Urbanism Next

We're looking forward to Urbanism Next's 2024 Europe Conference, where we'll be looking at Zero-Emission Zones and the Intersection of Land-Use, Accessibility, and New Logistics Technologies in a session lead by Erik Regterschot (Royal HaskoningDHV), Gert Jan Prummel (Gemeente Den Haag), Jeska de Ruiter (Royal HaskoningDHV), Melissa Bruntlett (Royal HaskoningDHV), and Paul Buijs (University of Groningen)!

The growth of zero-emission (ZE) zones for city logistics requires understanding how they can sustainably reshape public space. Evaluating ZE-zone impacts on daily access and land-use organisation is vital. How might they limit access for logistics and essential services or impact mobility for residents with diverse needs?

This interactive session examines practical implications of ZE-zones from various perspectives; city and national government ambitions, academic research on logistics sector innovations, and experiential research on human impact. Participants in this session will learn to evaluate land-use and the impact of ZE-zones, and discuss sustainable development of equitable urban space.

If you're interested in joining us, the workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 9th at the Maritim Hotel, Amsterdam. Early bird registration is only until September 1st, so snag your discounted tickets today!

We're looking forward to the workshop of Evan Corey Costagliola (Cityfi), Andrew Glass Hastings (Open Mobility Foundation), Alex Pazuchanics (Vianova I/O), Gemma Schepers (City of Amsterdam) and Tu-Tho Thai during the 2024 Urbanism Next Europe Conference this October— Mobility Data Exchanges: Moving from Buy-In to Implementation!

The explosion of shared mobility and urban delivery across the globe signaled a paradigm shift in how people and goods move, cities manage public space, and the mobility experience becoming increasingly digitalised. Numerous data specifications and exchanges (like CDS-M, MDS and CDS) unlocked cities' ability to securely, efficiently, and legally communicate data and policy direction between government and mobility providers. However, these innovations require regulatory and political buy-in to ensure widespread adoption and expanded implementation. At this workshop, learn about the future of mobility data/adoption opportunities, and co-create strategies to advance regulations at the European Commission.
