Abstract

The theme of micromobility was introduced for the first time in Workshop 6 of Thredbo 17 and was also discussed in Thredbo 18, in Cape Town. The growth of micromobility is evidenced in both Global North and Global South cities. Workshop 6 of the Thredbo 18 conference identified the need to better understand micromobility in different geographic contexts, identify the challenges and opportunities experienced by cities around the world and seek to understand the potential of multimodal integration. The workshop sought to identify the factors that shape successful micromobility adoption, with examples from Europe (Norway, Malta, Ireland), Asia (Taiwan), Africa (South Africa, Mozambique) and Australia. This diversity provided for a broad discussion on micromobility in a variety of contexts but also highlighted the rather significant differences experienced in different parts of the world. This report aims to provide an overview of the nine presentations delivered at the Cape Town conference and the discussions which ensued between the workshop participants. Policy and research recommendations conclude this report, as well as a view towards the Thredbo 19 conference.

讲习班6报告：城市交通中的微流动性运动

微机动性的主题在第17届大会第6次研讨会上首次提出，并在开普敦举行的第18届大会上进行了讨论。微流动性的增长在全球北方和全球南方城市都得到了证明。第18届大会第6次研讨会确定需要更好地了解不同地理背景下的微流动性，确定世界各地城市所面临的挑战和机遇，并寻求了解多式联运一体化的潜力。讲习班以来自欧洲（挪威、马耳他、爱尔兰）、亚洲（台湾）、非洲（南非、莫桑比克）和澳大利亚的例子，力求确定影响成功采用微流动性的因素。这种多样性为在各种情况下广泛讨论微流动性提供了条件，但也突出了世界不同地区所经历的相当显著的差异。本报告旨在概述在开普敦会议上发表的九份报告以及讲习班参与者之间随后进行的讨论。本报告最后提出了政策和研究建议，以及对第19届丝波会议的看法。
