The futurist and urban geographer Dr. Stefan Carsten is curator of the stage program. His work examines the future, cities and mobility.The BUS2BUS Advisory Board assists in shaping the content.
Mobility is much more than mere mobility in space. It is in fact the driving force of social and economic existence, in physical and virtual space. It determines the means of transport we use and what our journey looks like. It defines the concepts and the drives of the future and is at the heart of the most important innovations of our time. Innovations that we urgently need in order to successfully shape the social and economic consequences of Corona and climate change in a sustainable way. For this, we need a new understanding of mobility and new mobility concepts.
This is BUS2BUS: Thinking mobility anew, acting anew. Due to its adaptability, availability and flexibility, the bus is predestined to provide short-term answers to the challenges of innovative and sustainable mobility - this is what the Future Forum (BUS2BUS stage program) is all about.
