This networking event aims to bring private sector players together with city decision-makers and researchers to discuss innovative business models that can help cities invest in sustainable solutions for urban challenges. Through dedicated discussion of concrete cases, investors and city representatives can dig deep into the constraints holding cities back, the solutions available, and the capacity that each stakeholder group provides to achieve common goals.

Session Description:

This networking event presents key elements of SLoCaT’s Quito Action Plan for Sustainable Urban Mobility (QAPSUM), a global, open and transparent platform for all actors (e.g. transport industry, financial institutions, cities, academia, governments) which aims to transform urban mobility by contributing to safe, healthy, efficient, climate friendly and clean cities.  QAPSUM is intended to deliver simultaneously on the New Urban Agenda (NUA), the Paris Agreement, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
