MOBILITY TRANSFORMATION IN OUR CITIES

 

Our cities are evolving and so are our ways of getting around them!

Mobility is no longer just about getting from point A to B. More than ever, we need sustainable innovative ideas and brand new concepts for combining our different means of transportation.

Did you know that by 2050, around 80% of the population will live in cities? People residing in urban areas are likely to face more crowded environments and further increased pollution.

We strongly believe that mobility transformation can be a great solution to help cope with future overcrowded urban cities and have a deep and direct impact on the daily lives of citizens.

Via iD is looking for bold ideas on mobility in urban areas. To start off, we have listed below a few topics that could be tackled. Still, ideas for mobility projects are endless! So feel free to submit other solutions that do not directly fall into any one of these categories.
