About the Event

As cities across the world rethink their approach to public space, the concept of woonerf ( streets designed for people, not cars) offers a powerful vision for the future of urban life. But how do we actually design liveable streets? And what lessons can we draw from real-world experiments? In this free webinar co-organised by All Things Urban and Urban Mobility Explained (UMX) by EIT Urban Mobility, urban planner and co-founder of of Humankind, Lior Steinberg, will take us on a journey through the principles of liveable street design. From shared spaces to slow mobility, we’ll explore how streets can become spaces of connection, safety, and joy. Lior works with cities around the world to create more liveable, people-centered places. With a background in urban planning and a talent for translating big ideas into practical changes, he brings fresh insight into how we can reshape our streets. 🎤 Moderator: Nayla Saniour, known for her dynamic and engaging moderation style Can’t join live?
