CITYAM – Preparing cities for sustainable Urban Air Mobility

CITYAM seeks solutions suitable for increasing urban air mobility in a responsible way.

Drones are a green and smart mobility form, but the potential, volume and sustainability of these automated vehicles in the lower airspace of our cities needs management and better planning.

For this, a strategy and policies, preparation, greater awareness and more knowledge and tools are crucial. Through close transnational cooperation, CITYAM will provide the ingredients and tools for a solid urban air mobility strategy, to adapt city planning practices in relation to landing site and airspace management, and also to scale city-relevant drone operations as part of a multimodal transport system.

Increasing public officials’ capabilities, and measuring public acceptance are key to this work.

During the project, the solutions will be tested in the three leading cities of Hamburg, Helsinki and Stockholm for different purposes.
