EU Green Capital Valencia will host 2024 edition of European Urban Resilience Forum
Crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery will be under the thematic spotlight
This month, residents get to experience prototypes developed from bright ideas
The Riga City Council is playing partner to a project that has the purpose to test out in real life various forward-thinking ideas in the field of urban mobility. The initiative is organized by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and features six different teams, which have set up their prototypes in different parts of the Latvian capital.
The urban environment in this case will serve as a real-life testing ground for the development of mobility innovations and ideas with high potential and added value.
The idea is that the prototypes will serve as the basis for attracting investors to the city and consequently raise the living standards of the inhabitants in more ways than one.
Here are the six pilot projects being tested on the capital city territory:
The project started with a 48-hour mobility hackathon in April, followed by a summer incubator program. It took ten weeks for the teams to develop a prototype for their particular mobility solution.
