Experts agree that the future of urban mobility will be intermodal! But what about now? How can current challenges be addressed and solved to live in a future that still allow us to move freely and individually through both - the city and their suburbs? Buildung more roads and selling more cars will end up in even more congestion while also loosing the human scale of liveable communities. Encouraging a mobility behaviour that utilizes the infrastructure we have, while also fostering innovations is what we need to aim for. While mobile technology is starting to enable this intermodal mobility by creating platforms that connect all kinds of transport modes, the whole transportation infrastructure should be optimized for the behaviour.
This course is supposed to analyse the intersection points of transport modes on different scales. Mobility stations are bundling many modes of transport and are therefore optimized for intermodal mobility - but what does this implicate? Exemplarly questions that could be addressed and researched by the participants are:
- What are the conditions regarding different types of spatial structures?
- What are the reqirements in terms of urban design?
- How can the built environment support multimodal mobility behaviour?
- What are general barriers of the built environement for intermodal mobility?
- Who is responsible for operating this inrfrastructure?
After a short introduction phase and deeping inputs the students will start working on specific project. At the end of the seminar all groups will be invited to present their ideas and results at the moovel lab headquarter in Stuttgart. A short report to be delivered after the semniar will summerize the groups' results.
