Shared mobility – Urban planning nexus for accelerating urban mobility system

Aksel Ersoy and Diego Hernando Florez Ayala

Urban mobility is an essential component of people's everyday activities, and is directly affected by the rapid increase in the urban population, unplanned urbanization, and the changing socioeconomic conditions. It is a major determinant of quality of life, public transit, employment, education and health care. Furthermore, having access to efficient urban mobility systems remains one of the fundamental issues for policy makers, especially in large cities and densely populated neighborhoods. To address some of these challenges, shared mobility – urban planning nexus offers opportunities for enabling spaces for collaborative urban planning and governance practices. Such nexus can serve as a vehicle to explore the changing dynamics of urban challenges during which experimentation is used to inform urban practice. Our session focuses on how the application of this approach in cities can contribute to the sustainable transitions of urban mobility systems while promoting active mobility and energy transition in public transport.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
