What is needed for liveable cities of the future? What will Dresden look like in 30 years? Is the city of tomorrow greener and more sustainable? And how will we get around in the city in the future? The TU Dresden social media team explored these questions on the YouTube channel "Discover TU Dresden". And from very different perspectives.

In addition to the fields of economics, architecture and urban development, the topics of transport, traffic and mobility in the city of the future were also scrutinised and two members of the "Friedrich List" Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences of TU Desden were interviewed (minute 04:31 to 09:55):

Prof. Arnd Stephan, head of the Chair of Electric Railways, explains in the video why he wants the city of the future to have a high level of mobility but little traffic - and what that might look like. He sees the greatest challenge for future mobility less in the development of new technology than in individual usage behaviour and people's emotional attachment to their own cars.

Jule Klepin is a graduate student in Traffic Engineering at the faculty. She can well imagine a life without her own car. For that, however, bike and car sharing services would have to be expanded. As a future junior engineer, the long planning and construction times of transport and traffic projects frustrate her.

Background:
