Smarter cities need more than smart algorithms. They need trust

The main obstacle to sustainable mobility may not be technological, but rather political and organizational.

One thing is becoming clear: mobility data is still underutilized.

Sustainable mobility hinges more on the quality and sharing of data than on other anticipated innovations such as fare integration.

To protect users, data is anonymized, but indiscriminate anonymization can erase the very information that makes it valuable.

It’s the systems of incentives, standards, trust and political will that determine whether better tools make for better cities.
