What truly defines a ‘smart’ city? Join the conversation! In our rapidly evolving world, digital transformation is revolutionizing urban landscapes, reshaping how we live, work, and connect. But what makes a city truly ‘smart’? It’s not just about embracing technology; it’s about putting people at the heart of urban development. That’s where the real magic happens – when innovation serves the needs of its citizens, making lives easier, more sustainable, and more connected. UN-Habitat, in collaboration with the French Government, Grand Est Council, and Eurométrople de Strasbourg, is taking a significant step towards shaping the future of our cities. On 17 and 18 April, global experts will meet to kickstart the drafting of the International Guidelines on People-Centred Smart Cities. Be part of this transformative journey towards creating cities that work for everyone.

Session today about the 'increased role of urban nodes in multi modal intelligent traffic management' at #ConnectingEurope Days in Brussels. The essence on the topic is as usual expressed in less than two minutes by Karen Vancluysen from the POLIS Network . . . Description session: "The increased role of urban nodes in multi modal traffic and mobility management signifies a paradigm shift in urban mobility. Supported by TEN-T and ITS legislation, urban nodes are transforming into dynamic hubs of digital transportation solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and user experience. In this session, we dive deeper into common issues on implementing ITS in urban nodes, addressing needs and challenges of public administration in urban nodes and the role of public – private cooperation. Furthermore, good practices are presented on how to engage and help public administrations play their important role to reach the objective of efficient, safe, sustainable, smart and resilient mobility. While challenges persist, the potential for reduced congestion, improved air quality, and enhanced social and territorial cohesion makes the pursuit of this transformation a vital step towards creating smarter, more liveable cities."
