The Future of Urban Mobility is Here – Are We Ready?
Imagine a city where traffic flows seamlessly, public transit adjusts in real-time, and autonomous vehicles deliver both people and goods exactly where they need to be. Instead of battling rush-hour traffic or waiting in checkout lines, you catch up on emails or even take a nap on your way home. The future of mobility is at a tipping point. Will we design a system that is seamless, sustainable, and accessible—or one that reinforces existing divides?
Join us on March 25 for a must-attend discussion featuring:
- Dr. Betsy Donald (Queen’s University), presenting insights from Urban Mobility: How the iPhone, COVID, and Climate Changed Everything.
- John Lorinc, award-winning journalist, discussing key takeaways from his Writers’ Trust-winning book, Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias.
This event is sponsored by the Innovation Policy Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, Queen's University and the International Telecommunications Society.
