Cities as a pull effect of Sustainability: water and decarbonization
URBAN ARENA
Cities produce around 70% of global carbon emissions, and they are responsible for more than 60% of resource use and produce 50% of global waste. According to projections, by 2050 two thirds of the world's population will live in cities, which is why they will play a key role in tackling the effects of climate change.

Technologies for promoting environmental quality and health in urban areas
URBAN ARENA
There is a clear opportunity to integrate environmental quality management into the digital tools that are being developed to support the management of our cities. The available digital technology can also provide greater knowledge of the sources of pollution, its effects and possible actions to preserve environmental quality and take care of our health. We are in a position to apply the capacity in data capture, processing, and storage; the combination of observational and modeling results; and the use of artificial intelligence technologies. This table will analyze the interest of the possible functionalities of an environmental digital twin of the city for the management of air quality and noise. How digital systems can contribute to comply with current legislation and the one that is to come.

AAM: Advanced Air Mobility, challenges & opportunities
MOBILITY ARENA
This round table is motivated by the evidence that, in recent years, a new type of passenger and cargo transport system oriented towards the city environment has been taking shape. It consists of the use of vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicles, with electric propulsion and the ability to move automatically, autonomously or remotely controlled. Intermodality and interoperability will be two essential elements for the success of the MEA.
The objective of this round table is to bring together the key actors in the development of the AAM to take stock of the current advances, the impact on the cities, as well as to identify the essential actions still necessary for its prompt implementation.
The round table will be moderated by Ana Pérez, Aviation Expert Director of Aertec, and will have Ehang to have the vision from the point of view of vehicle developers, with Enaire to talk about the distribution and organization of airspace, with a City Council to understand the problems that the AAM will solve and with AERTEC to talk about the necessary infrastructures and compatibility with current airports.
