This lecture presents a case study of the development of a mobility regulation law in response to a popular initiative, highlighting the challenges faced in the legislative process, negotiations, and the implementation of the law. The speaker discusses the importance of rethinking mobility concepts, conducting hearings with various stakeholders, and the complexities of decision-making in the political context. The lecture also touches upon the impact of the law on urban traffic reduction, the role of the executive branch in law enforcement, and the need for cross-border cooperation in mobility planning. It concludes with reflections on the limitations of the legislative process and the overlooked aspects such as gender-specific considerations in transportation planning.
