In Hamburg, bringing drones into city operations isn’t just about technology — it’s about public trust. At Aerial Cities 2024, Denise Braemer, CITYAM Project Lead at Hamburg Aviation, shared how community engagement has been central to the city’s #drone port launch. Rather than introducing drone operations behind closed doors, #Hamburg invited both political stakeholders and residents to see the #technology in action. Through open days, direct outreach, and live demonstrations, they ensured people understood what drones are doing, why they’re flying, and how they serve the public good. Real-world applications like flood control and #infrastructure monitoring have made the technology even more tangible. As Denise pointed out, when drones provide clear public benefits, they become easier to accept and integrate into urban life. Watch the full panel session to learn how Hamburg is setting the standard for public engagement and much more: https://lnkd.in/d234REeg. This discussion, led by Lorenzo Murzilli (Co-founder & CEO, Murzilli Consulting), also featured insights from Sunil Budhdeo (Transport Innovation Manager, Coventry City Council), Thomas Curran (Head of Survey & Mapping, Dublin City Council), and Ewa Gowers (Head of SARG Operations & Programmes, Civil Aviation Authority), tackling key challenges in urban drone integration. Looking ahead to #AerialCities 2025? Join industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators shaping the future of aviation and mobility.

This year at Aerial Cities 2024 in #London, we kicked off the conference with a compelling panel discussion on the emerging trends and the evolving landscape of aerial #mobility in urban environments. Key insights from the panel:  ➡️ Infrastructure milestones: Hamburg Aviation celebrated the opening of a dedicated #drone port, enabling real-world testing and public demonstrations. ➡️ Regulatory progress: The UK’s CAA highlighted advancements with the #SORA methodology and digitised application processes, enabling new operational possibilities for #drones. ➡️ Urban integration challenges: Dublin and Coventry discussed the critical need to embed drone #technology into urban planning frameworks and shared their approaches to public engagement and collaboration. ➡️ Public acceptance: Hamburg and Coventry emphasised the importance of transparent communication about drones’ public benefits, such as medical deliveries and flood #monitoring. ➡️ Balancing regulations: Madrid outlined the importance of cautious, step-by-step #regulatory development to ensure fair use of urban #airspace while addressing challenges like rogue drone operators and airspace monitoring. ➡️ Collaboration as the key to progress: UK’s CAA also emphasised that aerial mobility is an ecosystem requiring all players to move forward together. Initiatives like the UK’s Future Flight Action Plan were highlighted as examples of coordinated efforts aligning #regulation, operations, and technology. Moderated by Lorenzo Murzilli, Co-founder and CEO of Murzilli Consulting, the panel featured key figures such as Denise Braemer (Project Lead, CITYAM, Hamburg Aviation), Sunil Budhdeo (Transport Innovation Manager, Coventry City Council), Thomas Curran (Head of Survey & Mapping Division, Dublin City Council), Ewa Gowers (Head of SARG Operations & Programmes, UK Civil Aviation Authority), and José Javier Rodríguez Hernández (Deputy Director of Traffic Management and Taxi Service, Ayuntamiento de Madrid).
