Keynote

e-bike-city: An answer to our transport dead-end?

Prof. Dr. Kay W. Axhausen
Institute for Transport Planning and Systems
Dep. of Civil, Env. and Geomatic Eng.
ETH Zürich
Website

The challenge of net-zero shows that the currently preferred options are falling short of the 27 year away targets, as either politically unlikely or not effective enough. The e-bike-city is a project which explores if a city giving e-bikes, bikes and public transport enough room to flourish could be a positive vision mobilizing the necessary, rather fast changes needed. The talk will sketch the core dilemma and why a positive vision is needed for change. It will then sketch the e-bike-city and its challenge and show first results. It will introduce the on-going project at the ETH DBAUG department and show the chances for collaboration.

Social Event

We are going to visit The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) in Berlin-Adlershof - “an international state-of-the-art competence center for science & technology as well as service & transfer for innovations in and by crystalline materials.”

The IKZ is located at just 6 min walking distance from our conference venue.
