Intelligent City: Future Mobility

Smart mobility innovations are disrupting existing urban transport and decarbonization is driving the electrification of urban fleets. Will the emerging “electric city” optimize energy, space, and mobility by digitally integrating ubiquitous renewable energy systems, smart grids, intelligent public transport infrastructure and shared electric vehicle fleets?  Or will urban development and transportation remain wedded to fossil fuels, private ownership, conventional motorization, inefficient land use and the resulting economic, social and ecological dysfunctionality of our urban spaces?

Rapid innovation in big data, machine learning, and distributed energy systems may enable new zero-emission, on-demand and automated mobility services but may also reinforce unsustainable and socially exclusive transportation and urban development pathways. The dynamic interaction between passenger and freight mobility, particularly regarding distributed production and e-commerce, provide an additional challenge for future mobility systems. Further out, drones and urban air mobility have significant potential for transformative disruption by integrating vertical with horizontal transport and separating mobility from road-based infrastructure. Through case studies and examples from leading intelligent cities, with specific reference to the impact on the parking industry, future parking services and parking structures, we will explore key levers of integrated urban mobility and energy transformation solutions.

Lisa Helps, Mayor of Victoria & Andrea Boardman, Island Health

Victoria: Sustainable, Livable, Thriving

With an over-subscribed parking program at hospitals that are at chronic overcapacity, new and innovative options are required to transport staff to and from work from all regions of the city and surrounding municipalities. This presentation will explore how the municipal and health sectors are working together to move toward a shared vision of a sustainable transportation system within a livable and thriving city.

Lisa Helps, Victoria’s Mayor since 2014, works hard at City Hall and in the community to ensure that the city is prosperous, affordable, sustainable, and ready for the future. Taking a long-term, big-picture perspective, she looks both around the city and around the world for innovative solutions to the pressing challenges we are all facing.  Lisa and her city council have taken bold steps to look beyond the needs of today to create a future vision that includes a network of separated bike lanes, improved transit options and reduced street parking for vehicles.

Andrea Boardman is the Corporate Director of Logistics & Operations for Island Health which includes, but is not limited to the parking operations at various hospital campuses that comprise Island Health on Vancouver Island. With a Nursing background and Master of Business Administration she is in a unique position to look at the supply and demand of hospital parking through the lens of patients, families and staff.
