AET Transport & Mobility Forum - FREE Webinar

AET Transport and Mobility Forum invite you to the webinar:

Using scenarios in Norwegian cities to address uncertainty and help achieve sustainable mobility

FREE Webinar: Thursday, 1 February 2024 11.00-12.00 CET / 10.00-11.00 UTC

We proudly announce Eivind Jamholt Baera from Norconsult as the winner of the ETC Goudappel award for best paper in the Planning for Sustainable Land Use and Transport stream. 

Together with his colleague Linda Alfheim and co-authors Glenn Lyons and Charlene Rohr from Mott MacDonald, they wrote the winning paper: "Using scenarios to address uncertainty and help achieve sustainable mobility: the case of small and medium-sized Norwegian cities".

The authors will present their work in next week’s Transport and Mobility Forum webinar.

Cities face uncertain future settings – so how to invest for the best in terms of mobility? The authors have a strong commitment to using foresight and scenarios as part of strategic planning - as a way to manage uncertainty associated with the future. The paper describes the process of developing a set of four possible divergent futures that can be used to help develop robust policies and plans for improving mobility in Norway's small and medium-sized cities. Developing scenarios for 2050 has helped them think and collaboratively engage with uncertainty and consider how they can support planning. The study intends to accomplish a major step forward within the transportation planning field in Norway – helping to close the gap between theory and practice related to scenario planning and transport planning.The FREE webinar is organised by the AET Transport and Mobility Forum and will be hosted on the Zoom platform. This webinar is co-hosted by Goudappel and will be moderated by Marc Stemerding from Goudappel.
