You are kindly invited!
The SHARE-North Squared and DREAMS projects invite you to their joint symposium on Wednesday the 1st of October 2025, 13:00-18:15, in the City of Utrecht.
Join us and learn more about shared mobility in the City of Utrecht and why we need shared mobility in social housing projects and in the urban outskirts. We start the afternoon by introducing Utrecht's urban planning strategy and both projects. Next, we invite you to take part in our workshops. And yes, there will be drinks afterwards!
