Perspectives on mobility

Mobility is a fundamental human need. As such, it has been and continues to be an important driver of innovation. Until now, the motto has been faster, higher, further. Sustainability has played a secondary role. There is no alternative to transforming mobility towards climate neutrality. The pressure to implement and act is growing. Conventional mobility is being replaced. New mobility patterns are emerging.

In cooperation with the RWTH research institute ACCESS!

the seminar will discuss the opportunities, risks and limits of combining mobility consumption and mobility technology against the backdrop of the need for sustainable use of resources. The focus will be on the transformation region of the Rhenish Mining District. Three aspects are central: a regional mobility system, municipal mobility concepts, and service-oriented technology paths.

The framework is provided by two thought-provoking impulses on historical mobility futures and an energy inventory. Together with the lecturers, the students actively expand their knowledge in a dialogical and critical way. This enables them to identify, question, evaluate, and ultimately shape developments and discourses on a factual basis.
