WE NEED TO MAKE CHOICES THAT WILL MAKE US BETTER ANCESTORS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS
We recognize that mobility is essential to our economy, planet and quality of life. With looming conflicts, energy transition and climate change we need to make choices that will make us better ancestors of future generations. The current way we plan and organize the way we move from A to B is outdated and doesn't meet future requirements and needs. Now is the time to explore more desirable futures for the world we want to live in.
The Lab of Thought is the platform that connects leading academia and businesses from around the globe to rethink the way we want to build our future cities. With education, sandboxes and real life experimentation we strengthen the thinking and exchange of knowledge to drive change and make impact in the real world.

Ready to reTHINK
There is an urgent need to rethink the way we look at our streets and cities. They are currently designed for one purpose (cars and efficiency) and no longer a just place that enables social interaction, play and inclusion. Because it's hard for policymakers, designers and people to see alternative futures. The Lab of Thought is the platform that explores and direct experiments to open our collective imagination to work towards more desirable streets and cities.
