GSA initiative targets post-COVID urban sustainability: we want to hear from cities

13 July 2020
The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness-raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take this further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
