Rethinking the Curbside: Digital Solutions for Sustainable Cities

The Future of the Curb is Digital – Join Our IURC NA Webinar

The curbside may seem like just the edge of the sidewalk, but it has become one of the most contested and opportunity rich spaces in our cities. Once mainly for parking, today it is the frontline for:

·         E-commerce deliveries

·         Public transport and cycling infrastructure

·         Outdoor dining and social life

·         Climate resilience through green infrastructure

With demand growing and traditional static management no longer enough, cities across the EU, USA, and Canada are turning to digital tools to rethink how the curb is used. Real-time data, flexible regulations, and smart curbside strategies are opening the door to more sustainable, efficient, and people-friendly urban spaces.

In the IURC North America webinar “Rethinking the Curbside: Digital Solutions for Sustainable Cities” participants will discover:

·         The latest innovations in digital curbside management

·         Madrid’s Urban Freight Distribution Strategy as a real-world case study

·         The Open Mobility Foundation’s Curb Data Specification tool, shaping global standards
