Play the TAP-SWOT in a BOX-game at European Transport Conference in Milan, 8 september 2022
We are delighted to be unveiling and trying out our new card game ‘TAP-SWOT in a BOX’ at the European Transport Conference in Milan on 8 September 2022 (Session 4 – 0930 – 1100). The card game has previously been played at the annual Transport Practitioners Meeting in London on 29 June (Room 3 – 1500-1600).

In the game developed by TAP project coordinator Glenn Lyons with colleagues, you act as a team of advisors tasked with considering the ‘product on offer’ and coming to a view on whether or not to recommend ‘buying’ it to the boss.

How will you do this? Well, we have organised ‘product reviews’ into four suits of cards: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. You must work together to home in on the five most important cards that you think would form your elevator pitch to the boss: advising her about the key considerations that form the basis of your buy / don’t buy recommendation to her.

Project insights presented at POLIS conference, Brussels, November 30 – December 1
At the POLIS conference, Vincent Marchau and Sander Lenferink will present insights from the project under the heading Lessons for improving SUMP practice: Triple Access Planning for Uncertainty.

In the upcoming AMS institute’s scientific conference: Reinventing the city, the Radboud University team within the Triple Access for Uncertain Futures are organizing a workshop with the title “Sustainable urban mobility planning for uncertain futures”. 

The workshop will be based on recent outcomes from the project, and it is taking place Online on the 18th of February, 2022, at 03:30 PM – 05:00 PM (CET). Together with workshop attendees, the Radboud team will be testing and modifying the project’s approach, taking digital access and uncertainties into account. In particular we will focus on Steps 03 till 07 of the SUMP guidelines, in which an urban mobility vision and strategy are developed.

All interested parties are welcome to attend the workshop. This will be a chance to exchange your expertise, and thoughts and help us brainstorm new ideas to take into account in our SUMP re-design.

The conference is organized by AMS Institute in collaboration with the City of Amsterdam. It is focused around six key urban challenges that guide the way towards innovative, inclusive and sustainable cities. You can register for the workshop here. Know that the (small) registration fee will not only allow you access to our workshop, but to other workshops during the three-days conference as well (see here for the program).
