Designing Car-Low Cities
Location: Room - Diamond
Increasing housing density and decreasing space for transport infrastructure and private parking are threatening the sustainable accessibility and livability of urban regions. There is an urgent need for space-efficient new mobility technologies that do not depend on the single use and possession of a private car. A key-question to be answered is: “What is the optimal mix of interventions given the different objectives of cities?” During this workshop we will identify different objectives and key-performance indicators and co-design a car-low urban area in Amsterdam using an interactive digital twin approach.

Daniel Scheerooren, Project manager, AMS institute / Municipality Amsterdam Working in different roles at international consultancy firms, universities and research institutes, Daniel has dedicated his career on advancing clean and affordable mobility. His work experience in the Netherlands, Thailand, and Australia has provided him with a solid understanding of global mobility and urban decarbonisation challenges. Next to his mobility experience, he has over four years of experience in climate and carbon finance instruments. In the project on ‘Trade and Travel’ he combines the field of mobility and environmental credits to explore the opportunities for market-based instruments in changing mobility behaviour. |
