Geneva Living Lab Presentation
At a recent presentation, Myriam Bris (Geneva Living Lab) and Daniel Reck (TPG) delivered insights on the Geneva Living Lab. They shared the lab’s goals and achievements, emphasising its commitment to seamless multimodal transport and cutting-edge mobility innovations that support sustainable urban development.
Mobility Hub Visit
Participants were welcomed at the Lancy Bachet station by the tpg transports publics genevois team for an in-depth tour of a state-of-the-art mobility hub. This visit offered a real-world example of integrated transport solutions that enhance multimodal connectivity; a core focus of the Geneva Living Lab.
Geneva Living Lab: A Model for Sustainable Mobility
The Geneva Living Lab stands as a testament to SUM’s mission to co-create sustainable, user-centric mobility solutions. Central to its approach is the development of mobility hubs—public spaces where various sustainable modes of transport converge, including public transportation and shared mobility services. These hubs are designed to make sustainable modes more visible, accessible and user-friendly, encouraging a transition from private car usage to more eco-friendly alternatives. By developing a network of mobility hubs, the lab integrates public transportation with shared mobility services, encouraging a shift away from private car use. Currently, eight hubs are in operation, and plans are underway to expand beyond dense urban areas to strategic locations such as:
- Main train stations
- Airports
- Suburban neighborhoods
- Industrial zones
- Swiss border regions
Additonally, the lab is exploring the concept of temporary mobility hubs to support large-scale events, such as concerts and sports games. These hubs aim to offer flexible and sustainable transport solutions tailored to attendee needs.
Looking Ahead
The Geneva Living Lab exemplifies the power of innovation and collaboration in advancing sustainable urban mobility. Its ongoing efforts inspire us to continue working toward a greener and more connected future.
