Smart Cities Never Sleep

But the 24-hour economy comes at a cost; there are issues surrounding transportation and supply of goods and services, public safety and equal access, uses of space and housing. This workshop will bring international stakeholders from industry, academia, government and the public to discuss how cities should be thinking about nighttime planning and how data, innovative approaches and digital solutions can support the social, cultural and economic activities that occur after dark.

Discussion topics may include but are not limited to:
• Public safety
• Equal access and diversity
• New business models (sharing, multi-use)
• Impact of smart mobility solutions
• Off-hour delivery and freight
• Sensing technologies for nighttime mobility
• Spatio-temporal patterns of nighttime mobility
• Autonomous transport
• Short range and micro transportation (ride shares, e-bikes and scooters)
