Technology and Data : shaping the Future of Mobility

Don't miss our first panel of the year!

The arrival of smartphones and mobility applications has led to the development of a new range of on-demand and delivery services. Cities have had to adapt their ways of managing and monitoring public space by embracing technology, which in turn generates large amounts of data.

How can technology be leveraged to accelerate the transformation of urban mobility? What are the pitfalls to avoid? Knowing that data on parking habits and car use are still incomplete, can Montreal benefit by taking inspiration from approaches adopted elsewhere?

To answer these questions, we bring together five Canadian and U.S. experts who are actively engaged in addressing the growing challenges of urban transportation and integrating technology central to the mobility revolution.

Date: February 27
Time: 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Location: Webcast
