When cities change their mobility, things rarely remain quiet. Resistance almost always arises – emotional, visible, and political. But what does that resistance actually mean? And what happens at the next elections?
In this keynote Alexander Premm will guide you over the Hill of Hysteria. As a certified mountaineer, he focuses on the experiences of 13 mayors who have realized successful mobility transitions. They show us how change works in practice: with a clear direction, smart communication, and a willingness to deal with conflict. You will learn that resistance is not a sign of failure, but a normal – and often temporary – part of progress. How can you leverage headwinds instead of fearing them? And what can you city learn from this?
On this hike you will not only enjoy a beautiful view but learn how changing a single word can transform the way you see our streets. The central message: resistance is challenging, but it passes – and true progress endures.
Can be performed in English, German and Dutch.
