1. What are the current problems with mobility in Netherlands?
==[[Future of the City Centre 2025]]==
The city center is a place of special significance to communities and nations.  Long the economic engine, the city center has change as technology has improved. Transportation, communication, and internet technologies has destroyed some city centers while enhancing others.  Climate change, natural resources, green technology, immigration, and the financail crisis of 2008 will shape the city centers of the future.  So what will city centre be like in 2025?  What will a post-crisis center look like? Will it remain a meeting spot, with a business function? Will people continue to work in offices? Will centers decay and the land return to agricultural function like in Detroit, or will centers have a new lease on life and reinvent themselves through the green movement? The Future of the City Centre 2025 explores this question and provides a peek into what the future may hold.


2. What is the government's plan to tackle these problems?


3. What are the trends among Dutch people in terms of traveling across the country?
Problem Owner:Sander de Iong, Secretary General Rotterdam IAB, EDBR
 
4. What are the trends among businesses in Netherlands in terms of moving the goods across the country?
 
5. What are the uncertainties in mobility in Netherlands?
 
Vikas
 
1. Even though road use for business is increasing, why is there no corresponding increase in productivity?
 
2. What are your views on the concept of Superbus?
 
3. Are there any identified areas where public money can be spent instead of road development to increase productivity?
 
4. In your opinion, how can road use for business work can be reduced? What are the major components of road use for business (meetings, travelling to / from office, etc.)?
 
5.
 
==Future of the City Centre 2025==
How will city centre be like in 2025?  What could change in the city centre, in a post-crisis environment.  Will it stay as a meeting spot, with a business function.  Will offices still be the place where people work? City centres in Huston or Detriot city has returned to markert gardering, with the houses abandoned.  Or will it have a new lease of life, renewed through urban agriculture, (witness the NYC lightrail project, etc)? What will the city's relevance be when physical meetings come to an end?<br>

==Future of Tablets in Education==
In this scenario set we explore the future of tablet technology in education.  Neither the desktop PC/laptop, nor the internet have thus far managed to revolutionize the education system, in spite of the enormous potential these technologies hold for education.  The excitement around tablet computers appears to be different though.  We explore whether the penetration of tablets in the educational system will differ from that achieved by previous computing technologies.  We also explore what form or manner this could possibly hold. In addition we broadened our research to explore whether technology, in general, will revolutionize the whole learning process. Our research focuses mainly on the EU region and refers both to primary and secondary education. <br>

Future of Mobility in Netherlands 2030

The Netherlands has 90 billion km driven in NL, of which 50% is business related, with a significant increase in business use, yet not a corresponding increase in productivity of the economy. This means that investing in new roads is NOT the best way to spend public money. How will mobility evolve in the next 20 years.

Transportation, communication, and internet technologies has destroyed some city centers while enhancing others. Climate change, natural resources, green technology, immigration, and the financail crisis of 2008 will shape the city centers of the future. So what will city centre be like in 2025?

Future of Tablets in Education

In this scenario set we explore the future of tablet technology in education. Neither the desktop PC/laptop, nor the internet have thus far managed to revolutionize the education system, in spite of the enormous potential these technologies hold for education. The excitement around tablet computers appears to be different though. We explore whether the penetration of tablets in the educational system will differ from that achieved by previous computing technologies. We also explore what form or manner this could possibly hold. In addition we broadened our research to explore whether technology, in general, will revolutionize the whole learning process. Our research focuses mainly on the EU region and refers both to primary and secondary education.
