Bike Tour / Transport Transition: Challenges, Chances and Solutions

June 14, 2018 @ 7:30 AM - June 15, 2018 @ 12:30 AM

Traffic is increasing in our cities as ever more people move to cities and have mobility requirements. Individual motorised traffic takes up a lot of space, creates more emissions and noise that are bad for both our mental and physical health, and of course, the climate. A transportation transition to sustainable modes of transport is needed: public transport, cycling, walking, e-mobility, inter-modal interconnectivity and sharing systems.

However, the question is how will this be possible? How do we enable sustainable transport modes in cities that were built for cars and in a country with the world’s 4th largest car industry, producing 95% of the world’s luxury cars? What is needed to transform transport into a sustainable activity in people-friendly cities? What are the key challenges and chances for cities and industries? And what are best practice examples? What has been achieved so far and what can you do?

This and much more will be presented this month’s Sustainability Drinks with a bike tour, talks and presentations at the InnoZ space at the EUREF campus for sustainably energy and mobility.

Bike Tour & Talks @5:30pm

Bike tour on the topic of sustainable mobility with Carrie Hampel from SustainablyMobile: The tour takes participants from the EUREF Campus to Gleisdreieck Park, across Tempelhofer Feld and ends with a summary performance back at the EUREF campus.
**Bring your own bike and a picnic!**

In case of heavy rain, the bike tour presentation will be conducted entirely on campus from 6:30 pm (still bring picnic!).

Quickpitches of this event

ReApp - Sustainability game app

The ReApp is an app that addresses the most common issues regarding a sustainable lifestyle:
- Global issues are too abstract
- Feeling that one's actions are not changing anything at all
- Too much things one could do towards a more sustainable lifestyle—decision fatigue which leads to doing nothing at all
- Not knowing where to start

We will have a workshop at OSCEdays developing ideas and prototypes of an app addressing these issues.
