Challenges around sustainability, digitisation, inclusion, growth at an unprecedented pace are all magnified in urban spaces where people are on the move. Coupled with unexpected events such as natural disasters, economic swings and pandemics, it is clear that we need a contactless and low impact way to move around. Cities are very aware of this and our SmartCity survey proves that many cities are embracing technology to deliver better services for their citizens.
