SUMMARY:CUI CityTalk - Mobility as a Service: How can MaaS support better mobility access?
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the fore glaring gaps in our transportation networks especially for those reliant on transit services. To meet our collective goals around transportation equity\, climate change\, and municipal fiscal responsibility\, transit service delivery may require a different model\, one already implemented in several cities across the world. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is an integrated platform that combines multiple modes including public transit\, taxis\, ride-hailing\, scooter\, bike\, and car sharing\, and sometimes even parking fees and road tolls on one easy-to-use navigation and payment app. \nCUI and AECOM’s joint report\, “Mobility as a Service: A Feasibility Study on Implementing MaaS in the Greater Toronto Area\,” examines the region’s existing transportation infrastructure landscape and its current economic\, political\, technological\, and operational conditions. \nJoin our panellists to explore the conversation around MaaS acceptance and implementation and how\, if directed intentionally\, the model can support better mobility access. \nTosh Chambers – Senior Program Director\, Move PGH (Pittsburg\, PA) \nJustin Trevan – Vice President\, Cities Growth Strategy at AECOM (Toronto\, ON) \nDeborah Wathen Finn – President\, The Wathen Group (Westfield\, NJ) \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Cities for Everyone: The City We Want Barcelona
DESCRIPTION:Towards The City We Want\, BarcelonaGuest: \nXavier Matilla. City Architect & Planner\, Professor.\nBarcelona\, Spain \nTuesday\, September 5th\, 2023\n11:00 AM EST/5:00 PM CET \nAbout: \nXavier Matilla was Chief Architect of the city of Barcelona between October 2019 – June 2023. During this period\, he has directed many urban transformations with the aim of achieving a healthier\, friendlier and fairer city. Highlight being the “Barcelona Superblock” project\, internationally recognized as an effective strategy to transform city streets into spaces with better environmental quality and more l ABOUT his presentation: At a time when cities need new urban models to approach the future with optimism\, Barcelona has shown that it is possible to move towards a healthier\, kinder and fairer city for it citizens thanks to the Superilla Project. Barcelona is a compact and dense city\, with a polycentric urban model\, but it has a significant deficit of green areas and a problem with its car-centered mobility model. Car use takes up more than 50% of public space and is also the main source of atmospheric and noise pollution. Superilla aims to improve all the city’s streets\, while proposing a new\, more efficient mobility model through promoting public transport\, cycling and walking\, so that it takes up less room\, is healthier and pollutes less. This allows 1 out of every 3 streets to be freed up from through traffic\, and to transform them into new “green axes” in such a way that they “naturalise” the city and promote local activities and social relationships\, constituting a true environmental and social infrastructure\, a true systemic change. During the last 4 years Xavi Matilla has promoted the project\, defining a vision of the future for the whole city and at the same time executing a phase with 4 new green axes (4.65 Km / 10Ha) and 4 new squares (1Ha) that allow to demonstrate that it is possible to move towards the city we want. \nLearn more and register here!
