Metropolitan Mobility Podcast

“Mobility as a Service provides more mobility options to those that already have a lot of options.” Geert Kloppenburg and Carin ten Hage speak with Professor Sofia Ranchordás (University of Groningen) on how a municipality can inclusively redesign its mobility structure, the need for more social transportation and why transport poverty is invisible for most policymakers.

A Radical Redesign for Amsterdam is produced in behalf of the municipality of Amsterdam.

Carin ten Hage en ik blikken in deze compilatie aflevering terug op de belangrijkste conclusies uit de hele serie interviews over de magie van Mobility as a Service (MaaS). 

In de negende en laatste aflevering van de serie A Radical Redesign for Amsterdam, bespreken Carin ten Hage en Geert Kloppenburg de afgelopen afleveringen. Wat voor antwoorden krijg je als je mobiliteit experts van over de hele wereld vraagt: ‘Wat als je het hele mobiliteitssysteem van Amsterdam radicaal zou kunnen herontwerpen? Wat zijn voorwaarden die we moeten stellen aan het digitale domein?’ Wat antwoord je op de vraag die terugkomt: ‘Wat is het doel? Wat voor stad wil je zijn?’ 

De eerdere afleveringen nog niet geluisterd? Je vindt ze in je favoriete podcastapp of op de website van Geert.

A Radical Redesign for Amsterdam wordt gemaakt in opdracht van de Gemeente Amsterdam.

“We have a chance to try to engineer some of the better bits of this.” Is covid-19 offering us the chance to radically change our behaviour and help us to comply with the Paris Agreement?

‘’Vergrijzing kan een enorme maatschappelijke potentie hebben.’’ Geert Kloppenburg en Alexander van Altena spreken met rijksbouwmeester Floris Alkemade over waarom verandering eigenlijk helemaal niet radicaal is. Wat gebeurt er als je met andere ontwerpprincipes naar mobiliteit gaat kijken? En hoe kunnen we buitenwijken inrichten voor de mobiliteit van de toekomst?

Op onderzoek in de stedelijke regio van Limburg, reisde ik 3 dagen met de fiets door o.a. Venlo, Roermond, Sittard, Heerlen, Parkstad en Kerkrade. Aan zijn keukentafel ga ik in gesprek met Lennard van Damme, een geboren Zeeuw maar al 20 jaar werkzaam als ambtenaar bij provincie Limburg. 

Waarover? De echte uitdagingen qua woningmarkt, de Randstelijke bril en de bijzondere eigenschappen van deze stedelijke regio.

They talk about how introducing a ping pong table brings people together, how you (urban) plan for the unexpected and how the city of Milan built 60 kilometers of cycling track in a year.
