Urban Future Walking as Innovation tool session

Our contribution to events at the Urban Future conference 2025 are slowly taking shape. This is Europe's largest smart city event, and moves location each year. Eugene has been involved since the 2018 Vienna events And this time our focus will partly be about urban walking . Please join us with other players from the flaneur scene, across the continent.

Walk if Off
Your cure for car-brained cities
Let’s take a walk—literally and figuratively—through the power of walkable cities. In this session, we’ll explore how putting pedestrians first creates healthier, happier, and more connected communities. Expect fresh perspectives, fun facts, and real-world examples of cities stepping up their game. No traffic jams here—just a lively conversation about how to make streets made for people & play, not just cars.
