SEVEN STRATEGIC ENABLERS FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY GROWTH:

Public Transport

Public Transport

The COVID pandemic proved the immense importance of public services and made it clear that cities need to keep investing in public transport and intermodal formulas to achieve sustainability. In some cases that implies public-private partnerships that need to be articulated. How can cities develop new business models and leverage technologies such as blockchain to foster responsive and sustainable public transport?

Micromobility

Micromobility

During the last couple of years of COVID, many cities have experienced a rise in active modes of transport such as cycling and walking, not to mention the use of e-scooters, which are to be regulated in many places. What are the challenges posed by micromobility? Is this a trend that will remain in the New Normal?

Automotive

Autonomous Vehicles

Technology is there: Autonomous vehicles are definitely coming into focus this year as different levels of automation are hitting showrooms. Yet in many cities, regulation is still falling behind and important challenges related to batteries, charging solutions and the relationship with other vehicles need to be meet. How can cities harness self-driving technology to develop truly intelligent transport systems?

Last Mile Logistics

Last Mile Logistics

With global ecommerce jumping to $26.7 trillion and the global last mile delivery market to reach USD 62.7 billion by 2027, cities need to find innovative solutions to deal with last mile logistics. Are autonomous robots the ultimate solution for last-mile deliveries? How can cities avoid increasing pollution and parking problems when managing last-mile delivery fleets? Is there a one-size-fits-all solution?

Future & Digital Transportation

Future & Digital Transportation

Drones, Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL)… The future of urban mobility could be played out up in the air. Yet we might lose sight of this upwards aspiration in the bustle of everyday life. What are the challenges that cities need to meet to develop this third dimension of urban mobility? What the technologies and business models to be developed?

Transport Infrastructure

Transport Infrastructure

Transport infrastructure is a critical urban ingredient as it supports personal well-being and economic growth. Yet developing road and rail infrastructural projects, above and below ground, needs to be linked to low carbon mobility plans with safety and sustainability as top priorities. What do cities need to prioritize responding to citizens’ needs?

Energy Transition & Efficiency

Energy Transition & Efficiency

The dynamics are reverberating globally. Energy prices are surging and impacting mobility. Cities need to take a holistic approach to tackle this energy crisis and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy. How can they foster mobility solutions critical to this transition? How can cross-industry collaboration and public-private partnerships help develop this new ecosystem?
