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.

Many European cities have introduced Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs) to tackle air pollution, limit traffic congestion, improve road safety, and redistribute public space. This session focuses on congestion charging (implementation of a fee for drivers to enter certain areas with their vehicles). While it has been found to be an effective tool to meet local mobility and air quality goals, there remain crucial questions, especially in terms of equity and citizens' acceptance.

The cities in Europe will have to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and they must rely on the whole ecosystem to support the transition towards a more sustainable mobility. An important part of the ecosystem is the automotive industry, which faces risks related to the regulatory environment, changing mobility landscape, charging infrastructure integration, market competition, and different economic factors. To address these risks, collaboration among stakeholders is crucial. EIT Urban Mobility organises a session during TMWC with relevant representatives from the Automotive industry and the public sector, aiming to:

1. Discuss the challenges, opportunities, fears, risks, and new business models arising.
2. Identify the gaps between the cities’ vision and the private sector objectives and enhance the collaboration between the regulators, the industry, the cities, and its citizens to achieve the common mission of decarbonisation and sustainable urban mobility.

This session aims to provide an overview of how PEARL (UCL's Person-Environment-Activity Research Lab) can help cities to understand person-environment interactions through its unique ability to simulate urban environments at 1-1 scale. 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.
