Moderator Max Moor speaks on "Mobility of the Future" on September 20, 2018

Under the topic "Mobility of the Future", the moderator Max Moor will discuss with experts from traffic planning, urban development as well as experts from politics how people's mobility can be improved in the future and at the same time how the health impact can be kept as low as possible. At the latest since the diesel affair, these questions have been present and it is clear that this problem does not seem to be solvable with a rethink in vehicle technology alone. To what extent must public transport be expanded in the future and thus made more attractive in order to avoid or shift traffic? What solutions or approaches to solutions are already available?

Max Moor wants to discuss and address these questions with his guests. Max Moor is a moderator, actor and author, and this evening will be the sixth time he has spoken on the topic of mobility in the future. He presents "Kulturzeit" for 3sat and the culture magazine "ttt- titel, thesen temperamente" for ARD on Sunday evenings.
