How do you drive the development of a circular economy when building a city? Digitalisation must be a key tool to meet this challenge. Giving materials an identity allows them to retain their value at the end of a building's life cycle. The creation of digital processes is the only solution to store and make available the vast amount of information required, from the material level to the urban scale.

In an era of rapid urbanization, the concept of a "smart city" has become increasingly popular. Smart cities leverage technology and data to improve the quality of life for their residents, enhance efficiency, and address urban challenges. However, there is a growing recognition that the road to smart cities should be paved with green infrastructure and a deep appreciation for ecosystems. Ecosystems, with their intrinsic ability to support sustainable living, are emerging as essential partners in the quest for urban smartness.

The last 15 years, starting in 2008, have represented an unprecedented boom in transportation innovation and investment from the private markets and public sector. As we catch our breath and take stock, shared lessons learned offer a foundation for what comes next. Hope and optimism remain about mobility’s potential to ease some of our greatest challenges from climate to racial and gender inequity, but we remain at an inflection point. Innovation occurs in cycles, and our success in the next boom depends on our thoughtful examination of where we landed after the last one. From the perspective of the last 12 years in three public agencies in northern and southern California, this presentation will share a view of the outcomes and a look ahead to what is just around the corner.

The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the urban environment. While AI holds immense promise in smart city planning and management, concerns about biases, ethics, job displacement, and privacy arise. Can city leaders effectively leverage AI while addressing its ethical implications? Can AI implementation in the urban landscape overcome these challenges and pave the way for a more intelligent and inclusive future?

Past urban models are no longer fit for purpose. They promote sprawl, pollute the air, as well as generate long commute, fragmentation and loss of social cohesion. It is urgent to makes our cities more sustainable and desirable, to ensure proximity to amenities and services in every neighbourhood, and to create public spaces that act as the “living room of city", a place where people meet, socialize as well as safely walk and cycle. This session brings global mayors and leaders that turn this vision into reality.

Urban policy does not usually include time use as a key factor, and yet cities are constantly trying to influence it. By adding new and faster mobility routes, providing childcare that saves time to caregivers, or applying the famous 15-minute city concept which connects time and space, cities change the everyday life of their citizens. Time policies allow cities to innovate by placing time at the centre of the urban agenda.

This includes the ability to control its lighting, acoustic, physical and smell attributes so that we can better understand how these different features might affect diverse urban populations in any given project. We will demonstrate how we have improved a variety of urban projects thus far which have focused on the impact of different environmental stimuli on various user groups. We will invite participants to bring their own urban issues and project ideas to the table. Together, we will explore how we might address these issues or test ideas at PEARL.
