Roundtable Discussions (2 March): Assessing real-world applications and consequences of urban air mobility
As urban air mobility solutions continue to be developed, SmartCitiesWorld hosts a live roundtable at Global Urban & Advanced Air Summit (GUASS) with a group of city practitioners to assess how this innovative new mode of transportation could support cities’ new mobility objectives, from passenger transport to the delivery of goods.
The expert roundtable will come together to discuss:
- New physical and digital infrastructure requirements to implement UAM in their cities, from take off and landing space, to airspace management technology
- Policy development to ensure safe and secure deployment in urban spaces
- Which applications of UAM they believe will most benefit their cities and their approach to partnering with new players in a new mobility market
- Keeping UAM accessible and equitable for citizens
- Realistic timeframes for deployment of UAM services and reflection on existing pilots and projects
