Designing car-low cities

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.
