Hear from Pittsburgh?s experience planning and implementing Move PGH, the first MaaS system in the US. Through the creation of the Pittsburgh Mobility Collective (PMC), the city brought together a wide range of stakeholders that, instead of competing, are now working together to bring Pittsburgh a greater variety of transportation options. The change makes it easy for residents to locate mobility hubs, find transportation and mobility options and pay for services seamlessly through one app. As a result, there is a reduction in the use of private vehicles, an improvement in air quality, and residents gain access to services and opportunities that improve their economic stability. Discuss with Kim Lucas the challenges they faced, lessons learned, and the best way to get MaaS started in your city.

This thematic cluster webinar is a part of International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) Asia & Australasia, which aims to further urban and regional cooperation in the fields of sustainable urban development and innovation between EU and non-EU cities. The activity is in addition to the ongoing bilateral discussions among pilot cities. Within the IURC thematic network n°2 ?Urban and Regional Renewal?, this webinar will narrow in on Tactical Urbanism in Public Spaces.

Over the past decade, the concept of tactical urbanism (also known as ?urban prototyping?) has gained strong pace in many cities around the globe. Pedestrian plazas, pop-up bike lanes, pop-up parks and innovative playgrounds are just some of the examples developed by city authorities and civil society to improve the liveability of their cities. Actions are piloted in the short term to test functionality and achieve people?s acceptance for long-term solutions.

Through interactive deep discussion on an international level, this thematic webinar aims to showcase challenges faced and solutions implemented in IURC pilot cities. The exchange may inspire other pilot cities to capitalize from these experiences and transfer knowledge to their own circumstances. The activity will strengthen the regional/global approach of the IURC programme. It will:

1. Foster cooperation between EU and non-EU cities interested in sharing experiences on the development of tactical urbanism.
2. Identify potential pilot areas and stakeholders to explore cross-country actions at city level.

The programme will be introduced by the European Union Delegation to New Zealand and will showcase examples from two European and two non-European cities working in the IURC programme.
