Knappe Kassen, große Ziele – Wege zur Mobilität der Zukunft im urbanen Raum | Citizens Lab, IAA Open Space

In the organizer's words:

Cycle paths, sharing fleets and attractive public transport networks are seen as levers for the mobility turnaround - but in many municipalities, expansion is stalling. A lack of money, overburdened planning authorities and lengthy approvals are putting the brakes on visions. In this panel discussion, representatives from the start-up world, administration, politics and innovation promotion will shed light on how cities can remain capable of acting despite tight budgets. The discussion will focus on creative financing models, prioritization in the budget, temporary infrastructure (e.g. "pop-up cycle paths") and the role of pilot projects. Real-life case studies, lessons learned and controversial positions provide material for a lively debate. The audience will gain practical insights into which adjustments need to be made now in order to overcome the investment backlog.
