Articulating expectations and adjusting visions

Articulating expectation
Task A-1: Identify knowledge( experts, producers, users, etc.) and facilitate exchange: make assumptions and gap in knowledge explicit and explore possibilities and limitations of the experiment from different sides.
Task A-2: Engage in dialogue about what the experiment can do in the bigger setting of the mobility system, and what not. Task A-3: Identify to what extent the experiment aligns to current municipal visions for sustainability. Task A-4: Identify to what extent the experiment is expected to live up to the most important societal trends in Copenhagen and Nordhavnen.
Task A-5: Decide on the main question‘ Go!’ or‘ No Go.’, based on an initial assessment of the potential of the experiment to contribute to bringing about a most suitable sustainable urban mobility system for Copenhagen, resulting from the above steps and activities.
Adjusting the vision
Task A-6: Study successful cases of innovative mobility solutions in other cities and the differences in the adopted concepts. Task A-7: Work towards a shared understanding between the municipality and other actors, reflected in an initial description of what the concrete experiment might look like. Task A-8: Explicate the broad and narrow goals of the experiment, and indicate the ways in which they can be built further upon. Task A-9: Connect the experimental setup to surrounding mobility features and policies.
