Call for Expressions: Local innovators in SOLUTIONSplus cities
Submission Period I 1 July 2020 - 15 August 2020 ​

This call is premised on the assumption that the uptake of e-mobility in cities requires close cooperation   between start-ups, industry, city administrations and research and academic institutions. The purpose of this call is to boost and provide good examples of such collaboration in different structural and operational environments. On behalf of the SOLUTIONSplus consortium, UN-Habitat is issuing this call with a view to establish a collaboration between the above-mentioned cities, industry and private sector partners and itself to promote innovation and the uptake of electric mobility.

Regional Kick-off: Latin America
Kick-off Webinar I 29 April 2020 I 16:00-18:00 (MESZ)

Given the global spread of COVID-19 and the related travel and gathering restrictions that have been enforced worldwide, the kick-off meetings planned by the EU-funded project SOLUTIONSplus (SOL+) in its Latin American demonstration cities had to be cancelled.
However, in order to establish the necessary partnerships, inform relevant stakeholders and start defining the activities that will need to be conducted in each city in the context of SOL+, we have decided to organize a Regional Kick-off Webinar with Quito and Montevideo.

Webinar Series - Air Quality Sensing powered by Citizen Science
Webinar I 08 April 2020 I 15:00-16:00 (CET)

The Urban Pathways Project is involved in several sustainable urban mobility projects in developing countries, which have a great potential in terms of improving air quality and reducing noise in urban areas. Measuring the specific effects of the demonstration activities on these variables will be invaluable in quantifying the impact of the projects’ activities and thus the potential impact that replication and scaling-up of those measures could have at the local and national level, and ultimately at the global scale.

Webinar - Tactical Urbanism: What, Why, How
Webinar I 18 February 2020 & 04 March 2020
Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and New York were not always as attractive as they are today! They have undergone a steady transformation. New York is the most recent to the above list. Changing the streets of New York from the streets filled with yellow taxis to streets filled with umbrellas and outdoor seating is a story worth sharing! Amidst the extensive planning process of designing and implementing public spaces in the city, the communication between city Government and users is often missed out, leading to under-used or dead spaces.
