I’m delighted to announce I’ve joined the New Cities Foundation as a (non-resident) senior fellow for 2015-2016 to lead its new Connected Mobility Initiative. This year-long research project will continue the line of inquiry that began with consulting on New York University’s “Reprogramming Mobility” research, as well as my own report for the University of Toronto’s Global Solution Networks initiative. From the foundation’s site:
Urban mobility is evolving rapidly as one million people move to cities every week. Change is also being driven by other factors such as technological innovations, increased constraints on energy use, deep changes in the structure of urban economies, shifting lifestyles and new ideas about urban design.
We launched the Connected Mobility Initiative with support from the Toyota Mobility Foundation to address the critical need for metropolises worldwide to find viable mobility solutions of the future.
The Initiative will produce an in-depth report outlining early examples of public sector-led innovation around connected transportation, with the aim of distilling lessons for the public sector officials, technology vendors, and citizens necessary to bring these visions to fruition in different cities worldwide.
We have appointed mobility expert Greg Lindsay as New Cities Foundation’s Senior Fellow to lead the Initiative from 2015-16. Greg Lindsay is a journalist, urbanist, futurist, and speaker. He is co-author of Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next and a visiting scholar at New York University’s Rudin Center for Transportation Policy & Management.
Over the next 12 months, Greg will share his insights into the future of urban mobility at the New Cities Foundation’s global events including the New Cities Summit and Cities on the Move.
The Initiative was launched in June 2015 and the report will be published in the summer of 2016.
