While cities are unique innovation hubs, they are already facing mobility challenges. Large infrastructure is becoming obsolete. Today’s transportation methods are unsustainable. City resources are disparate and disconnected. All of this is exacerbated by late adoption of new technologies, red tape, and misaligned interests between users, planners & designers.

‘Rethinking How People Move in Cities’ examines the trends, initiatives and challenges driving the development of transportation systems in modern cities and the way in which we navigate through them. The conference aims to encourage and amplify innovative projects, smart thinking, and cross-disciplinary initiatives. Are you ready to join us?

Architecture IO is devoted to promoting innovative projects, initiatives, and ideas at the convergence of architecture, engineering, science and technology. These talks are presented by industry professionals and thinkers who are working towards solving local and global challenges. Through a series of high impact conferences and talks, Architecture IO wants to humanise architecture, promote interdisciplinary discussions, and make knowledge accessible to everyone.
