URBAN CABLEWAYS
Cableways and mountain railways are not only used in the winter sports industry. They’ve also become a practical means of transportation in cities, which is why we decided to launch SI Urban Magazine. Here we focus on the various topics that are relevant to the urban sector, which are sorted into the categories city, tourism and airport. Each of them will provide you with exciting news about technology, maintenance & service, security, surveillance, city and landscape planning and much more. Innovations, new types of projects and optimal solutions from all over the world should encourage reflection, help in finding ideas and reveal new opportunities.
The marketplace for urban cable cars
Cable cars are on the rise. More and more cities are incorporating the cable-drawn transport system into their transport planning.

Specialist trade fair with integrated congress CABLE CAR WORLD hopes to tackle precisely this issue and to bring together a broad range of stakeholders and decision-makers from politics, administration, planning, science, economics and urban society in Essen, and so to achieve widespread knowledge sharing. On 7th and 8th February 2022 at Essen exhibition centre, it will therefore be all about the subject of the cable car.
