The WUF was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. The first WUF was held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002 and has been held around the world ever since. This will be the first time that the WUF, convened by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), will take place in Eastern Europe.
EIT Urban Mobility, Innovation Hub East, will host a session “Smart Mobility Hubs – Key Towards Sustainable Urban Mobility?”. Mobility hubs offer a sustainable way of transportation around urban centres and they simplify people’s lives by bringing together all travel options, such as walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility.
Join us at WUF11 in Katowice, Poland on 29 June 2022.
