CARNET Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges - Shaping Cities and Vehicles for a Common Future
About this Event

As it returns for its 2025 edition, the Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges will dive into a crucial mobility topic: the integration of vehicles and cities. As urban areas evolve, the relationship between mobility systems and city infrastructure becomes increasingly complex and more important than ever to understand and manage. 🚗🏙️

This year’s event will examine how cities are using data to shape their transport strategies, how impact evaluation is being integrated into decision-making processes, and how innovation plays a pivotal role in developing adaptable, efficient, and sustainable mobility systems. 🌱

Bringing together stakeholders from research, industry, and public administration, the symposium will offer a space for reflection and debate. By addressing how innovation is implemented and measured in real contexts, we aim to spark a conversation on how vehicles and cities can coexist more harmoniously, creating accessible urban environments for all. 🧪🏢🏛️
