3rd European Automotive and Mobility Services Conference
14 Sep - 15 Sep 2022
Session information
Infrastructure/urban planning and regulation/environmental innovations - a discussion of some of the social, economic, political and regulatory challenges in developing an effective response to the competing mobility options
Thursday 15 September (1115 - 1200)
Description
The internal combustion engine has been the dominant drive system in Europe over the last century and has helped to shape and reconfigure the urban landscape. The coming decades will see a dramatic shift in transportation in the face of competing forms of mobility and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Massive infrastructure investment will be necessary to take account of the needs of these alternative forms of mobility and to establish integrated transport networks of people and goods. This will have a dramatic impact both on urban planning and on the regulatory framework in which these services are provided. The aim of this session is to look at:
- the longer-term opportunities for transforming the urban landscape from the launch of the self-driving car to the integration of micro-mobility as a significant contributor to transport ecosystems
- Some of the social and economic challenges
- Politics of mobility
