Streets are limited, ambitions are high and every mobility choice comes with a price. In Who Rules the Mobility Game? participants step into an interactive city-building challenge where governance, power and public space collide. Armed with a budget, they must make bold decisions: invest in public transport, reclaim space for people, or scale up shared mobility systems. As strategies clash and priorities shift, the room turns into a live arena where the future shape of the city is negotiated in real time. Because when it comes to mobility governance, the real question is not just how to play, but who gets to rule the game.

Setlist

Wies Callens

Bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters, shared and owned, are multiplying fast across Belgian cities and so are the tensions. Pedestrians lose their space. New riders feel overwhelmed. Experienced cyclists navigate a more crowded, faster, less predictable street. The moshpit is growing. A mobility system that choreographs different paces and different users moves more people, more equitably  and more joyfully. We're not against speed. We're for choice. And we believe shared mobility, done right, can be the tango not the moshpit.
