Workshop: Co-Creating a Vision for the Dutch Mobility System in 2050

How do we create a mobility system that is sustainable, affordable, inclusive & equitable, resilient, safe, promotes a healthy lifestyle, and contributes to liveable cities? The Mobilisers, a team of 12 talented mobility researchers from 6 faculties at TU Delft, have embarked on a journey to explore just that. 

Policymakers and stakeholders are warmly invited to join us on September 20th to learn about the Mobilisers’ draft vision for the Dutch mobility system in 2050 and engage in discussions with other senior stakeholders in the mobility domain about the future of mobility in The Netherlands. 

The aim of this co-creation event is to fine-tune and enrich the draft vision for the desired future mobility that TU Delft researchers will present, explore possible pathways to achieve this vision, and foster potential collaborations among the stakeholders present. 

Your knowledge and expertise are highly valuable for shaping the future of the Dutch mobility system as well as steering future academic research and public-private partnerships.  

We hope that you will join us on September 20!

About the Mobilisers

The TU Delft | Transport & Mobility Institute took the initiative to launch a vision team entitled ‘Mobilisers’. The goal of this project is to develop scenarios for the future of mobility and transportation from the various disciplines within TU Delft and to arrive at an action plan and research agenda. The Mobilisers co-create their work together with internal and external stakeholders. The Mobiliser team consists of 12 mobility researchers from 6 faculties, supported by experts from the Transport & Mobility Institute, our Innovation & Impact Center, and communication. For an overview of all team members, please visit Mobilisers Team. 

TU Delft | City on the move 

This event is part of the TU Delft campaign ‘City on the move’, in which we highlight how our research and innovative projects contribute to improving urban mobility. With this campaign we participate in the European Mobility Week. 

Smart mobility hubs, car-free neighbourhoods, zero-emission zones and one day perhaps self-driving and self-parking cars. The city is full of opportunities to improve accessibility, liveability and safety. 

This is needed, as cities in Europe are becoming increasingly crowded with more residents, more visitors and more logistics. People are stuck in traffic jams, emit a lot of CO2, cause accidents, and finding a parking spot can be a challenge. In our cities, there is a battle for limited space: should we prioritise nature or parking spaces in our streets? 

Delft urban mobility scientists are developing much-needed knowledge and solutions to make transport in our busy cities smart, clean and safe for everyone. We are building bikes that won't topple over and autonomous boats to deliver packages over water. We are developing apps to make shared transport user-friendly. We are tinkering with algorithms for self-driving, electric vehicles. And we implement car-free neighbourhoods and green corridors for pedestrians. With our tools, data visualizations, digital twins and serious games, we help municipalities in the Netherlands and Europe with their mobility issues. 

This is how we accelerate the mobility transition and make cities green, safe and accessible for everyone. Read more about the societal challenges we work on on our website.
