38: How can we transition towards car-free cities? (guest: Robert Martin - Head of Mobility at JAJA Architects)

In this episode we continue the topic of #mobility

After talking with Sofia Lundeholm in the last English episode, now I want to dive deeper into the topic and get to know about more solutions for more sustainable transportation in our cities.

I invited Architect, Industrial PhD Fellow, Research-based design architect and future mobility expert and the Head of Mobility at JAJA Architects - Robert Martin.

We talked about Robert's background and his interest in mobility, his methodology of backcasting and prototyping or JAJA Architects' vision for a car-free Copenhagen and the projects:
- Dynamic Street Profile (backcasting)
- Fredriksberg (prototyping)
- Strueensegade transformation - Copenhagen (prototyping).

Moreover, we discuss the popular Mobility Pyramid by JAJA Architects and we try to answer the key question: 

What can we do TODAY to reduce car use? 

The book recommended by Robert is:

The Three Body Problem, a novel by Liu Cixin
