This groundbreaking book explores the promises and perils of new mobility, navigating the intricate landscape where technology intersects with urban society. It addresses the moral dilemmas and systemic flaws in planning and design, while proposing a approach of a mobility ecosystem that prioritizes equity, well-being, and sustainability.
Embark on a journey into the heart of a new industrial revolution-one that promises to redefine human mobility for generations to come. In this groundbreaking exploration, we confront the promises and perils of new mobility, navigating the intricate landscape where technology intersects with urban society. As cities evolve and technology shapes our daily lives, the ethical dimensions of this transformation remain largely uncharted territory. Amidst the rapid advancement of new mobility systems, this book sheds light on the moral dilemmas and philosophical underpinnings that often go unnoticed. From the ethical implications of technology to the systemic flaws in planning and design, we delve into the core of this paradigm shift. By understanding the foundational principles of mobility and the hidden codes that govern human movement, we pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive future. At the heart of this transformative vision lies a comprehensive framework for building a new mobility ecosystem-one that prioritizes human well-being and equity above all else. Through innovative planning processes and redesign concepts, we aim to bridge the gap between technology and society, ensuring that every individual has access to safe, efficient, and sustainable modes of transportation. From low-emission vehicles to multimodal transit hubs, this book presents a blueprint for reimagining urban spaces and redefining the way we move. By embracing shared values and collective responsibility, we strive to create a world where mobility is not just a privilege, but a fundamental human right. As we embark on this journey towards a more sustainable future, let us remember that the true measure of progress lies not in technological innovation alone, but in our ability to build communities that thrive together. Join us in shaping the future of mobility-one where humanity and equity reign supreme.
About the Author: In the labyrinth of urban tales, Dewan Masud Karim emerges, a sage of 25 years steeped in the symphony of urban mobility. From the sakura-scented streets of University of Tokyo to the mosaic paths of Toronto Metropolitan University, he crafts symphonies of possibility in the realm of multimodal mobility. He wears the robes of engineering across four Canadian provinces. His voice resonates in global amphitheaters unveiling the secret patterns of human mobility, creative public space reclaims, and downscaling mobility facilities to match basic instinct of human mobility code. His accolades include special awards like "Best Planning System" from MIT Media Lab and "Project of the Year" from ITE in 2015. Beyond applause, his pen inscribes a chapter in "Disrupting Mobility" and authors "Shifting Mobility" in its entirety.
