Public Realm activity in 4I4U: "Actions to raise awareness on urban mobility issues"
Participants: 90 participants of the Hackathon “Solving city problems regarding urban mobility”, around 3000 UPC students and around 100 anonymous citizens
Responsibles: Mónica Aguilar, Alexandra Hoesli
Assistants: Alberto Bazán, Adrian Catalin, Jose Manuel Ordoñez
Data: 1st November 2022 to 28th February 2022
Location: Plaça Telecos, Campus Nord, UPC
The project 4I4U aims to engage young citizens on the mobility of the future, empowering them to become actors for change who participate in the transformation of their cities. We want to encourage them to contribute to improving urban mobility to make cities more livable. We designed two actions carried out in various buildings and prominent spaces on the Campus Nord (UPC) where UPC students, employees, visitors and professors usually spend their time or pass by.
The first two activities consist on small-scale and temporary changes of the physical environment of the Plaça Telecos in the Campus Nord at the UPC. The low-cost intervention, though, pretend to be a first step to raise long-term awareness regarding urban mobility issues and encourage use of nearby sustainable transportation options around the Campus.
The two last activities consist on two online forms that helped us to achieve va twofold objective: on the one hand we send informative pills about main issues related to urban mobility; and on the other hand we collect the opinion of the participants about their mobility habits and their personal experience about the problems observed in urban mobility.
Action 1: 400 adhesives arranged along the Campus Nord (UPC)
We placed 200 stickers on the walls of about 30 toilets in buildings A1 to A6 that house the Campus Nord classrooms.
These adhesives include informative pills about urban mobility problems focusing on pollution, invite to part
Watch the group shout of the slogan 4I4U, as starting point of the Hackathon “Solving city problems regarding urban mobility”.
Action 2: Roll-Up "Project 4I4U-EIT Urban Mobility"
Action 3: Form "UPC Sustainable Mobility - 4I4U Project"
Action 4: Form "Helping to improve Urban Mobility in Barcelona"
Additionally, we have proposed to the Bicing company the installation of a bicing stop inside the Campus. In any case, there are already four very close bicing stops (4 to 6 min walk) around the Campus, although a bicing stop on the Campus would further encourage UPC students to use them. Also, we have suggested UPC Sostenible to ask also the new bicing stop from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).
