Livable cities entail full participation in all areas of life for people with disabilities. In spite of the many efforts that have been made in this regard, ableism is still pervasive in areas such as higher education and the arts, with students and academics facing attitudinal barriers, invisible work and a lack of accessibility literacy. A number of solutions for these mostly easy to overcome barriers are put forward.

Autonomous vehicles still need progress towards algorithms for perception in all-environmental conditions (e.g.bad weather). Data collection in such conditions needs complex equipment hard to set-up. At UPC-CD6 (https://www.cd6.upc.edu) we have built an instrumented car with multiple imaging modes (3D+2D) for mapping and sensor testing uses, and to build a publc dataset of driving scenarios to develop DL perception algorithms based on data fusion

In 2022, the Mantenim Circular project was launched, thanks to the joint work between the ITeC and the Waste Agency of Catalonia. The main objective of this initiative is to give a second life to products and materials in the construction sector. Without wanting to compete with any marketplace, Mantenim Circular aims to connect the available databases with the potential of existing circularity of materials.

 Cities are rapidly transforming their services to address societal, environmental and economic challenges. Verticals are progressively replaced by solutions capable of exploiting a huge range of data channels, via Artificial Intelligence, and cross exploiting data. Snap4City manages multiple domains in the city/area operating system enabling operation, management, plan and strategic views for mobility and transport, tourism, security, etc.
