In the District of Üsküdar, on the waterfront of Istanbul, we have set up a Citizen Mobility Community. Perhaps, you are even part of it.
Üsküdar is one of our five pilot areas and several things are happening there.
It may seem confusing at first, but we have a Citizen Mobility Lab to experiment with ideas and solutions and a Citizen Mobility Kit to gather useful resources and collect key stakeholder inputs. One complements the other and you can read more about them here.
The Citizen Mobility Kit is essentially a toolkit that combines useful resources: tools, case studies, and best practices to start tackling transportation and mobility challenges in your own neighbourhood. It is also a space for community to discuss and vote on key issues – check out the polling section to see if there is any ongoing debate!
The Citizen Mobility Lab is a space that the Cities-4-People team opens up to the Citizen Mobility Community and any other person who may be interested to peek in and see what is going on to discuss ideas, co-create solutions to challenges, and prototype concepts. In Üsküdar, the Citizen Mobility Lab “Keşfet Üsküdar / Discover Üsküdar” is a comfortable room in the Municipality building with plenty of interesting materials to discover.
Why is Üsküdar a pilot area in Cities-4-People? This concise overview can give you some hints concerning the main challenges that characterise the area and the reasons why Cities-4-People could help.
