Multimodal urban transit and society

The number of people living in urban areas is expected to hit six billion by 2045. Expecting our driver-centric infrastructure to accommodate everyone by then is a pipe dream.

In moving from a “mobility as a privilege” mindset to mobility as a service (MaaS), providers will need to partner up, technology will need to create new value, urbanism will need to evolve, and systems will have to operate according to one principle: it’s all about the user.

KEY TOPICS

  • NEW MOBILITIES – As electric, shared and autonomous mobility is implemented, how will it impact the mobility ecosystem?
  • URBANISM AND INFRASTRUCTURE – What is the impact of new mobility on city planning, and what new solutions – like space as a service – can we expect in the near future?
  • MULTIMODAL TRANSIT – How can we design smart cities while keeping mobility models such as sharing and hailing technologies, as well as automated vehicles, in mind?
  • PEOPLE-FRIENDLY MOBILITY – What defines an inclusive, safe and efficient mobility strategy, and can it be financed?
  • MICHELIN CHALLENGE DESIGN – How can we design user-centric experiences that solve the megacity mobility challenges of 2035?
