The future of mobility: Can we really get there?

The future of mobility: Can we really get there?

AET’s Transport & Mobility Forum (TMF) is proud to present the inaugural address by a Fellow of the Association for European Transport. For this first webinar of 2026, Michael Bach (UK), AET Council member and AET Fellow since 2023, will reflect on the essence of his outstanding and inspiring career as a planner and consultant.

In his talk, he will explore a fundamental question for the future of mobility: Can we meaningfully reduce the need to travel through an integrated approach to land-use and transport policies in order to help achieve our sustainability goals?

Daniëlle Snellen (PBL, NL), AET Board Member, will not only respond to Michael’s insights but will also guide the discussion as moderator. Join us for this thought-provoking session and share your views: Can we really get there?

The webinar will be kindly hosted by Christopher Cary (Atkins, UK) and chaired by András Munkácsy (KTI, HU), from the TMF Working Group.

The AET Transport and Mobility Forum webinars are FREE to attend and are hosted on the Zoom platform.
