On 24 March, MORE held a public online event on the design and management of the public realm. This online event disseminated findings from the project and gathered feedback for the validation of results from key stakeholders working on the management and design of urban space in Europe and beyond.
The public event was divided in two sessions. The first one focused on the governance challenges and practical issues related to road space reallocation. The second one focused on future needs and trends in transport demand and demographics. The detailed agenda is available here.
Session 1: Road space reallocation: Governance challenges and practical issues (10:00 – 12:00 CET)
The first session will highlight the range of challenges to re-allocate road space, from governance-related aspects to practical issues, building on the findings of the MORE project.
The session recording will be made available soon.
