‘SMARTGROWTH Indicator Project – Centres of Competence in Transport & Mobility’ Idea: Elevate Regional Innovation Indicators/ best practise of International (Europe, USA, Asia) Competence Regions in Transport and Mobility Potential Partners: Ten cities, like Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Lissabon, London, Helsinki, Hong Kong, New York, and Tokyo, each of it having an – actual or potential – image as a „Region of Excellence in Transport & Mobility“. Aim: Creating an uniform International database that contains Regional Innovation Indicators for Transport Technology: (1) Overall innovation enabling indicators (e.g. area, population, urban density, GDP per capita, R&D per capita) (2) Transport & Mobility indicators (e.g. public transport lines & modes, airports & passengers, modal split) (3) Transport Technology & Innovation (e.g. innovations in transport technology, regional SME & research capabilities, transport policy)

SMARTGROWTH should concentrate on innovative & complex solutions for transport & mobility in metropolitan areas: How is the regional innovation system organised? How is mobility organised to meet citizens´ needs and how is it supported by technologies? How do organisations (research, enterprises, operators, officials & poli- ticians) co-operate in order to push innovative solutions into application? Which – legal and political – frameworks are created in order to accelerate innovation? SMARTGROWTH will not produce a large amount of incomparable figures, but it is to learn from other Metropolitan Areas. SMARTGROWTH Key Issues

SMARTGROWTH Call for partners in Metropolitan Areas Potential partners shall achieve Identifying key organizations -> listing key organizations & summarizing the expertise of each. Assessing activities of regional authorities with respect to their usefulness in Metropolitan Areas/ Examining urban policy support to such kind of approach -> Assemble descriptive documentation using the analysis template. Identifying important ongoing approaches of transport technologies related developments. Identifying specific individual expertise on transport telematics, railway technology, city logistics, automotive engineering, and aeronautics. Assisting FAV in organizing & conducting interviews with experts; joining FAV in conducting interviews to help bridge linguistic & contextual gaps; and/or conducting interviews on behalf of FAV. Deadline for proposals: June 6 th, 2003
