How do you want to move in future cities?

Green Recovery for a new Vision of Sustainable Urban Mobility

TUMI2021 >>> 25 May

>>> The severe social and economic consequences of the pandemic demand creative solutions that will enable cities towards a green and just recovery. At the same time, we are facing a global climate and environmental crisis. It is pivotal that we effectively couple the emergency response to COVID-19 and the Climate Crisis to ensure a climate-compatible and just future. A successful green recovery demands a mix of climate-sensitive and equitable policy approaches; quick and immediate action, as well as finance that is directed where funds are most needed. A clear path towards a post fossil and sustainable transport system is needed. Urban leaders need support to turn away from assets at risk such as fossil fuel-based transport in order to access resources to support a socio-economic revival. Identifying, evaluating and understanding future-proof pathways creates long term certainty for investors and decision makers.

On 25 of May we will meet you in Journee. Enjoy a fully immersive experience where participants can visit high-level talks in the auditorium, join in workshop and live Q&A sessions or experience audiovisual sustainable mobility art with their 3D avatar. Ample networking opportunities will be available including our beach bar with drinks and music.

Our aim is to spark conversations and open doors: We want to stray away from discussing incremental steps towards greener cities. Instead, we are looking for bold ideas and solutions for future urban mobility systems and how political commitments for a Green Recovery can be operationalized to realize these visions.

In this session TUMI will shed light on current trends and initiatives. Let’s help our cities electrify!

● Scaling up Transformation – From temporary to permanent city fixes!

Street space reallocation for walking and cycling proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many cities have found success using quick pilot projects or ‘pop-up’ open streets and cycle lanes, to build support and shift policy to scale-up these interventions and make them permanent. This workshop will examine the tools and strategies cities use to ensure that the temporary re-imaginging of our streets leads to permanent change.

by Narendra Verma / Technical Expert Sustainable Urban Transport Systems, GIZ India
Kirsten Wilkins / Managing Director, Open Streets Cape Town
Shreya Gadepalli / South Asia Director, ITDP India

15:00

● Shaping Inclusive Cities: Bridging the Gender Data Gap – Gender Workshop

Policy and mobility systems can only be be tailored to people’s needs if the mobility behaviours of all users are truly understood through inclusive data. The objective of the workshop is to outline tangible principles and corresponding actions that can be taken to address the gender data gap in transport. These principles and actions will be presented in an infographic/visualization that can be easily understood and shared amongst national and city officials and the transport community at large. The outcomes of the workshop will also directly feed into TUMI’s work under Women Mobilize Women in their upcoming work on addressing the gender data gap.
