Smarter Than Car engages in urban research, design and strategy development on Bicycle Urbanism and Future Urban Mobility. We publish our findings in academic as well as professional media such as journals, magazines, conferences or symposia. The findings of Smarter than Car's research projects are published under a creative commons license (Attribute + Non-commercial, BY-NC.)
To widen the debate on bicycle urbanism and future urban mobility we are lecturing at universities or hosting workshops in diverse venues. We do as well welcome interns who want to explore their questions about future urban mobility.
