Strategic Pathways to Smart Cities: A methodological framework for Middle Eastern urban centrers

In her latest paper, Aurelie Dos Santos outlines a roadmap for future cities in "Strategic Pathways to Smart Cities." Her approach emphasizes people-centered innovation, engaging stakeholders to address priorities like mobility, sustainability, and inclusivity. By incorporating global benchmarks and adapting them to Middle Eastern cities, she advocates for effective and sustainable solutions. Egis' commitment to sustainable urban development is evident in her work, reinforcing their leadership in intelligent infrastructure and resilient city planning. The future of smart cities is forward-thinking, adaptable, and innovative!

Building.

Shaping Building Performance: Adapting to Demographics, Lifestyles & Well-being

Gareth Samson Jeyapaul's paper emphasizes the need for buildings to adapt to changing demographics, lifestyles, and well-being. He highlights the dangers of ignoring adaptability and safety, using global examples to illustrate potential risks. Gareth advocates for designing flexible and sustainable spaces that cater to diverse needs, from seniors to tech-savvy Millennials and Gen Z. Innovative solutions like demand-controlled ventilation and smart lighting can save energy and improve well-being. As we approach 2050, Egis and visionaries like Gareth are shaping a resilient and elegant future for urban living.

Green Hydrogen: A Pathway to Global Energy Security and Net Zero Emissions

Green hydrogen is now crucial in the shift to sustainable energy. It offers a path to net-zero emissions by using renewable energy through electrolysis, generating zero carbon emissions. Its versatility in powering industries and transportation helps decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors. Challenges like production costs, storage, and transportation need innovation, collaboration, and government support. Countries like Saudi Arabia are leading in green hydrogen, showing its potential for global energy transformation. As industries and governments unite, green hydrogen stands as a solution for today’s energy challenges and a hope for a cleaner future.

Transport.

How can multimodal public transport drive a new dynamic in regions?

Metropolitan Regional Express Services (SERM) are essential for decarbonising transport and rebalancing regions. They respond to the environmental and territorial challenges posed by urban sprawl and excessive private car use. At Egis, we believe that SERMs are an ambitious and necessary response to the challenges of mobility and decarbonisation of transport in France.

City.

Care City | when the city looks after us

In March 2020, the strict confinement imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic plunged cities into an unprecedented state of prostration, reminding us of the health risks of urbanisation: pollution, viruses, climate disruption and difficulties in accessing primary services. The city, a major determinant of the exposome, affects our health through the air we breathe and our daily habits. However, the links between health and cities are still poorly understood. At Egis, we believe in working more closely together to create sustainable and healthy cities.

Slow City

The city and speed are linked, with twentieth-century urbanisation marked by the development of the motor car, the acceleration of travel and the expansion of cities. Speed has come to symbolise modernity and efficiency. In response, a movement has emerged to advocate a 'slow' city, favouring short cycles, less consumption and a city that takes its time. Take a look at our white paper where our Egis experts and guests explore this concept and question the current concept of cities.
