Drones on the move: What is urban air mobility and what does it mean to cities?
In this webinar, participants learned about Helsinki’s experiences in urban air mobility. We also discussed what cities should take into account in planning of urban air mobility.
About this webinar
Within a few years, urban air mobility above densely populated areas will become significantly more common as drones begin to transport packages and collect environmental data etc. The drone technology is developing rapidly and urban air mobility has been also significantly promoted by the European Union’s new legislation. European Drone Strategy 2.0. aims to promote the development of drone technology and ensure that drones are used safely and effectively in Europe.
In the second #ScandriaAllianceTalk webinar, participants learned the basics of urban air mobility through the experiences and examples from the city of Helsinki in Finland and EU-funded projects AirMOUR and CityAM. We heard and discussed what urban air mobility means to cities and what cities should take into account in planning of urban air mobility.
