🧠 ThinkLab Thursday #21 - Denmark 🧠 Do you know the feeling of using public transport and feeling refreshed when you arrive at your location? (Provided that there haven't been any delays!) 𝐵𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒-𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘 The Article's Key Takeaways and Opportunities: 1️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:  Copenhagen's extensive network of bicycle highways, often wider and more direct than car lanes, showcases a city prioritising active transportation. The abundance of cyclists and pedestrians, along with the city's commitment to public transportation, demonstrates a successful model for sustainable urban living. 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞" 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭:  The article contrasts Copenhagen's sustainable approach with the historical pursuit of faster and farther travel, which has led to increased reliance on fossil fuels and a significant contribution to climate change. The output per person in a high-speed train is only 3.5% of what is produced by a car with a single passenger, respectively at 6g and 171g (Figure 1). 3️⃣ 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:  Copenhagen's focus on active and public transportation has resulted in tangible health benefits, including cleaner air and reduced traffic-related injuries. The cycling fatality rate in Scandinavian countries is 50% less than the average in European nations (Figure 2). Furthermore, improved public transport can increase presentation to health and care, with USA reporting that 5.8 million people in the United States miss or delay nonemergency medical treatment in 2017.

- The future is always important, but never urgent! Daria (Dasha) Krivonos of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies pinpointed our human bias towards today. But by asking us to imagine a day in the life of a child we know, when they are our age, she also showed us a way to give more weight to the problems of tomorrow.   This stands out as the central message of the Nordic Edge Expo for me. After all It's tomorrow, and we can’t afford to wait to solve the challenges of the future.   How do we #BeTheChange? Johan Galster of We Do Democracy brought in the importance of acceptance from inhabitants, with useful tips of how involvement processes creates better solutions and happier public. Sveinung Jørgensen and Lars Jacob Tynes Pedersen of the Centre for Sustainable Business // CSB NHH underlined the need for testing solutions in real world situations, with quick evaluation to make sustainable processes move faster towards impact. (Check out their podcast - Bærekraftseventyr med Jørgensen og Pedersen - in Norwegian.) After this and more, we were ready for the workshop on how to decarbonize urban mobility. A truly exiting day where Ellen Figved Thoresen (Stavanger) and Øvind S. Tanum (Trondheim) challenged us to find solutions on how to reach the Net Zero target within 2030 under the supervision of EIT Urban Mobility, Climate-KIC and Nordic Edge. Through intense group sessions with engaged and competent participants from all over Europe, process and solutions to move cities in a direction of reduced climate emissions and better cities were discussed. Hopefully valuable to the cities.   Which brings us back to the starting point of the Expo – AppliedAutonomy’s interesting seminar on increased potential in public transport by replacing the bus driver with autonomous busses. Liisa Andersson of Ruter As took us for a ride into a future where shared robotaxis in cooperation with high capacity public transport has replaced the private car. As this is happening now, Ronny Fiuren of Forus industrial park, put it clearly: - It’s time to move from pilots to operations. Together with Mads Simonsen Thuv - Ducky, Espen Jørgensen - Kogenta, Tom Henriksen - Telia and more we have got the snowball rolling. We for sure aim to beat yesterday!
