The ITS Congress is the biggest event focused on smart mobility and the digitalisation of transport. Every year, ERTICO organises an ITS regional or World Congress in Europe. The Congresses are the yearly celebration of smart mobility: they 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 policy makers, experts and the general public. They include live sessions where industry experts present the latest developments in ITS, a showcase of cutting-edge technology and an exhibition space.

The Congresses offer stakeholders and patrons the ultimate platform to meet with industry influencers, discuss ideas and initiatives, make new contacts and promote their businesses by taking part in a range of activities.

13th Metropolis World Congress
Nov 8 – Nov 13 all-day

Metropolis

The year 2020 has witnessed a collective response of cities worldwide to the critical challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a short time, mayors and city leaders have had to confront new challenges in their communities on top of existing ones, including urban growth, inequality, segregation, access to services, public legitimacy, digital disruption, and resilience.

Mayors and city managers can no longer work alone. The impact of cities goes far beyond municipal borders, and answers to these challenges require being forward-looking, adaptable and establish spaces of coordination among different administrations and levels of government.

In this spirit, Metropolis and Guangzhou send an open invitation to be part of the 13th Metropolis World Congress during 8-13 November 2021, a unique moment to move ahead with novel solutions that will transform cities and metropolitan areas.

Under the theme: “Metropolises and cities in transformation: Rethinking our future together,” the Congress will be an exceptional opportunity for the metropolitan ecosystem to build collectively actionable strategies, get inspirational ideas, and debate on how to implement projects and policies to transform global cities and metropolitan spaces in the long term.

What’s on

Inspiring debates on metropolitan trends and projections, discussions on strategies for urban innovation, the prestigious Guangzhou Award Ceremony, and the Global Mayors’ Forum are just some of the different sessions to look forward to.

Who will attend?

Political leaders, city managers, public officials, urban experts, representatives from international organizations and civil society will share their insights, knowledge, and best practices to move towards more caring and sustainable societies.
