LogiSmile – 1st year
Last-mile logistics operations in cities can increase traffic congestion, cause safety problems for pedestrians, bikers, and couriers, and contribute to air and noise pollution. To tackle these challenges, the LogiSmile partners are piloting a fully autonomous delivery system in three pilot cities: Esplugues de Llobregat, Spain, Hamburg in Germany, and Debrecen in Hungary. LogiSmile will […]

Railways stations multi-service hub
Today, Europe’s major railway stations are mobility hubs that support several transport users, not just rail commuters. Planners are required to revise design criteria and standards to keep up with the increased demand on services. To this end, the project aims at defining upgraded criteria for designing railway stations as multiservice hubs. To help planners […]
FURNISH-KIDS
Cities are envisioning a change in the use of public space. Urban areas previously occupied or used by private cars are being transformed into public spaces, a welcome change for kids. Yet children are generally excluded from the design and planning phases of these projects. Hence, the FURNISH-KIDS initiative aims to redesign urban spaces that […]
