Metropolitan Mobility Conference 2019

The Metropol region of Amsterdam keeps on growing and expanding. How can we facilitate the increasing traffic with a minimal impact on the public-space, air-quality and public-health? How can we keep travelling affordable for travellers, companies and the government? And how do we anticipate the challenges and possibilities of the future? These are the central questions we strive to answer during the Metropolitan Mobility Conference.

In three days we will discuss mobility in the Amsterdam Metropolitan region and the rest of the world. With (international) keynote speakers.

These events are part of the Metropolitan Mobility Conference. More information per event will follow at the end of the overview. As well as information on the Bicycle Architecture Biennale.

Green Logistics

Impact and challenges of the logistics sector in Metropol region Amsterdam.
Thursday 20 June 2019 – from 09.30 hours in RAI AMSTERDAM
Tickets are available via this link.

The Metropolitan region of Amsterdam has a rich and proud history of industry and logistics. The harbour of Amsterdam, the Zaan industry, the airport of Schiphol and Greenport Aalsmeer are all connecting the Metropolitan region of Amsterdam with the rest of the world. This gives a lot of opportunities but the success also has some downsides: nuisance for residents and the environment, congestion in the air, on the road, on rail, and water. It’s time for smarter and cleaner transport to strengthen the metropolitan region of Amsterdam. That’s why we will take a closer look, from mainport-logistics to urban- and city-logistics.
