Co-Creating Inclusive Cities: Advancing Societal Readiness in Urban Mobility
How can cities ensure mobility innovation is trusted, inclusive, and ready for scale?
Four CIVITAS projects (MOBILITIES FOR EU, SUM, GEMINI, and metaCCAZE) share concrete methods and experiences: from designing urban mobility labs and governance models, to co-creation activities with citizens at local and regional levels across Europe.
This session brings together four major CIVITAS New Mobility Services (NMS) Cluster projects to explore how cities can strengthen societal readiness through co-creation, inclusive governance and collaborative experimentation. With a focus on practical experiences and transferable lessons, the session highlights how cities are engaging communities, aligning stakeholders and designing mobility systems that are socially responsive and ready for scale.
The session will conclude with a moderated discussion featuring all the speakers. The dialogue will explore common challenges and transferable lessons, and respond to the session’s guiding question, offering forward-looking reflections on how cities can foster societal readiness and scale innovation more effectively.
