Bombardier YouCity is an online competition about the evolution of
mobility in fast-growing urban areas. "With more than two thirds of the
world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050, these commercial
and cultural hubs urgently need to evolve in terms of improving the
mobility of their populations and driving sustainable economic growth",
says Martin Ertl, Chief Innovation Officer for Bombardier
Transportation. "Our YouCity contest will provide innovators of the
future a unique platform to demonstrate what smart urban mobility will
look like on the horizon."
The online competition is open to students and professionals with a vision for the future of urban mobility from developed cities to emerging cities of the future.
