Expert Voices – Conversations on Sustainable Urban Mobility
At MobiliseYourCity, we love talking about sustainable mobility – especially with the people driving real change. Expert Voices is our 30-minute interview format where we sit down one-on-one with experts shaping urban mobility around the world. These are not lectures or speeches, but open, thoughtful conversations that explore what professionals are thinking and how they tackle complex, day-to-day challenges in the field.
On this page, you can access the recordings of three recent editions of Expert Voices, each focusing on a key dimension of the sustainable mobility transition: inclusive infrastructure, decarbonising freight, and financing for change.
Designing for All: Cycling Infrastructure for All Ages and Abilities
Guest: Melissa Gómez (ADFC)
How can cities make cycling truly accessible for people of all ages and abilities — from toddlers to seniors, and including people with disabilities? Melissa Gómez shares how inclusive cycling infrastructure is not just about bike lanes, but about reshaping the way we plan cities, asking who we’re planning for, and whose mobility needs are too often overlooked.
Freight on the Move: How to Decarbonise Urban Logistics Without Compromising Efficiency
Guest: Henrik Gudmundsson (CONCITO)
Decarbonising freight is one of the toughest challenges for cities: how to reduce emissions without disrupting essential services? Henrik Gudmundsson highlights practical solutions, from electrification to logistics optimisation, and shares lessons from successful examples like Utrecht’s construction logistics hub.
Investing in Sustainable Urban Mobility: The Role of the Private Sector
Guest: Anta Dieng (Meridiam)
What role can private investment play in building the sustainable transport systems of the future? Anta Dieng discusses how impact, finance, and public–private partnerships can align to deliver inclusive, low-carbon mobility — with examples such as Dakar’s fully electric Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.
