The AET Transport and Mobility Forum promotes active engagement of AET members and member-groups with each other and with other like-minded transport organisations through supporting and hosting a range of activities including online webinars, seminars and discussions on a wide range of transport and transport related topics of interest. We welcome new members and new ideas about transport and how we talk about transport.
This webinar will explore how the City of Oslo transformed its transport system from car-oriented planning to a leading example of green urban mobility in Europe—an evolution often described as a journey from “zero to hero.” The session will present key policies, strategies, and measures implemented to develop cycling infrastructure, improve road safety, and promote active and climate-friendly transport solutions. It will also examine the challenges faced, the approaches used to overcome them, and the outcomes achieved. Participants will gain insights into how bold, people-focused planning and long-term commitment can accelerate the transition toward more sustainable, accessible, and resilient urban mobility systems.
This webinar will be hosted by James Odeck, member of the AET Transport and Mobility Forum. The webinar will include a presentation by Rune Gjøs and a moderated discussion lead by Barry Zondag.
