Sustainable and equitable policies on emerging technologies
Location: Oregon Convention Center - C-122
Climate change, scarce space, energy crisis, polarization are increasingly large and complex societal challenges. Emerging technologies could offer a solution, if well implemented. This requires new policies aimed at a broad set of societal goals. This session explains the European policy paradigm shift towards sustainable and equitable policies that focus on welfare beyond GDP. European research on mobility transition, energy poverty and population groups and their relations with emerging technologies are discussed. The studies expose underlying public values as well as ethical perspectives.
CE Credits for APA, AIA, and ASLA, should be available for many sessions and workshops. More information on this will be available shortly.

Geiske Bouma, TNO Vector Geiske Bouma is Senior Researcher in the field of Urban Planning and Governance Innovation. Her projects are focused on urban, spatial and environmental planning and the policy interface. The working field she is focused on is the connection of urban planning in relation to the mobility and energy transition gearing towards climate neutral and smart cities. She combines this with supporting policy development on the local, regional and national/EU level. Geiske is active in several European projects aimed at climate neutrality: NetZeroCities, MOVE21 (hubs for people and goods), ATELIER (positive Energy Districts). |

Isabel Wilmink, TNO Isabel Wilmink studied Civil Engineering at Delft University of Technology and joined TNO as a traffic engineer in 1995. She has extensive experience in projects on sustainable traffic management and connected, cooperative and automatic driving, and scenario and evaluation studies on the effects of innovative traffic measures on different dimensions of welfare beyond GDP. This includes looking at the functioning of the mobility system and the impact of the mobility system on the living environment, accessibility, safety and health. Also, the distributional effects of measures on population groups, regions and time periods are taken into account. |
