These are some of the questions that came up during the SmartHubs DesignGame workshop led by David Duran, Maria Teresesa Baquero Larriva, Aaron Nichols & Benjamin Büttner. In the SmartHub project, we intend to co-design mobility hubs by playing a board game. The colleagues from TU Wien developed the instruments so we create the rules of our game (https://www.smartmobilityhubs.eu/copy-of-brussels). The openLAB Urban Mobility joined the workshop together with some of our motivated students, where the participants were asked to design a game which facilitates the creation of new hubs!
The SmartHubs project examines mobility hubs, dedicated on-street locations where citizens can choose from different shared and sustainable mobility options. The main objective is to assess if a co-designed, user-centric development can enable mobility hubs to act as a game changer towards inclusive sustainable urban mobility and #accessibility.
