Cleaner Cities: Harnessing Smarter Mobility & Urban Planning
Transportation is still the highest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and one of the greatest carbon contributors globally. Governments and local authorities are continually researching ways to drive positive change through legislation and policy, and a large part of this will come down to urban mobility and transportation planning.
To make the right decisions in these fields, we need the right data and measurement tools. Case in point: the Transportation Climate Impact Index by StreetLight Data. Their report uncovers how metros in the U.S. rank across eight key factors and reveals the major mobility trends impacting climate.
In this episode, we discuss urban mobility and its role in climate change. We explore how to build a climate-resilient transportation system 鈥 one that offers social, environmental and commercial value. Our celebrated guests explain why urban mobility is one of the most critical areas of climate response, and more importantly, how we can better design our cities for greener futures with cleaner air and less traffic.
Today, we鈥檙e speaking to Dr. Laura Schewel, CEO of StreetLight Data and VP of Transportation Software at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 and Jenny Jones, Head of Transport Planning for Europe at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区.
