and mobile device information for urban management in transportation, infrastructure, public health, emergency response, and other domains. Performance occurs at Blacksburg, Virginia. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2029.
