🚗 Cars sit idle 95% of the time—yet we cling to ownership like it’s a status symbol. What if we flipped the script and treated mobility as a commons?

In this Non-Boring Mobility student spotlight, Nova Bernards dismantles car dependence with a radical idea:

👉 Close one street for two weeks. Hand neighbours one shared electric car. Let them co-create schedules, carpools, and rules. The result? Trust, creativity, and a glimpse of a future where convenience doesn’t mean isolation.

What would shift on your block if you tried this?
•Fewer parked cars?
•Stronger community ties?
•A new kind of freedom?

Fuel the movement and grab your copy of Non-Boring Mobility Innovations 2025 today!

📚 15 bold student essays (including Nova’s) that challenge planners, designers, and leaders to build human-centered cities.

Curated by: Marco te Brömmelstroet, Luca Bertolini & Meredith Glaser ( Amsterdam Cycle Chic)

Edited by: Maria Paula Moreno Vivas and Raymond Berger

Let’s stop designing cities around things and start designing them around people.
