Exploring Public Transport System Innovations
Best practices and learnings from innovations in public transport.
This session will feature the participation of our global partner KPTM Spain.
Optimizing Bicycle-Bus Combination in Public Networks – an Operator’s Perspective
Optimizing Bicycle-Bus combination in public networks. An operator’s perspective.
Integrating shared bicycle services into the bus public transport network has many advantages: One of them being that it offers to the user a coherent, integrated and more sustainable mobility solution, by facilitating users’ access to services while optimizing management and operating costs.
Challenges and Opportunities for Public Transport in Central and Eastern Europe
A focused dialogue on the experiences and insights from Central and Eastern European cities.
Costs and Benefits of the Urban Mobility Transition in Europe
This session explores the transition to sustainable urban mobility in Europe by 2030 and 2050. Such exercise is done through the MOMOS model, which estimates several transport, environment, and economic indicators. The simulation of potential scenarios shows CO2emission reductions to reach the Green Deal objectives, changes in mobility behaviour, fleet decarbonization pathways, as well as the costs linked to the deployment of packages of sustainable mobility measures, with a special focus on public transport.
Measuring and Promoting Active Mobility
Panel debate on actions to improve active mobility.
Planning for Active Mobility in Cities
A discussion on designing cities for walkability and cycling.
Towards the Symbiosis of Active and New Micromobility
This Solution Talk looks into the differences in needs and expectations between users of active and new micromobility modes, including pedestrians, cyclists and pmd users. It will highlight challenges of interaction and show ways to overcome these. The storyline will be underpinned by insights from recent user surveys in the city of Barcelona.
How are European cities coping with gas restrictions?
The EU has been forced to reconsider its energy production model. This crisis has not been as bad as it could have been, but things may change in the near future, and Europe could be facing anxious times in terms of energy supplies.
Smart City Expo and Tomorrow Editions Abroad: A Global Conversation Throughout the Year
Smart City Expo is an ongoing conversation, with different editions taking place in different cities around the world throughout the year. The ideas, conversations, meetings and business opportunities happening in Barcelona this week will continue and expand with abroad editions that will take root in their own local contexts. Thanks to the various partners who commit to being part of the global SCE movement, our impact on the progress of cities and the quality of urban life is deepening every year, as more and more editions become members of this growing family of events. This session will bring together representatives from the editions that will take place in the coming year to learn from their expectations and results of hosting the event in their cities, and how their own Smart City Expo edition can support their most impactful projects these cities are pursuing.
Beyond Access: Emerging Tech for Inclusive City Living
The future of inclusive city living relies on leveraging the latest technological tools to enhance affordability, inclusivity, and access in urban areas. Cities are increasingly embracing diversity, ensuring fairness, and fostering social cohesion through tech-driven solutions. However, as the urban landscape evolves, challenges like the digital divide and systemic inequalities persist. Can technology successfully bridge these gaps and create truly inclusive cities?
