The pandemic has accelerated technological innovation. This has changed the evolution of our cities, opening up new perspectives for mobility and entire city spaces (city planning, real estate, etc). It’s becoming increasingly evident that people and goods will move differently in the future. New forms of living with reduced space requirements and efficient logistics with lower storage capacity are already a reality. A new understanding of work spaces is completely changing the entire market – now more than ever, the focus is shifting to flexible work and office structures.

Environmental protection, including responsible resource use and the recycling of available supplies, is the guiding principle for the present and the future.

In this changing world, questions arise as to how new problems should be tackled technically and legally. How can technology contribute to a fair world in the future? What is possible and what is utopia? When it comes to environmental needs, who is sitting in the driving seat – politicians, technocrats, lawyers, investors, or the people? How will we determine fairness and justice in the future? Will the balancing of legal interests change in the future? Can AI create a fair world?

Join this session held by the AIJA Real Estate, Energy Law, and Transport Law Commissions. Together, we’ll look at existing and future projects as well as “natural” developments in an innovative city structure that are impacting our lives. We’ll also respond to the above questions and discuss whether change can happen.

Key topics: City spaces, Logistics and Mobility in the city of the future; Clean energy, artificial intelligence, big data, limited resources, home office
