** NEW SPEAKERS **
What should we prioritise to tackle London’s transport problems - micromobility or mass transit? Join our next City Makers’ Forum for a lively debate on this urgent topic on Thurs 17 October.
We’ve seen a huge rise in innovations in personal mobility in London. The growing popularity of micromobility - e-bikes, e-scooters and app-based cycle hire - is widely seen as key to sustainable cities.
This mode of transport is more environmentally friendly than conventional vehicles and it could help to massively reduce air pollution and congestion.
Yet micromobility won’t meet all of London’s growing transport needs as it's not accessible to all users. We still need investment and implementation of major public transport infrastructure to connect our city for all.
So what should we prioritise for the future of London’s transport? Join the debate at Micromobility vs Mass Transit: Tackling London’s transport problems, supported by Hatch.
We are trying a new format with an active debate to challenge existing perceptions and tease out the big questions on the future of public transport, with plenty of time for networking with other professionals. Confirmed debaters:
▶ Neil Walmsley, UK/Europe Regional Director, Urban Solutions, Hatch (chair)
▶ Jim Hubbard, Senior Public Policy Manager, Voi Technology
▶ Marie Feuvrier, Senior Consultant, Momentum Transport Consultancy
▶ Sam Margolis, Head of Transport Strategy & Projects, London Borough of Camden
▶ Jessica Potter, Urban Design Team Leader, Southwark Council
When: Thursday 17 October 2024, 5pm to 7:30pm
Where/Format: in person, London EC1
