Cities in the Middle Ages were created at intersections of traffic routes, transitions on rivers, secure places to defend and to allow the exchange and trade of goods. Often, these structures have been created without a final masterplan and very often do not meet the current requirements of all aspects of mobility. So, what to change?
After all, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in a city by 2050, predicts the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, cities with more than ten million inhabitants were only in the realm of fantasy. However, the population explosion of the recent past caused more than 30 such giant cities to become a stony reality worldwide by 2018.
Although digitization, IoT and Artificial Intelligence are having more and more impact on our lives, people are “always online” and connected, mobility is one of the basic needs of humanity. How will we move in these megacities in the future? Is there still room for individual mobility?
Angelika Sodian’s keynote opens the session with insights about the Future of Mobility from a Chinese perspective. To give you an overview how to manage our journey of Change to a smarter and more sustainable way of Mobility the following presentations will discuss alternative aspects about the future role of cars. Barbara Flügge will introduce Smart Mobility Concepts and experiences and Karl-Filip Coenegrachts presents the vision how to build a true city of people. Finally, Hannes Voraberger will address various aspects implementing affordable, save and secure technology and applications for our vision of Future Mobility.
