The Storm in The Calm Neighborhoods

Purpose and goal:

The project´s purpose is to explore perceptions of what a future sustainable mobility system might look like at the local level. By examining people´s experiences in a city where walking, cycling, and public transport are the norms, the project aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from car travel in Helsingborg.

The project goals are to generate ideas on how the city´s mobility system can be designed and to promote behavioral changes towards more sustainable travel. The project aims to strengthen residents´ abilities to take action for increased mobility and accessibility. Expected results and effects:

The expected effects of the project include a transformed urban landscape with better air quality and increased biodiversity, where walking, cycling, and public transport are the norms. This will lead to reduced carbon dioxide emissions from car traffic, promote sustainable travel, and strengthen residents´ engagement in the city´s transition processes.

The project also aims to create a stronger community and increase residents´ awareness of their role in society, as well as inspire continued innovation and collaboration across sector boundaries. Approach and implementation:

Future Prototype: A digital news platform that visualizes future scenarios for Helsingborg´s mobility system. The platform will be interactive.

Dialogue and Interaction: Engage residents, public servants, civil society, and businesses in dialogues and interactions to support the city´s long-term innovation and climate work.

Inclusion and Equality: Focus on understanding and addressing differences in travel patterns between different groups, including gender perspectives, to promote equality and inclusion in future mobility systems.
