44/49

1.Mobilityis a key problem affecting daily lives.

Public transportation is not the complete solution

2. To solve problems we need:Sharinginformation

Sharing resourcesSharing help (peoples time)

3.Volunteer tradition is a good starting point

for developing projects (social infrastructure)


45/49

4.Technological needs- geolocation- mobile apps- websites- search engines

...

Generic apps (i.e. Facebook) doesnt work

(lack of facilitation and adaptation to the localneeds and idiosyncrasies)


46/49

5.Consequences for the public space(Stortorget)

- more affluence of public- more time, more intense uses- more autonomy of people- developing communities of interest (potential

creative users of public space)- increase the sense of community

6.How to implement these (and many

other) projects?

- task force / civic organization- meta-project to develop basic, common
