Drive or Ditch

Cars play an important role in our society. 42% of trips in the Rotterdam-Delft-Den Haag region are made by car. They are popular due the fact that they are always available, travel times are relatively low, and they offer a high level of comfort. At the same time, cars take up a lot of space, have a negative impact on air quality and noise pollution, and a large proportion of accidents are caused by cars. An important question to be answered is what the role of the car will be in the future. How do we keep our cities accessible and livable as the population continues to grow and we also need more space for housing, energy, green areas, etc.? During this inspiration session we will share results of current research, use the brainpower of students to identify innovative solutions for the Innovation District Delft and invite citizens to think along and indicate their preferences.
