November 8th in Aalborg, Denmark, free of charge to participate

The City of Aalborg and Aalborg University (Centre for Mobilities & Urban Studies) welcome all interested parties – researchers, practitioners and public, to a one-day PHYSICAL workshop focusing on imagining future automated mobilities as part of the Interreg project ART-Forum.

Building on insights from keynotes by Dr. Jack Stilgoe, Professor Glenn Lyons and Associate Professor Ditte Bendix Lanng, the workshop will introduce conceptual and theoretical tools, and the discussions of the day will target four main questions:

  1. System level: How does the technology function as infrastructure?
  2. Community level: How does the technology connect to communities (“Commoning”)?
  3. Individual level: How does the technology fit into everyday life and ways of using it?
  4. Strategic level: What are the future implication for policy and planning?

The workshop takes place at the venue of a pilot with a self-driving bus in the eastern part of Aalborg (Denmark) on November 8th from 9.30 and ending with a conference dinner at 17.30. It is free of charge to participate.
