The city is advancing renewable energy with nearby solar and wind facilities and an urban district heating network.

Governed by a mayor and a 40-member city council, Thiamm is divided into eight districts. Local policy emphasizes urban renewal, education, and environmental sustainability. The city hosts several universities and research institutes, as well as cultural venues such as theaters, museums, and galleries.
