Programme details
Today, we can see people from long distances more frequently through the power of transportation and communication. The evolution and diversification of mobility enable us to travel to and stay in more places than ever before. More and more people now recognize diversity, and it is now possible and required for each person to live according to their own style.
The meaning of mobility and place is changing and will even differ in 2050. Then, what do we want, and what can we do? Finding a single answer to this question is difficult, though we can consider some possible futures based on our experiences, observations, and expectations.
In this session, we will engage in a collaborative discussion about the scenes in 2050 and their challenges, interweaving the perspectives of practitioners of various initiatives and people who live on.
