Cities Today

Great to see our Chief Commercial Officer, Willem Fast, in action today at Innovate 2026 in Berlin, where he was speaking on the panel “Future-ready infrastructure – Cities, facilities, and data centres”, as part of the session “From ideas to reality: Driving project efficiency through digitisation and AI for infrastructure.”   Joining Dr. Richard J. Vestner, Dorothea Manou and David Philp (Bentley Systems), and Clare Rhodes James (Mott MacDonald), the discussion explored how digital twins, AI and data-driven approaches are shaping more efficient, resilient infrastructure – and the growing role of data centres as integral components of the urban system.   It is a timely conversation on how cities and infrastructure providers can move from strategy to implementation in an increasingly complex, connected environment – themes that strongly resonate with the discussions we are advancing across our leadership forums within the CTI, Airports AI Alliance and City Innovation Network. #CitiesTodayInstitute #CTI #CityInnovationNetwork #AirportsAIAlliance #DigitalTwins #FutureInfrastructure #UrbanInnovation #IlluminateBerlin Bentley Digital Cities

In two weeks we'll be heading to beautiful #Barcelona for the inaugural Transport Innovation Alliance Leadership Forum on 13–14 May, bringing together European mobility leaders to address the challenges facing urban transport today and the innovative approaches to solving them. Across the two-day programme, discussions will focus on advancing active mobility, improving safety and walkability, optimising traffic flow, and integrating public transport with emerging mobility solutions. The agenda also explores the role of AI, autonomous vehicles, and smarter infrastructure in shaping more efficient and sustainable city systems. We’re pleased to be hosted by Manuel Valdes Lopez, CEO of Autoritat del Transport Metropolità, and look forward to welcoming participants to Barcelona. Interested in joining the conversation?
