Webinar #6 - Sustainable Mobility and Future of Transportation in Egypt
The Era of 'Altermobility'?
التنقل المستدام والمستقبل فى مصر - عصر البدائل
Picture cities, either small or large, with half the pollution, half the parking spaces, half the traffic, and half the hassle of commuting to and from work. Imagine cities with double the bike lanes; double the pedestrian; more fresh air, more electric-mobility, and micro-mobility mean.
It might be a dream world for most. And indeed, our environment needs a truce from carbon emissions!
Cities are harmed severely by the existing traffic systems. There is no transparent solution to this puzzle. There is no one-sized idea that can bring a much-needed easement between users, companies, and cities. But, moving away from a culture dominated by cars is undoubtedly one.
Don't miss the 6th webinar, "Sustainable Mobility and Future of Transportation in Egypt."
