RV 2014: Beyond Mobility: Corridor Planning for the Bigger Picture by Antonio...Rail~Volution
Beyond Mobility: Corridor Planning for the Bigger Picture AICP CM 1.5
Transit can do more than move people and generate revenue. More and more, cities are investing in transit to transform their communities and deliver on more expansive city-building objectives. Traditional transit goals are expanding to address the promise of livable communities, environmental stewardship, economic development and improved public health. Hear how two cities -- Seattle and Portland -- are shaping development scale and character with transit investment. Both cities are using parcel-based, pro forma-based tools to quantify the potential impact of transit projects. Join us for an interactive discussion about the capabilities and limitations of these tools. Hear their stories and learn how to evaluate your own projects against a broader set of goals using technical and market-based analysis.

This document discusses transforming Greenwich's economy through a smart city strategy. It argues that radical innovation is needed to create new wealth in difficult economic times. The strategy proposes making Greenwich a digital growth cluster by promoting skills and jobs in areas like urban design, autonomous vehicles, and telehealth. This would involve transforming infrastructure, public services, neighborhoods, and the built environment through approaches like open data platforms, living labs, and digital technologies. The goal is to retain local graduates and make Greenwich more competitive globally through world-class connectivity and by becoming a predictive city capable of solving problems and anticipating issues.

Implicatiile schimbarilor climatice asupra societatii, economiei si mediului
The document discusses infrastructure projects undertaken by engineers and the stresses these place on society and cities. It focuses on transportation infrastructure and argues that current policies prioritize economic growth over sustainability and fail to adequately consider costs to society such as delays, accidents, pollution, and health issues. The document advocates for smarter, healthier cities with evidence-based policies that consider benefits, budgets, and public voices to improve transportation systems.
Smart cities aim to address complex issues facing urban areas through technology and data-driven solutions. As more people live in cities, issues like traffic congestion, outdated infrastructure, safety concerns, and high healthcare costs are increasing. Technology is driving changes through connectivity, sensors, machine learning, and more. Smart cities offer opportunities to improve transportation, infrastructure, energy management, healthcare, education, and other areas. Success requires an integrated, user-centered approach that leverages existing assets and data to both manage current problems and create new solutions for the future.
OECD Roundtable on Smart Cities and Inclusive GrowthOECDregions
Cities around the world are still battling COVID-19 and shaping their way out of the crisis.
As the world learns to live with the virus, never have digital technologies and innovation been so valuable to help cities navigate the crisis and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Both before and during the pandemic, smart city initiatives have flourished around the globe, together with various attempts to develop smart city indices and indicators.
With substantial public funding channelled into smart recovery efforts, it is more critical than ever to assess whether investment in smart cities improves people’s lives. To what extent do smart cities deliver concrete well-being outcomes for all? How can such outcomes be effectively measured, monitored and maximised?

This is a presentation given by Aitor Somers, consultant at Duval Union Consulting and expert in mobility. This slide deck gives a more thorough insight on the symbiosis between the mobility of the future and other societal, demographical and economic changes on a holistic level.
The document discusses future trends that could reshape mobility, work, and living. It identifies five trends that could decrease the need to move: decentralization enabled by technology, growing urban populations resisting cars, different mobility needs of new generations, and urban planners rethinking circular living. A scenario is presented where people may move less due to local integration of work, education and entertainment, and move more efficiently through shared, electric and autonomous transportation networks. Realizing this future requires collaboration between governments, consumers and companies to implement new models and overcome challenges from disruption.
CHARACTERISTICS OF URBAN ECOSYSTEM Presentation.pptxArbaz57
Urban ecosystems have emerged as unique environments that support a high density and diversity of plant, animal, and microbial life. They are often greatly modified by human activity through urban structures like buildings and roads. Urban ecosystems are also dynamic and fast-paced with constant changes due to human activity and ecological processes. They face challenges from habitat loss, pollution, climate change, invasive species, and need strategies for managing resources like water, waste, and energy.
This document proposes the development of Moscow as Russia's first "Smart City" called the Moscow Intelligent Eco City. It outlines plans to expand Moscow's boundaries to incorporate surrounding municipal areas, totaling 267,000 hectares. The project would transform Moscow into the largest eco-intelligent urban ecosystem in the world through innovative economy, sustainable infrastructure, smart technologies, and an emphasis on quality of life. The goal is to establish Moscow as a global leader in areas like innovation, knowledge economy, green energy, and intelligent management.
Urbanization: Smart Urban Transit System using Artificial IntelligenceIRJET Journal

Financial challenges include bringing together stakeholders and reconciling investor expectations with citizen needs, as business models are unclear. Urban Foresight works with smart cities, investors, and technology providers to develop citizen-driven solutions and strategic relationships that address these challenges.

1) Congestion in urban areas is a growing problem as more people move to cities, and multimodal transportation optimization can help reduce congestion.
2) A multimodal control center called Mastria orchestrates different transportation modes like public transit, taxis, bikes, and traffic to optimize traffic flow.
3) Mastria integrates existing city transportation systems and uses data analytics to improve transportation efficiency, anticipate issues, and provide reliable transit information to users.
Artificial Intelligence and big Data Analytics for Cities- Smart Cities Summi...Smart Algiers
Urban computing uses data from cities to understand problems and create solutions. It involves collecting and analyzing large amounts of data from sensors, vehicles, buildings and people. This data can help address issues like traffic, pollution, and energy use. The Center for Urban Science and Progress in New York uses these techniques to improve commutes, emergency response, and air quality for New York City. Automatic map inference from imagery and GPS data can help update maps, which is important for transportation and routing services. Analyzing a city's road network can evaluate its robustness against failures or attacks.
