This is the third edition of a webinar series organised by the EU project SPACE4Cities. The goal of the webinar series is to increase awareness about the potential of space technologies for cities, communities and regions in Europe, provide information on opportunities that space-based technologies could offer to them and explore successful use cases where such technologies are applied to solve cities’ challenges.
The webinar will be recorded and made available to registered participants after the webinar. See the full agenda below. People of all backgrounds, ages and interests are welcome.
Event details
Urban mobility is a crucial backbone of every city and region as it enables people and goods to move around the city and determines how effectively services can be accessed by their residents. Urban mobility encompasses all modes of transport beyond the car and typically includes walking, cycling, and public transportation to shared mobility services and logistics.
The quality and effectiveness of urban mobility that a city offers have a great impact on the quality of life of every resident. Therefore many cities and urban areas prioritise planning of transportation infrastructure and mobility services to ensure they are more sustainable, accessible and affordable to every resident.
This session provides case studies and examples of how cities are leveraging solutions based on satellite technologies, AI and other advances to ensure that adequate mobility infrastructure and services can be provided. The topics covered include the design of low-emission zones, deeper insights into the management of car use and parking across cities and the improvement of cycling infrastructure.
