2nd round SpeakerSeries: Katja Diehl x Katrin Habenschaden

„Do you want to drive or do you have to drive?" - Katja Diehl opened the evening of the second SpeakerSeries "Future of Mobility" with this exciting question. It turns out that the answer to this question is not so simple. The fact is: many people do not have the option of being mobile without a car and this is exactly what Katja Diehl wants to encourage. 

"What's it like here in Munich, we've heard what would be nice, now let's hear what's nice here" - With this sentence, the second mayor Katrin Habenschaden introduced her vision for mobility in Munich. The aspect of where Munich currently stands in terms of mobility was not neglected. There is still a lot to do for the future, but the first step has been taken. Although the city's hands are tied when it comes to many decisions, such as parking fees, the audience also commented during the discussion that the current pace of the mobility transition is too slow.

The second round of the SpeakerSeries also focused on the The future of mobility took center stage. After a short reading from their book Autokorrektur, Katja Diehl and Katrin Habenschaden addressed the question of how we can all achieve fair and equitable mobility that focuses on people rather than vehicles. Together with 200 guests, they then discussed what the city of tomorrow will look like
