Field: Urban Planning and Transport
Date: 27 November 2018
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Organizer: ERRIN with Stuttgart Region Economic Development Cooperation

The design of user and environmentally friendly mobility concepts presents many opportunities for the creative industries. But the future ways in which we will move within cities and regions raise many questions: Which transportation methods and paths are needed in European regions and how will they have to be designed? How will they not only follow technical criteria but build on the urban culture and life style as well as topographic conditions of regions? Which role do designers play in those processes?

After several NEMO Conferences in Stuttgart and two editions in California, the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation (WRS) together with the Stuttgart Region European Office in Brussels aims at bringing together the creative community with the mobility industry and policy makers who are active in the development of future urban infrastructure in Europe. The conference showcases solutions and best practice examples with the intention to combine different approaches, some of them visionary, some of them already implemented.
