Drive Sweden Thematic Area Meeting: Public Engagement & Society Planning

In this thematic meeting the participants continued to think together around the ideas developed in February and get to know people with similar interests. The goal was to end up with concrete project ideas to be developed into applications.

Inspiration was provided from speakers on two topics that have been identified as of specific interest by participants in our thematic workshops:

Society Planning - How do we plan for urban as well as rural mobility - and between

Public Engagement - How do we involve LOTS of people? How do we scale involvement?
