City dwellers would likely want noise reduction and less pollution. With sustainability and solution-oriented leaders in the driver&#8217;s seat, it\u2019s entirely possible that we might one day breathe cleaner, healthier urban air. The cities of tomorrow might actually offer more tranquility and connection, even in the busiest and most populated metropolitan areas.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"accordion\" class=\"podcast-infonotes\">\n  <div class=\"card\">\n    <div class=\"card-header\" id=\"headingOne\">\n      <span class=\"mb-0\">\n        <button class=\"btn btn-link collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapseOne\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseOne\">\n          Expand Show Notes        <\/button>\n      <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div id=\"collapseOne\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"headingOne\" data-parent=\"#accordion\">\n      <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <p>In this episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/edward-bernardon-922442_womendrivingthefuture-futurecarpodcast-womeninmobility-activity-6730459153652871168-PMZV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women Driving the Future<\/a> series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/edward-bernardon-922442\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Bernardon<\/a> talks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/akollmorgen\/?originalSubdomain=de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrea Kollmorge<\/a>n, VP Head of <a href=\"https:\/\/new.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/energy\/medium-voltage\/solutions\/emobility.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connected (e)Mobility<\/a>, based in Munich.
