38: How can we transition towards car-free cities? (guest: Robert Martin - Head of Mobility at JAJA Architects)

In this episode we continue the topic of #mobility After talking with Sofia Lundeholm in the last English episode, now I want to dive deeper into the topic and get to know about more solutions for more sustainable transportation in our cities. I invited Architect, Industrial PhD Fellow, Research-based design architect and future mobility expert and the Head of Mobility at JAJA Architects - Robert Martin. We talked about Robert's background and his interest in mobility, his methodology of backcasting and prototyping or JAJA Architects' vision for a car-free Copenhagen and the projects: - Dynamic Street Profile (backcasting) - Fredriksberg (prototyping) - Strueensegade transformation - Copenhagen (prototyping). Moreover, we discuss the popular Mobility Pyramid by JAJA Architects and we try to answer the key question:  What can we do TODAY to reduce car use?  The book recommended by Robert is: The Three Body Problem, a novel by Liu Cixin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel) You can follow Robert's work at: His linked in profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-j-martin/ JAJA Architects webiste https://www.ja-ja.dk I would also suggest checking these projects of JAJA: https://www.ja-ja.dk/project/konditaget-luders/  https://www.ja-ja.dk/project/street-transformation/ https://www.ja-ja.dk/project/dynamic-street-profile/ https://www.ja-ja.dk/project/from-train-station-to-mobility-hub/ https://www.ja-ja.dk/jaja-mobility-pyramid/ You can follow URBCAST: https://linktr.ee/urbcast
