Designing Technologies for Socially and Environmentally Sustainable Mobility

In this workshop, we aim to explore how the design of technology can encourage sustainable mobility practices and facilitate interactions that promote environmentally friendly, prosocial transportation choices. We intend to identify real-world scenarios where these interactions can be implemented, discuss the challenges and opportunities they present, and develop actionable strategies for their application. We will use speculative design methods such as design fiction and anticipatory ethnography to envision alternative future mobility practices. This holistic approach aims to create a comprehensive understanding of how technology can shape sustainable and inclusive mobility ecosystems, and critique the current practices. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from various disciplines, we hope to foster a collaborative network that will drive future advancements in sustainable mobility. Our goal is to address the urgent need to reduce ecological footprints and improve social experiences through innovative technological solutions.
