From fantasy to reality: Building the city of tomorrow together

Ford Motor Company hosted the City of Tomorrow Symposium in New Delhi to explore new ways of making our cities work better in the future through innovative uses of technology and collaboration between the public and private sectors.

The City of Tomorrow reflects Ford’s long-term vision to help make people’s lives better by changing the way the world moves with world-class vehicles, mobility services and a wider range of transportation solutions. As part of this strategy, Ford recently partnered with the city of Indore, signing a memorandum of understanding to work together to address their most pressing transportation issues.

The goal of the proposed collaboration is to help the Indore public transport body manage its current and planned infrastructure through better implementation of technology and data analytics. In essence, Ford will support the development of custom city transportation solutions for improved mobility in the city.

“The transportation models that exist around the world today simply will not work tomorrow. Ford has an aspiration - that urban transport systems will be free from congestion, rich in choices, and provide mobility for all,” said Rajendra Rao, CEO, and Ford Smart Mobility LLC.

“Breakthrough solutions are needed to achieve this. Getting there will require a leap in our collective thinking, working with cities and partners who are agents of change.”
