International seminar in the framework of the Passages exhibition in Beijing
Improving the mobility of tomorrow’s city implies combining low-cost interventions (strategic crossings, signposting, services and applications …) up to the use of new technologies (electric, connected, autonomous, new infrastructures …). Technology changes our lives, as well as the relationships between human and nature, human and city, and human and human. Will there be any intelligent solution to resilient urban development and user-friendly passage design? Let us cross the boundaries of disciplines and imagine a better urban life together.
