Transforming Iasi into a smart and sustainable city 

Iasi, Romania, is evolving into a Smart City with the goal of improving the quality of life for its citizens. In 2020, the municipality joined the Intelligent Cities Challenge, focusing on creating an intelligent, sustainable environment. This initiative is driven by a blend of smart governance, mobility, and environmental practices, positioning Iasi as a model for future urban development. 

Innovative transportation solutions 
Key activities include expanding charging stations for electric vehicles, introducing public transport with bicycle racks, and implementing an Integrated Mobility Plan. The city combines bike, car, and scooter sharing with traditional transport, making mobility seamless and eco-friendly. An app for ticketing and real-time updates complements these solutions, enhancing convenience for users. 

Inclusive design for everyone 
Iasi’s Smart City project is designed to benefit everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Initiatives such as audio devices for visually impaired passengers and loudspeakers at transport stations ensure accessibility. By creating an inclusive, sustainable transport system, the project aims to improve mobility and participation for all residents, enhancing social inclusion.
