Urbanism Next

We're looking forward to Urbanism Next's 2024 Europe Conference, where we'll be looking at Zero-Emission Zones and the Intersection of Land-Use, Accessibility, and New Logistics Technologies in a session lead by Erik Regterschot (Royal HaskoningDHV), Gert Jan Prummel (Gemeente Den Haag), Jeska de Ruiter (Royal HaskoningDHV), Melissa Bruntlett (Royal HaskoningDHV), and Paul Buijs (University of Groningen)!

The growth of zero-emission (ZE) zones for city logistics requires understanding how they can sustainably reshape public space. Evaluating ZE-zone impacts on daily access and land-use organisation is vital. How might they limit access for logistics and essential services or impact mobility for residents with diverse needs?

This interactive session examines practical implications of ZE-zones from various perspectives; city and national government ambitions, academic research on logistics sector innovations, and experiential research on human impact. Participants in this session will learn to evaluate land-use and the impact of ZE-zones, and discuss sustainable development of equitable urban space.

If you're interested in joining us, the workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 9th at the Maritim Hotel, Amsterdam. Early bird registration is only until September 1st, so snag your discounted tickets today!

We're looking forward to Urbanism Next's 2024 Europe Conference, where we'll be joining Geiske Bouma (TNO Vector), Hanna Welde Tranås (Oslo kommune), Jan Barski (HafenCity Universität Hamburg (HCU)), Julian Sahr (District of Hamburg-Altona), and Suzanne Green (Stadsmiljöförvaltningen Göteborgs Stad) as they discuss 'Mobility Hubs for People and Goods— Benefits and Challenges from Public, Private, and Community Perspectives' this October!

"This session offers insights from experiences of Oslo, Gothenburg, and Hamburg, who have set up a variety of types of mobility hubs within the ‘MOVE21’ Horizon2020 project. The inputs showcase how the cities have been implementing micro-depots in neighbourhoods, combining different modes of transport within a mobility hub, or reaching out to more suburban areas. It will describe how multiple transitions interact when developing mobility hubs for people and goods, and explain what benefits and challenges are occurring when developing mobility hubs – with the goal of commenting on new ways over cooperation between public, private, and community partners."

If you're looking to join us, registration is open! The early bird deadline is September 1st. Register now!

We're looking forward to Urbanism Next's 2024 Europe Conference, where we'll be Rethinking Streets with AI and Augmented Reality in a joint workshop lead by Roelof Pieters (Founder of Sunshine Lab) and Marc Schlossberg (EPIC-Network, University of Oregon, and Sustainable Cities Institute)!

This workshop will cover tools needed to create Augmented Reality (AR) street redesigns, which will allow professionals and the public to ‘experience’ possible streets and right-of-way changes using your phone or tablet. Participants will gain insights into practical applications, development, and future considerations for urban design through a seminar and a demo participants will experiment with outside, critical to accelerating the infrastructure change needed to meet pressing environmental, equity, health, and fiscal goals.

If you're interested in joining us, the workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 9th at the Maritim Hotel, Amsterdam. Early bird registration is only until August 1st, so snag your discounted tickets today!
