Abstract:
Cities play a major role in designing future mobility plans. Our question is how to contribute to sustainable mobility design while effectively accounting for social equity, health, and wellbeing considerations. After defining a list of mobility-related social issues, two stakeholder-based workshops with mobility users from two major cities, namely Paris and Cairo, were conducted. Participants explored mobility problems through eighteen purposive persona models in total. In Cairo, participants mainly reported safety and security issues while in Paris, mobility stress was dominant.
