All Things Urban

In order to radically rethink urban mobility, The Lab of Thought aims to change the thinking of leaders in the field. Thats is why we've gathered the world's leading mobility thinkers and professors to share their ideas, narratives, insights, and knowledge with a select group of attendees at The Lab of Thought Live Experience. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn alongside the most diverse and intriguing people in the industry. During the event, you will have the opportunity to work together and collaborate with experts from leading universities and businesses to gain a greater awareness of what strategies will shape the future of mobility. You will walk away with a wealth of new knowledge and techniques to relate in your own work and organisation. We have a limited number of tickets available so if you are interested, please act fast. The program takes you through four steps to become a consciously skilled mobility change agent. Each part consists of a skill lecture and playshop in which skills are put into action. You learn how your are part of a narrative and learn how to deconstruct and reconstruct them into alternative narratives.
