We’re developing new solutions to help manage shared urban spaces during COVID and beyond.

Too many urban tech solutions focus on flashy widgets while overlooking the underlying capabilities that often make or break their usability, maintainability, and ability to evolve over time.  Instead, City Tech and Intel are using foundational technologies to enable faster and more scalable solutions to urban challenges. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered transit ridership and calls for a new understanding of how to effectively manage crowding to protect commuters. City Tech's virtual roundtable explored solutions that were being considered for crowd management pre-pandemic that can now be adapted to align with public health considerations and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The shift in commuting behavior has sparked innovative ways to address common problems faced by transit providers. Demand forecasting can improve transit services by addressing both operational challenges and setting the stage for modular and on-demand transit routing.
