Post-debate Film | Localising Transport | Urban Age Debates: Cities in the 2020s
Channel: UrbanAge
Date: 2021-10-05

This post-debate film follows the third Urban Age Debate on 'Localising Transport', which took place on 20 May 2021 and asked the question 'towards the 15-minute city or the one-hour metropolis?' 

The video incorporates valuable insights from the debate, with key outtakes from a series of virtual Zoom interviews conducted after the event. The interviews brought together mobility experts, urbanists and scholars to discuss the future of urban transportation and accessibility over the next decade. 

This film, supported by SAP SE and knowledge partner Teralytics is the third in a series, with the aim to expand the activities of the Urban Age Programme and incorporate new provocations to explore what could and should happen in cities over the next decade.
