Hi Felix, we observe a clear overlap between mobility transformation and smart city development whenever new modes of transportation require specific infrastructure adjustments. For example, the rise of electric vehicles is closely linked with the Installation of charging stations.

I believe that city authorities need to develop a holistic plan on how to develop their infrastructure in a way that it best fits the needs of future mobility services. Two very specific topics that require special attention are parking and urban logistics.
