Rethinking Mobility (2019)
Mobility allows us to connect with people and make friends from all over the world, and it brings communities and cultures together. In our globalized world we enjoy a great deal of flexibility in choosing where to live, work, and spend our free time. But we are already beginning to pay the price: Worldwide, the growing energy consumption that powers our mobile lifestyle is one of the main causes of climate change. At the local level, many people suffer from declining air quality, congestion, and overcrowded trains and buses.
The development of sustainable mobility systems requires critical thinking and transdisciplinary cooperation between people from different backgrounds. Therefore, we invited all participants in the fifth edition of ETH Week to think outside the box and reconceptualise the future of mobility:
What are our requirements for the mobility system of the future? How will we travel in 2050? Will our cars, ships, and even airplanes run on fuels synthesised using only sunlight or other renewable sources? How can we better integrate spatial planning, new technologies, and social innovation to meet people's needs more sustainably?
ETH Week 2019 was about moving and connecting people. It was a challenge, but also an opportunity for critical thinking and creativity, for innovation, and for interdisciplinary teamwork.
