Urbanism Next Europe
October 9 - October 11
The Urbanism Next Europe Conference is a partnership between Urbanism Next at the University of Oregon, TU Delft, TNO, and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS).
The Urban Freight Lab will speak on a session on “What Can Shared Micromobility Teach Us About Enhancing the Microfreight Ecosystem?” on Friday, October 11, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Summary: In the United States, micro-freight is still a fledgling industry. Can lessons learned and technology developed from the micromobility ecosystem accelerate its growth and proliferation? As digital solutions emerge focused on curb management to achieve transportation policy outcomes, we reflect on what did and didn’t work for micromobility and apply it to building public-private ecosystems that foster micro-freight as a sustainable urban-friendly trend. Join our discussion of the technology supporting a unique zero-emission delivery zone implementation in Portland, Oregon, leveraging real-time data sharing, curb digitization, and partnership with a local e-trike delivery company.
