Synopsis

Tomasz Janasz demonstrates that digital technologies and new mobility concepts can lead to a reduction of the automobiles in urban areas by a factor of 10. The book features two vivid case studies of such digital mobility concepts: TwoGo by SAP and smexx. The author proposes six prototypes of business models for 'Shared Automobility Services'. Janasz offers also the 'Transformative Literacy' for designing sustainable urban mobility systems of the future. The author elaborates on the socio-political patterns of urban mobility by presenting the case of the City of Basel (Switzerland). He proposes the framework of 'Integrated Sustainable Urban Mobility' to explain how to overcome car dependence in cities.
