The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government published in December 2020 the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong 2.0 (Blueprint), setting out the initiatives for smart city development with a view to addressing the challenges of city management and improving people's livelihood through innovation and technology. Smart mobility is one of the key areas identified in the Blueprint.  To set out the strategy and roadmap for delivering the various smart mobility initiatives in the Blueprint, the Transport Department published the Smart Mobility Roadmap for Hong Kong. The Roadmap adopts SIGMA as its vision: S stands for Safe, I for Informative, G for Green, M for Mobile and A for Accessible; and comprises smart mobility initiatives under three areas: 1 smart transport infrastructure, 2 data sharing and analytics and 3 applications and services.  Mr Michael LAW will present the various smart mobility initiatives mentioned in the Roadmap and how they would enhance the mobility of Hong Kong citizens.
