They will present their latest book Road To Nowhere - What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong About The Future Of Transportation, where they combine intriguing histories with criticism of modern technology to understand how those in power are shaping our transport landscape. In the book they argue that tech innovators have failed to keep many of the promises they’ve made so far, and their future vision could ultimately make society worse. Marco te Brömmelstroet – known as the 'cycling professor' – is a Professor at the University of Amsterdam and holds the Chair on Urban Mobility Futures. He is also the founding academic director of the Urban Cycling Institute that is part of the Centre for Urban Studies. He has written together with Thalia Verkade the book Het Recht van de Snelste, published 2020 (English: Movement - How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives 2022). Accessibility Because the Waag building is a protected monumental building, it unfortunately doesn't have an elevator. The event will take place in the Theatrum Anatomicum on the third floor of the Waag building.
