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.
