Let's collect the most powerful new mobility imaginaries to unlock our thinking! Part II
The dominant efficiency- and speed based narrative of urban mobility limits our understanding of mobility phenomena and ultimately limits the effectiveness of our transport policy interventions and technological innovations. This narrative dates back to choices that were made in the 1920s and have since then solidified into common guidelines, models, laws and institutions, into concrete, steel and technologies, and into the limits of our imagination. Indeed, the domination of a nearly centenary narrative is most unlikely to contribute to the resolution of problems that were unthinkable when its seed was forcefully planted.
Radical change of mobility requires radical ways of thinking.
Radical ways of thinking requires new imaginaries.
Let's collect here the imaginaries that can help us further. Which ones have you encountered? Put them in the comments and I will keep updating this. This is an update of new favourites after the first version that you can find here.
