Mobility or more: the challenge policy makers are posing us academics with broad prosperity.
Wijnand Veeneman (TPM) will together with Erik Minck (Ministerie of Infrastructuur & Waterstaat) give the next Transport Tuesday talk on November 19th at Lijm en Cultuur, Rotterdamseweg 272 in Delft.
Over the last decades, transport research has been focusing on the flow of traffic. In a slow process, policy makers and researchers alike have become aware that this flow is not intrinsically good. The approach to deal with it has been looking at the downsides mostly as “externalities”. The broad prosperity perspective is making a further shift in the same direction.
However, all our mature tools, both in policy and in research, have institutionalised earlier thinking. With just innovative new tools and perspectives policy making and research fields are not swiftly changing. Why should we as transport researchers help the shift to broad prosperity and how can we help society understand better what it means to really put mobility in its place in society?
This is the third talk organised by the Transport & Mobility Institute.
We start at 15.30 and end at 17.00 after which we have time to talk and drinks (until 18.00). Wijnand and Erik will both present 25 minutes followed by 25 minutes of discussions with the audience.
