With the team of the TU Delft Mobilisers, we developed 4 future mobility scenarios. These scenarios are no predictions or desired future, but a framework to discuss future directions, shaping the future of mobility, and innovation, research and education agendas accordingly. Find the report HERE.

In addition to the general scenario description, the 12 Mobilisers, from 6 faculties, also wrote perspectives on their own domains. Read my perspectives on public transport and shared mobility HERE or in the infographic. Sources are accessible via the links below the figure.
