After the car

Nous demeurons coincés dans une pensée traditionnelle de la mobilité où
la demande dirige la gestion et cela signifie immanquablement plus
d’infrastructure. Bon nombre de villes européennes prouvent entre-temps
qu’il est possible de penser et d’agir différemment sur le plan de la
mobilité.  After The Car met en avant ces bons exemples et engage l’imagination pour réfléchir à un nouveau paradigme de mobilité.
