Workshops

Over the day, you will be introduced to innovative tools developed by leading European academic institutions and cities. W e are excited to share some more detailed information about these tools:

StreetECHO Toolkit

This workshop will focus on providing practitioners with a hands-on experience with the StreetECHO toolkit. StreetECHO was designed to support local communities and authorities with enhancing the inclusivity and transparency of decision-making processes related to street experiments and/or transformations, and to enable the exploration of different perspectives, values and knowledge around street use. In the session, each participant will be assigned a persona and will have the chance to fill in the StreetECHO survey. The session will continue with a dynamic Liberating Structure-based workshop, where participants will analyse and interpret the data collected and will be encouraged to generate innovative ideas and solutions informed by the survey findings.

GOAT (Geo Open Accessibility Tool )

In the interactive workshop session with GOAT, you will get insights into an innovative WebGIS with planning intelligence in the field of urban and transport planning. Firstly, we will give participants a general introduction to the tool, its development process and its role within the EX-TRA project. Then, we will have an interactive part where we show the implementation of GOAT in the 5 case study cities (London, Ghent, Amsterdam, Bologna, Munich) and use the tool to conduct accessibility analysis for different planning cases of local interest.

D4AMS (Dashboard for Alternative Mobility Scenarios)

This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the D4AMS tool (Dashboard for Alternative Mobility Scenarios). Attendees will delve into the potential of exploring alternative mobility scenarios through Agent Based Modeling. What are the impacts of street closures and shared mobility options on traffic flows and modal split shifts? What happens if we imagine extreme scenario’s and start upscaling street experiments across the city? Through two interactive sessions, participants will be introduced to our research results, while at the same time discovering new mobility scenarios. This workshop will stimulate participants to imagine new mobility futures and give them a useful tool to do so.

Strategies for Change

City street experiments face many barriers – both big and small – on their way to causing system change. The first half of this interactive workshop will be dedicated to discussing the barriers that the EXTRA project has uncovered so far. The participants will choose the barriers they find most interesting to work on and during the second half, they will work in smaller teams to identify potential strategies for dealing with these barriers.

IAPI (Assessing Inclusive Accessibility by Proximity)

The workshop aims at introducing IAPI and its applications, gathering the audience's feedback and collecting valuable information to further the development of the tool. The workshop starts with a quick overview of IAPI, its policy-related aims and the methodology for its implementation. The second part proposes a list of policy questions referring to the cases where IAPI has been implemented to showcase the tool's possible uses within concrete policy scenarios. The third and final part consists of an interactive discussion between participants to gather the audience's feedback, views, and opinions on IAPI.
