The MoST Team Presents at ProjMAN 2024
In November 2024, the MoST (Mobilitetslab Stor-Trondheim) team participated in the ProjMAN International Conference on Project Management, held in Madeira, Portugal. Representing the team, Aashish Adhikari, a PhD candidate at NTNU's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, presented his research titled "Actors in Participatory Mobility Planning in Trondheim."
The presentation highlighted the critical role of participatory approaches in shaping sustainable urban mobility planning. Drawing insights from the MoST Living Lab in Trondheim, the research emphasized how key actors—state, market, community, and third-sector stakeholders—contribute to collaborative mobility planning processes. Using Trondheim’s MoST Living Lab as a participatory action research setting, the research applied the Multi-Actor Perspective (MaP) framework to understand how these actors contribute to mobility planning by integrating diverse goals, knowledge, and resources.
Participating in ProjMAN 2024 was a rewarding experience. The conference allowed the MoST team to exchange knowledge with researchers and professionals tackling similar challenges worldwide.
Aashish expressed his gratitude to his supervisors, Agnar Johansen, co-authors Savis Gohari and Mahgol Afshari, and the MoST project for their support. He also thanked the ProjMAN organizing team for hosting such an insightful and well-organized event.
The MoST team looks forward to continuing its mission of advancing participatory and sustainable urban mobility solutions. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!
Working group Mobility
The transport sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gases. All forms of transport must become more sustainable, with green alternatives widely available. Through its projects, this working group will contribute to changing the way people and goods move. Key aspects include combining different forms of transport in a single journey, increasing the share of public transport and cycling, and developing the right incentives to drive the transition. Digitization will be an indispensable driving force for the modernization of the transport system, and opens up for seamless, smart and efficient solutions.
Mobilitetslab Stor-Trondheim
