Mobility hubs for people and goods –benefits and challenges from public, private, and community perspectives


This session offers insights from experiences of Oslo, Gothenburg, and Hamburg, who have set up a variety of types of mobility hubs within the ‘MOVE21’ Horizon2020 project. The inputs showcase how the cities have been implementing micro-depots in neighbourhoods, combining different modes of transport within a mobility hub, or reaching out to more suburban areas. It will describe how multiple transitions interact when developing mobility hubs for people and goods, and explain what benefits and challenges are occurring when developing mobility hubs – with the goal of commenting on new ways over cooperation between public, private, and community partners.
