Identify key lessons and strategies for more future-ready and sustainable mobility systems for Singapore and Barcelona.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
What are the existing and future challenges that Barcelona and Singapore should prepare for in their mobility systems?
What limitations are there to achieving greater, long-term sustainability?
What key lessons for both cities can be learned from the case studies?
What are the potential strategies and recommendations for mobility systems in Barcelona and Singapore to make them more future-ready and sustainable?
POTENTIAL OUTPUTS
