City Club
Defining challenges and sharing best practices




Putting urban mobility solutions into practice
City Club is a platform for cities for collaborating, sharing best practice, upscaling ideas and putting them to work. Every year the club produces a list of key challenges facing cities, which can then be tackled by innovation projects and fed into our innovation, education and business creation programmes. Our cities act as test beds for pilots and living labs to enhance innovation in urban mobility. The club also serves as a sounding board for citizens and a means of outreach.
