This Forum constitutes the second Idea Factory hosted by the New Mobility Agenda. But before we go on to tell you how it works, first a quick word on . . .

The New Mobility Cafe, opened its virtual doors back in 1988 as the Access Café, offering already in the pre-Web world a free, public, flexible discussion space for our international peers, concerned citizens and groups who feel that our transport systems need to be, and can be made to be, more sustainable and more just -- and who wish to freely exchange ideas and information about it. Unlike most generally similar fora the focus is strongly on the Politics of Transportation. The orientation of the exchanges is strategic, informed and generally sober, if often quite contentious.

Lots Less Cars in Cities, by contrast is more activist, contentious, informal and laid-back. As the Forum announces: "What we are looking at here is not quite zero cars (in most places) but, let us say, many fewer cars in our cities, a more tranquil environment, and a lot more safe and happy people." Free flow exchanges & shared information on how to address and achieve "less car" solutions to the challenges of transport in cities. Lots on non-motorized transport and traffic reduction measures. And lots of disagreement. Click here to check it out.

Lots Less Cars (we know, it's not proper idiomatic English) is also the place where those interested in World Car Free Days meet to exchange ideas, information and critical suggestions. To view these discussions, we invite you to click here. And to click here to go the World Car Free Days Collaborative web site.
