An indispensable event for cities and urban innovation in the Covid era
Smart City Live: What cities should do in the new normal scenario?
The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on the outlook of the urban coat and is forcing city officials to rethink urban development to adapt to coronavirus risks and fears.
To talk through the variety of ways that cities around the world are coping with this new scenario, Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) will hold on November 17-18 an innovative edition under the name Smart City Live (#SCLive2020). Organised by Fira de Barcelona, this year’s summit presents a unique two-day digital experience aimed at providing cities with a global new tool for business and knowledge.
Accurate content will be broadcast from Barcelona to the world through the event’s website and also through social media in a new virtual and interactive format comprising two different blocks. The first one (17/11) consists of a full-day live television show with interviews, debates, reports, success cases and parallel sessions. The second one (18/11) features online workshops and side events.
The flagship event Smart City Expo World Congress as we knew it before the pandemic will be back in 2021.
Societal changes and the climate emergency are prompting us to reinvent the way we move and the impact of our mobility choices.
This issue is now at the heart of the challenges facing public decision-makers driven by more sustainable and intelligent innovations.
The transition to sustainable mobility will not happen without public actors and solution providers moving forward together to allow access to mobility in accordance with citizens’ needs and the need to limit its impact. Intermodality driven by MaaS, the structuring and use of data, new modes of mobility and the transformation of historical players are all avenues of reflection for all public and private players in the mobility ecosystem.
Join us on February 1st for the Sustainable Mobility Forum and pave the way for a more intelligent, efficient and inclusive mobility!
ERTICO – ITS Europe and Toulouse Métropole will proudly host the European ITS Congress in the Centre of Toulouse, from 30 May to 1 June 2022. The event will take place at the newly built Exhibition and Conference Centre MEETT – conveniently located near the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. The ITS Congresses underline the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), particularly in cities and regions where they are hosted and are important channels to raise awareness of smart mobility solutions among policymakers, experts and the general public.
The ITS Congresses also represent the ultimate showcase of mobility services deployment and are the means for the ITS Community to keep pace with the incredible evolution of the industry. Over the years, the European Congresses have offered a platform for thought leaders, developers, entrepreneurs and decision-makers from the transport, logistics and IT industries to share ideas and progress smart and sustainable mobility.
The 14th edition of the ITS European Congress in Toulouse 2022 invites organisations from the broad spectrum of the ITS ecosystem to play a role in the ongoing development of smart mobility. The Congress Programme offers delegates an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the latest ITS technologies and new mobility concepts. Experts, researchers, policymakers, solutions providers from the mobility sectors (and beyond) are invited to submit contributions for various sessions to share innovative ideas and lessons learnt, discuss mobility challenges that cities face today, and address them through ITS solutions.
