  1. Mobility and the City Group 4 Yasmine El Alj Martin Lehner Daniel Schmidbaur Emily Sterzin Ryan Tam Alexander Weis Ryan Welsh Shiro Yamanaka

  2. The Task • Develop different scenarios of mobility for the future (2050) • City planning • Mobility networks

  3. Criteria of Good Mobility • Assumptions • Focus on developed countries • Mobility (freedom to travel) is a good thing • Criteria of Good Mobility • Connectivity • Affordability • Accessibility • Sustainability

  4. Current Issues • Congestion • Capacity limits – infrastructure • Individual vs community planning • Ageing population • Environmental degradation • Lack of connectivity

  5. Scenarios • Base case • Extrapolation of current trends with incremental changes • Energy revolution • Find a new source of clean, affordable energy • Dawn of a dark age • Energy crisis, oil supply exhausted

  6. Scenarios

  7. Base Case • Cities organized in self-sufficient communities / decentralization • City infrastructure based on underground highways and more space for pedestrian areas, bike lanes • Intracity transportation • Car sharing • Small, fuel efficient cars • Services aimed at aging population • Intercity passenger transportation based on high speed rail and air travel but capacity has to be increased • Increase of efficiency of cargo shipping • Flexible, personalized travelling by IT solutions

  8. Energy Revolution New form of energy replaces the internal combustion engine • Urban form • Sprawl increases • Outer city centers grow • Transportation • Short term: more individual travel • Automated highways may increase capacity • Long term: congestion increases; use of mass transport increases • Lifestyle • People continue to travel more • Congestion pricing used to reduce trips (polarization of society)

  9. Dawn of a New Dark Age Assumption: Oil supplies exhausted • Urban form • Development of more compact cities • Aggregation around mass transit • Parking, highway space available for other uses • Geographical and social segregation • Transportation • Shift to forms of mass transit • Fewer and shorter trips (less VMT) • Less individual travel • Lifestyle • Reduction in car ownership • Staggered work hours; Leisure travel drops

  10. Outlook • New modes of mass transportation could emerge • Flying cars • Teleportation • Problems • Car accidents become more fatal • Buffer congestion / overrun problems • Congestion will still affect mobility
