Journal Clubs

The “journal club” series of seminars was held in 2022 with the aim of putting the project team, which includes the areas of history of technology and mobility, urban geography and economics, public policies and citizen science, in dialogue with itself . A second objective is to open up the project to other people, in particular the partners with whom we want to dialogue (public institutions that have legislative and regulatory power over mobility in Lisbon; activist groups, which propose solutions for the city that include active mobility and users ). The deepening of the dialogue with the partners will take place in a second phase, throughout 2023, during which we will organize a round table and four workshops. In these workshops, we will put into practice the history laboratories with the partners, using documental and visual sources, also using knowledge co-construction tools.
