Additionally, the programme will address the scope policies and actions under the Sustainable Mobility Urban Plan; innovations in smart urban mobility such as infrastructure and traffic management and; the role of technologies piloted in Motorsport in advancing sustainable urban development. It will also explore the role of partnership and cooperation in deploying large-scale innovative solutions.
