The motto this year is “New mobility and the transformation of our cities”
The 9th International Cities for Mobility Congress will take place under the title “New mobility and the transformation of our cities” on 17-19 June 2018 at Stuttgart City Hall. The event is addressed to municipal practitioners, decision makers, researchers, entrepreneurs and initiatives from civil society and combines presentations with practical activities, such as trainings, interactive workshops, excursions and contact forums.
The event will focus on mobility trends and their influence on creating livable public spaces in cities, tackling especially the importance of mobility experiments and innovations with measures for the benefit of citizens as well as a careful design and use of public space that prioritises sustainable modes of transport. Further topics that will be discussed at the congress are new concepts for the development of public transport services, innovations in city logistics and the expansion of shared transport models (car/bike sharing, ride sharing).
