TECNALIA will be at the Axenda Urbana Pontevedra Local Forum on 20 March 2024

TECNALIA is taking part in the Axenda Urbana Pontevedra Local Forum, which aims to share local experiences around the implementation and updating of urban agendas, as well as integrated urban sustainability policies and strategies.

Pontevedra Urban Agenda

The Pontevedra Urban Agenda seeks to respond to the municipality’s main future challenges, by designing a model of urban and rural development to become a safer and more sustainable, resilient and inclusive province.

  • In recent years, Pontevedra has carried out an important transformation of the urban mobility model, resulting in a friendly and healthy public space, through a significant reduction of motorised trips.
  • This has reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved road safety, creating an inclusive space that guarantees Universal Accessibility and the Right to Mobility.

Round table on sustainable cities

The programme will include a panel discussion on sustainable cities, which will take place on 20 March from 12:30 to 13:45. It will include top-level speakers.

  • This round table will be attended by Patricia Molina Costa, Director of City, Territory and Environment at TECNALIA, who will talk about technological innovation for the transition towards climate-neutral cities.
