Bye-bye Car Park? How New Mobility is Making Our Cities More Liveable

What will the city of tomorrow look like when mobility is rethought? AI, digitalisation and autonomous driving are not only changing the automotive industry, but also everyday life, neighbourhoods and the use of urban spaces. What does this mean for streets, squares and neighbourhoods - and who decides on the new rules of interaction?

This panel brings design, urban planning and politics into dialogue and shows how creative methods translate technological developments into liveable solutions: Less friction, more safety, better participation and more attractive public spaces. The focus is on networked systems, new services and design ideas that use mobility as a lever for urban quality - and turn transformation into real places of the future.

In cooperation with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA).
