From Data to Decision: Transforming Urban Mobility Together

How can shared data transform the way we move through our cities? Join Max as he explores how mobility experts in Belgium are collecting, processing, and exchanging data to build smarter transportation systems that don't stop at city borders. Discover the challenges of turning car-centered cities into bicycle-friendly spaces, and how data help officials make informed decisions.

Why It Matters

The exchange of mobility data enables cities to transform transportation systems based on evidence rather than intuition. When municipalities share data across borders, they can make better decisions about infrastructure like bike lanes and transit connections. This regional approach acknowledges that transportation patterns don't stop at city limits, creating comprehensive solutions for both urban centers and rural areas.

Our Guests: Aurelie Van Obbergen, Mobility Expert for Intercommunale Leiedal & Luc Velghe, Director of Digital Transformation in Kortrijk
