Call for Papers for the Special Issue: Street experiments to transform urban mobility and public space
While the fast pace of these changes is promising for building cities less dependent on automobiles and with more diverse and inclusive public spaces, one key question remains: Are these renewed streets here to stay? Or in other words: Are street experiments potential triggers of systemic change in urban mobility away from motorised traffic dominance and towards more diverse and inclusive mobility and public space?
