ITS agenda for liveable, resilient and prosperous urban nodes: automation, electrification, multimodal hubs and societal aspects
As part of the EU’s broader climate and smart mobility agenda, the TEN-T regulations have strengthened the role of cities as vital enablers of sustainable, efficient, and multimodal transport. The underlying challenges and ambitions are shared well beyond EU borders, including in Türkiye, where major international transport corridors intersect and cities play a critical role in connecting regional and global mobility networks. As host city, Istanbul illustrates the strategic importance of urban nodes in managing complex, high-volume multimodal flows and in supporting the performance of wider transport corridors.
The 2026 Smart Mobility Summit of Cities and Regions will focus on four topics that highlight the role of ITS in making liveable, resilient, and prosperous urban nodes. The topics are:
1. Beyond fleet electrification: Powering investable urban mobility systems
2. Cities ready for deploying connected and automated mobility
3. Evolution of multimodal hubs by 2030 – role of digitalisation and data
4. Social aspects of mobility and transport in human centric cities
