The following report is from Smart Cities World:
A new coalition of cities which will work together to make the possibility of advanced and urban aerial mobility a reality has been announced.
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), which launched the Advanced and Urban Aerial Mobility Cities and Regions Coalition, local policymakers are still a long way from understanding how best to approach these technologies and the challenges they will bring.
WEF is calling for a “proactive policy” approach to congestion, inclusivity, noise and privacy if the benefits of urban aerial mobility (UAM) are to be realized.
Advanced Mobility Technologies
David Hyde, lead, aerospace, WEF, said that city leaders have a great opportunity to ensure that emerging advanced aerial mobility technologies are implemented in ways that work for cities and their communities “rather than the other way around”.
By taking a proactive approach to advanced aerial mobility technologies before they are fully rolled out, leaders can ensure that AAM (advanced air mobility) avoids the issues we see with other forms of transportation today, such as inefficiency, congestion, noise disturbance and inequity.
He added
By bringing together cities and regions at the forefront of UAM, WEF reports the coalition will collaborate and share expertise to develop a range of solutions that other cities and regions can adopt based on their own circumstances.
Founding city and region members include: Amsterdam; Massachusetts; Orlando; Los Angeles; Île-de-France (Paris region); and Sao Paulo.
The coalition intends to build on work that has taken place in Europe under the Urban-Air-Mobility Initiative Cities Community (UIC2) of the European Union’s Smart Cities Marketplace. UIC2 will also join as a founding member and European arm of the coalition representing 37 cities and regions.
With significant growth of urban centres expected in coming decades, cities and regions are increasingly thinking about how to enable the efficient movement of people and goods, including breakthroughs in new aviation technologies.
WEF notes this will not only connect more remote communities with the economic opportunities within cities but will also enhance transport options, with minimal investment in infrastructure compared to ground-based alternatives.
As a future-ready city, the City of Orlando wants to be prepared to embrace new transportation amenities that enhance our regional connectivity and allow us to efficiently move residents, visitors and goods throughout our community.
We are proud to be collaborating and sharing experiences with other cities and regions to explore the best approaches to incorporating these new aviation technologies to serve as a major backbone of our future transportation network.
Said Buddy Dyer, mayor of Orlando
Egbert de Vries, alderman for traffic and transport, water and air quality for the City of Amsterdam, added:
The city of Amsterdam is committed to ensure a safe, inclusive and sustainable living environment for our citizens, businesses and visitors. As the largest city of the Netherlands, we have been closely following and studying the growth of emerging drone technology and urban air mobility, as members of the UIC2, to view its potential but also to look at the risks and how to mitigate them.
The ecosystem of the World Economic Forum and the AAM/UAM Cities and Regions Coalition helps us to share with, and learn from, other cities and excel our mutual learning process in the space of a new technology, policy making and 3D smart mobility concepts. This will enable us to make the right decisions for a future ready environment.
The Advanced and Urban Aerial Mobility (AAM/UAM) Cities and Regions Coalition was launched during Amsterdam Drone Week (29-31 March), a global platform for exchanging knowledge and expertise on air mobility solutions, innovations, and essential regulations.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. [6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.Genesis 11:3-6
It is a recreation of the tower of babel, only now it is global.

Pretty much everything the WEF is calling for is outright or implicitly talked about in their visions for 2030 (see above).
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Interesting list of cities, considering what they’re famous for, sort of surprised that Rome isn’t on there (probably is, but keeping that profile occulted) : “Founding city and region members include: Amsterdam; Massachusetts; Orlando; Los Angeles; Île-de-France (Paris region); and Sao Paulo.”
I’m beginning to look with suspicion on any endeavor that has the ‘Initiative’ label: “The coalition intends to build on work that has taken place in Europe under the Urban-Air-Mobility Initiative Cities Community (UIC2) of the European Union’s Smart Cities Marketplace. UIC2 will also join as a founding member and European arm of the coalition representing 37 cities and regions.
This is ominous w/ the poisoning of the land, hindering peoples’ access to food, & their idea of ‘sustainable’ & ‘efficient’ are frightening to say the least. ‘new aviation technologies’ is interesting, too… I noticed another spate of UFO stories recently. : “With significant growth of urban centres expected in coming decades, cities and regions are increasingly thinking about how to enable the efficient movement of people and goods, including breakthroughs in new aviation technologies.”

Some of us would rather STAY remote : – / … economic opportunities for the few, the controlling, the like-minded cronies….minimal investment in infrastructure, read allowing roadways, bridges etc to deteriorate /w excuse as they re-imagine & fight over which pockets receive the ‘savings’:
“WEF notes this will not only connect more remote communities with the economic opportunities within cities but will also enhance transport options, with minimal investment in infrastructure compared to ground-based alternatives.”

Hopefully the dialectitions are trying to frighten us with worst case scenarios to make people feel relieved & more likely to accept things when the takeovers are a bit less & slower. in the typical pattern. Though everything since 2019 has been ramped up several notches…to say the least.

Been thinking about the beasts of Revelation 4 & how these technologies are trying to copy them. Wings & eyes. It’s not like they’re ever truly original.

Re 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Re 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Re 4:8 ¶ And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
