Detailed description (English): Transitioning to smart and low carbon mobility requires a shift in mode use within our cities. Encouraging sustainable mobility choices both in the centre and outskirts means re-thinking mobility systems to make our activities more climate neutral, liveable, and inclusive.
Part of this consists in re-arranging public space to bring amenities and people needs closer to where they live. Tactical urbanism, such as greening and repurposing of existing infrastructure – like parking spaces – are great tools to reach this goal and create more healthy streets for liveable communities.
In this Mobility Talks ‘(Re)-connecting cities: mobility, people, and places’, panelist will discuss transition strategies to more liveable spaces, covering aspects from street design to access management and land use in cities. The discussion will touch upon – among others – the impact of such changes to the public space and the role of engagement with citizens and stakeholders to plan more walkable and more pleasant streets.
Speakers:
- Alexandra Gomes is a Research Fellow responsible for coordinating LSE Cities‘ spatial analysis across multiple projects.
- Maximilian Jäger is a spatial planner and economist, with a background in social innovation research.
