[SPN-Discussion] Innovations in Transportation: Mobility in Smart Cities

[Jim Henderson]

We might not all agree why birds fly and why the grass grows, but most of us agree transportation is key to getting where you need to be and when you need to be there. 

Join GreenHomeNYC for “Innovations in Transportation: Mobility in Smart Cities"at the fabulous new Hafele Showroom to learn about the ways cities are adapting to the latest innovations in technology coupled with the greater demands on infrastructure due to increased density and aging assets. 

The forum will target innovative solutions that are being championed to get people and goods where they need to be while reducing their carbon footprint. We'll hear from four thought leaders on mobility and transportation in NYC as it strives to be a true Smart City.
