Public and Private Collaboration to Create Better Future Transport Systems for Cities

With ever decreasing budgets, greater citizen expectations, social inequality challenges, and the pressure cities are facing with the climate emergency, the role of transport to support economic growth and further supporting healthier cities, there needs to be a transformative shift on how cities work with the market to move to sustainable collaborative partnerships and avoid low-level transactional activity.

Rikesh Shah, a global leader on open innovation will make the case on how cities can shape markets and work in collaboration to develop innovative solutions to achieve better, cheaper and quicker public policy outcomes. He previously led Open Innovation at Transport for London.

If you are a public body or an innovative start-up, academic, venture capitalists or accelerator, listen to Rikesh’s challenge to all of us.

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.

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.

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?
