On the journey of transforming transport systems for human scale cities

This chapter concludes the book Transport in Human Scale Cities. The chapter includes four parts, with the first three parts including highlights and reflections on findings from each of the sections of the book. The first part focuses on human scale mobility in urban transport systems. The second part focuses on lessons for responsible innovation practices for human scale cities. The third part focuses on potentials for developing planning processes for human scale cities. The last part of this chapter includes reflections on the diverse aspects of systemic transformation. First, we argue for changes in actants responsible for envisioning futures, their actions, as well as emotions and virtues associated with those actions. Second, we argue for development of governance networks for further knowledge co-creation, organizational activities over time, and rethinking of our collective agenda-setting desires and visions. Third, we argue for transformation of our anchoring conceptualizations, centred around the concept of human scale city. © Miloš N. Mladenović, Tuuli Toivonen, Elias Willberg and Karst T. Geurs 2021.
