Social acceptance for urban air mobility: UIC2 Workshop in Hamburg ❓How can drones be usefully integrated into urban airspace? What are the challenges in terms of acceptance? And how can cities involve citizens at an early stage? These were the questions discussed at the two-day UIC2 workshop in Hamburg - the first face-to-face meeting of a member of the city network! 💬🌍 UIC2 (Urban Air Mobility Initiative Cities Community) is the largest city network funded by the EU Commission in the field of urban air mobility. The aim is to harmonize policy measures between regions and to strengthen the exchange between European cities. 📍 Day 1: Visit the dronePORT of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) with a live drone flight in the control center. In addition, the EU project CITYAM – Preparing cities for sustainable Urban Air Mobility was presented, which deals with the social acceptance of drones in six partner cities. Especially exciting were the results of the modular survey with more than 4,600 participants from all over Europe. You will receive more information about the survey in the coming weeks - stay tuned! 💡 🎓 Day 2: Scientific impulse by Svantje Tabea Kähler (Helmut-Schmidt-University) on participatory methods to increase acceptance. This was followed by an interactive exchange on proven formats and challenges in the field of citizen participation. Another important milestone was the further development of a joint document that brings together practical needs and strategic recommendations for cities. 🤝 New governance structure: Robert Weist (Hamburg Aviation) was appointed as the new coordinator of UIC2, Pedro Fernandez (Madrid City Council) as co-coordinator. We wish them all the best for the next steps! 🌍 Next meeting: In June we will continue in Helsinki, where the focus will be on the integration of drones in digital urban planning. We look forward to actively contributing to the further development of Urban Air Mobility with Hamburg as a model city in the UIC2 community!
