2. Where Next? Are e-vehicles a wrong turn?
Description
In this second instalment of Where Next? Conversations with Map Project Office, host India Block is joined by Dr. Destiny Thomas, Dan Hill, Emilie Robinson and Andrea Rosati for a panel discussing the future of mobility. Electric vehicles hold huge potential as society aims to cut its reliance on fossil fuels, but this is not the only issue facing mobility. Our cities are clogged with private vehicles, with public space taken away from pedestrians and allocated towards road infrastructure. Can the drive to redesign vehicles create opportunities to enact more radical change? How can we design more pedestrian-focused cities – and forms of mobility – that provide greater human value than simply getting from A to B?
