Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How do you build a city everyone can access?
Q: What would success look like in a few years in terms of truly accessible and inclusive mobility?
A vision where nobody is left behind, with safe, included transit, a culture shift toward shared mobility, financial sustainability for city investments, and a broadened network that makes car-dependency unnecessary for everyday travel.
How do you build a city everyone can access?
Q: Can you tell us about the specific work Mannheim is doing through the Upper Project, and how those measures help advance mobility as a right?
Mannheim uses Upper as a living lab to test small, scalable changes that make public transport easier to use, such as on-demand last-mile services, data collection to understand mobility needs, and integrating micro-mobility in a regulated way to extend coverage beyond city centers.
How do you build a city everyone can access?
Q: So let's start broadly. Mobility is a right is a phrase that many people may not hear every day, but it speaks to something that affects all of us.
It frames transport as a fundamental entitlement, prompting us to consider fair access to jobs, education, healthcare, and daily life, which motivates structural changes beyond just moving people from A to B.
How Grenoble is using street design to reshape everyday life
Q: What advice would you give another city starting a similar project?
Start with a careful diagnostic of the streets and prioritization, then pilot one street in each city sector to develop a transferable method before scaling up.
How Grenoble is using street design to reshape everyday life
Q: What are some common features of the redesigned school streets?
The streets are car-free, vegetated, with playful furniture, water features, and distinctive ground markings that invite children and families to use the space for play and socializing.
