Virtual Transport Transition Summit
The Transport Transition Summit will be held virtually from the 11th to 12th May, bringing together key stakeholders committed to transforming the transport sector. Transportation underpins our society, connecting people, cities, economies fostering growth and employment. Yet as millions of us move within and between cities and countries every single day, transport accounts for 25% of global emissions. With global trade and travel swelling to meet the demands of a growing consumer population, a business-as-usual trajectory in the transport sector would see emissions rocket further. Action is needed now across all asset classes, full value chains and lifecycles. Register today to connect with a growing network of over 1,500 transport, energy and policy professionals mapping the next phase of the transport transition.
Place Matters: How Cities Can Compete in the Next Future of Work Paradigm
Featuring the City of Wellington, New Zealand, and the Cognizant Center for the Future of Work. As we move through 2021 and emerge from the pandemic, one question continues to pop up: “Where is the next future of work?” The Fourth Industrial Revolution was already reshaping global economics and requiring new talents, skills and attitudes when the pandemic hit. As the world takes stock of the ripple effects of everything from social distancing, remote work, layoffs, and the future of business, cities that are hotbeds of innovation and new ideas as well as affordable and livable, will be places that people gravitate to. Over time, we will see that the jobs of the future will happen in places of the future. https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6997870756144305422?mc_cid=10c6d0df82&mc_eid=db7e808c01

European Semester: How can local and regional governments have a say?

Urban Lunch Talk #18: 15-minute cities – Do’s, don’ts and dilemmas

Program and announcement of guests will follow, but you can register already now! 15-minute cities – Rethinking the Urban Mobility System and Space The 15-minute city is characterised by compact, integrated city or neighbourhood structures with a high degree of self-sufficiency and local sustainability, though tightly interlinked with adjacent neighbourhoods and integrated in an effective interregional transportation network and sustainable supply chains. A fair distribution of public spaces is required, supporting active mobility modes connected with the availability and easy accessibility of longer-distance modes. There is also the need for bundling resources by cooperation and coordination among shippers, carriers as well as users and integrating environmentally friendly transport modes, alternative vehicles and active mobility for delivering goods and services.
