Abstract
Ford democratised mobility in the early 1900s by providing the freedom to move for a broad audience. We are on the verge of a mobility revolution that could once again change the way we spend our time, allocate urban areas and shape communities. Cities evolved around the car and people started to realize this might not be the cities they want to live in. A European wide trend could be recognized of cities that are aiming to decrease the number of cars in cities to reclaim streets for people. The proposal aims to enable Ford to ‘democratise streets’ by transitioning to off-street parking to improve liveability. The project explored opportunities in the servitization of Ford’s future business around autonomous drive, connectivity and electrification. The proposal delivers a product service around the parking ecosystem and a dialogue tool to collaboratively design interventions.
