Etter nøye avveining har Norges Varemesse besluttet å utsette Evolve Arena på grunn av det pågående Coronaviruset, Covid-19. Evolve Arena, som etter planen skulle avholdes 12. mai 2020, er utsatt til 22.april 2021.
I dag bor 8 av 10 nordmenn i tettsteder eller byer. Byene vokser og stadig flere mennesker og varer skal inn og ut av byen hver dag. Samtidig endres veier som tidligere var tiltenkt biler og transport til gågater, fellesrom og sykkelstier. Vi forflytter oss med elektriske sparkesykler, bygger bygg som produserer mer energi enn de bruker og dyrker tomater på taket av nye bygårder.
Men hvordan ser byen ut i fremtiden? Hvordan kan byen bli enda bedre og tryggere? Dette er noen av spørsmålene som skal belyses på Evolve Arena 12. mai.
Møt noen av verdens fremste foredragsholdere innen teknologi, urbanisme, arkitektur, forbrukeradferd og bærekraft. Møt dagens og morgendagens næringslivsledere. Møt politikere, samfunnsdebattanter og byplanleggere. Alle med et brennende engasjement for byen, fremtiden og smarte teknologiske løsninger.
For en by uten mennesker, er ikke en by.
Alle snakker om det! Smart mobilitet, smartere infrastruktur og bærekraft. Nye mobilitetsløsninger samt en ny delingsøkonomi vokser frem.
Dagens lineære bruk-og-kast modell er et stort ressursproblem, og er i ferd med å nå sin grense. Dette krever nytenkning rundt alt vi produserer og bygger.
Å skape et bærekraftig og smart samfunn krever mye mer enn tekniske løsninger. Vi må skape humane og sunne miljøer der mennesker kan trives.
