Langley City has been named a Smart21 Community of 2026, becoming a semi-finalist in the selection of the Intelligent Community of the Year Award.
The annual award is organized by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), and this is the second year running that Langley City has received the Smart21 designation.
According to the ICF, becoming an intelligent community comes from projects like deploying broadband network and digital services, engaging the community, sparking innovation, and helping the offline population benefit from the online economy.
“This recognition reflects the work we are doing to build a connected, inclusive city where people and businesses can thrive,” said Mayor Nathan Pachal. “By investing in innovation and community‑informed decision‑making, we’re supporting local businesses today while creating the conditions that attract new opportunities in the future.”
Other cities in the running include Reykjavik, Iceland; Tempe, Ariz.; Parramatta, Australia; Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain; and Brightlands-Limburg, the Netherlands.
