The document discusses smart and connected urban mobility. It proposes that unused resources like excess road capacity on Sundays or underutilized private vehicles can be shared to improve urban environments. Platforms are needed to enable participation and connection between people and available resources. When resources are efficiently shared, it leads to smarter cities with improved quality of life for residents.
