We have a problem

Modern mobility is great - in the short term.
Longer term, it's killing us and our planet. By design. 

With more roads, more parking, parcels, and congestion, from second cars to electric cars, our daily lives are designed for convenience, passivity, and gratification. Why does it matter? An epidemic of pollution, noise, congestion, exclusion, ill health, obesity, and depression? Is technology the answer? Or should we focus on future generations, not future technologies?

Matt will explore how cities and mobility can improve everyday public health, reduce bias, be accessible and safe for everybody, built around the needs and rhythms of humans and the planet.
