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.
Driverless transport isn’t simply a faraway dream. In fact, it’s already happening in innovative cities like Arlington, Texas, US and Kelheim, Germany.
Cities and transport authorities across the globe are using intelligent booking, routing and tracking software to seamlessly integrate autonomous vehicles (AVs) with existing transportation infrastructure across a wide variety of transport needs without sacrificing safety, equity or efficiency.
When deployed as part of public transport, AVs are more sustainable and accessible; and when designed and deployed efficiently, AVs can provide a useful service for riders, while enabling operators and automakers to maximise their autonomous investment.
Hear from our panel as they discuss these innovative partnerships in detail.
Speakers:
- Ann Foss, Principal Planner at the City of Arlington
- Jan Eller, Operations Principal at Via
- Meghan Grela, Autonomous Lead at Via
Join us to learn how to convene the right partners, secure funding, and start deploying AVs to meet real transport needs in your community.
Incorporating the third regional seminar on Weigh-In-Motion, this year’s conference theme is Addressing the new normal and the future of transport. Now in its 40th year the conference will unpack policy, strategy and technology applications for all aspects and modes of transportation. Delegates can look forward to hearing from global transport experts, learning from cutting-edge research papers and networking with southern Africa’s top transport professionals.
