How can cities evaluate the impact of Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) on people’s lives? This presentation introduces two decision-support tools developed by Future Needs in the context of the SESAR 3 JU-funded ImAFUSA project: an Accessibility Tool and a Welfare Impact Tool, designed to help urban and transport planners assess the spatial and socioeconomic implications of IAM integration. The Accessibility Tool focuses on two key indicators showing how access to IAM hubs varies across the urban area and revealing spatial mismatches between where people live and where jobs are located. These indicators help identify underserved zones and demonstrate the potential of IAM to improve access equity. The Welfare Tool models how IAM affects broader economic conditions using two indicators capturing how proximity to IAM infrastructure might influence property values and reflecting productivity gains linked to increased connectivity. These indicators are grounded in urban economic theory and support scenario-based planning. The development of these tools builds on recent research extending the SUAMI framework for sustainable IAM assessment by integrating selected indicators from the SUMI framework. While this research provides the conceptual foundation, the presentation focuses on how these insights are applied in practice to create actionable tools for decision-makers.
