EIT Urban Mobility North Summit session: Data-driven SUMPs: From fragmented data to integrated mobility systems

Modern cities do not only manage passenger transport. They must also manage the daily movement of goods, services, construction flows, waste, home deliveries and essential logistics that keep urban life functioning. Increasingly, this complexity is mediated through data that is collected, owned, shared and processed across public and private actors. Yet today, mobility and logistics data ecosystems are highly fragmented. Passenger data, freight data, infrastructure data and land-use data often sit in separate systems, governed by different actors, standards and incentives. This fragmentation limits cities’ ability to use AI effectively, slows down innovation, creates duplication, and weakens decision-making. At the same time, Europe is moving toward a more structured and strategic approach to data through initiatives such as the European Mobility Data Space (EMDS). This raises fundamental questions for cities: Who owns mobility data? Who can access it? Under what conditions can it be shared? And how can interoperability be ensured so that data can be used across systems, sectors and use cases? This workshops seeks to address these questions and to exemplify specific examples from different cities.

The session is part of the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit and invitation only.
