The first version of the AiRMOUR Guidebook on Urban Air Mobility integration published! Feedback from cities and regions is welcome
21.6.2022
The AiRMOUR project has published a guidebook on Urban Air Mobility integration process for cities and regions. Any feedback to improve the content of the guidebook is welcome to enhance the final version expected in 2023.
The AiRMOUR guidebook is designed to help city and region decision makers to perceive when and how to invest in the development of Urban Air Mobility (UAM). This first version of the guidebook helps to understand the role a city or region should have if it wants to embrace the new capabilities of UAM and better understand this new type of domain. The guidebook is also relevant for other stakeholders in Europe, as it combines the four main points of view relevant to Urban Air Mobility: urban design and mobility, aviation safety, public acceptance and UAM integration process management. The second, more detailed version of the guidebook is expected in late 2023 to consolidate feedback and project proceedings to present the most relevant insights of the program.
The book is structured around thematic areas, for example citizen engagement, legal aspects or multimodality and is designed to answer the main concerns that have been highlighted by cities:
- Whether to push or to pull; to proactively offer citizens new solutions or to co-create for a higher adoption rate.
- Balance between time, money and raw materials when confronted with uncertainties.
- Anticipate the trade-offs and efficient solutions that really answer the needs of the population.
- How to engage citizens in a meaningful manner.
The book also covers low tech solutions that bring groundbreaking results and reminds cities of stakeholder groups that are too often forgotten.
