Cities, interrupted: harnessing the unexpected success of micromobility to help cities return from COVID-19 stronger than ever

Entering the 21st century, cities reemerged as economic engines. But that new vibrancy came with increased congestion, housing and transportation costs, and gentrification. Without overwhelming motivation to change, these entrenched problems proved difficult for public and private sectors to address. Two unexpected occurrences, COVID-19 and shared micromobility, created a once-in-a-century opportunity to reimagine cities. During this session, academics, policymakers, and micromobility experts will share how cities can capitalize on this opportunity by presenting research on public benefits resulting from micromobility, data on micromobility users and use cases, and examples of how regulations determine program success.
