🇪🇺 Europe needs real-time supply-chain intelligence.
In the #EuropeanParliament, we discussed how data can reveal strategic dependencies, systemic risks, and resilience gaps – and why this matters for Europe’s competitiveness and autonomy.

Between 1850 and 1910 the population of Vienna almost quadrupled, from about half a million, to two million. During this Golden Age of Science and Culture, more than half of the Viennese population came from outside Vienna, and a significant share came from outside what today constitutes Austria.

How can car traffic in cities be reduced? New research by CSH's @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social shows that while metros are effective in reducing car traffic, a study of nearly 400 European cities finds no evidence that trams have the same effect: csh.ac.at/news/metros-...
