After the car

We are still stuck in a traditional mindset when it comes to mobility,
whereby demand determines policy, which then inevitably leads to more
infrastructure. However, many foreign cities have since shown that
thinking and acting differently in the area of mobility is possible.  After The Car aims to highlight these good examples and use the imagination to reflect upon a new paradigm of mobility.
