Last week, I spent some time with the Eco-mobility.tv crew telling them how we at Do The Green Thing think about the future of mobility. We chatted about all sorts of things, from innovation in public transport to different ways people and governments have been making commuting enjoyable.
Have you ever wondered what transportation will be like 13 years from now? Maybe cars will have better designs, and maybe trains and buses will have developed in such a way that staying grounded is peoples’ preferred option.
This week in Paris, Mobility 2025 will debate these things – the future of mobility. Ecomobility.tv is bringing together mobility experts, journalists and bloggers to debate about the future of mobility. You can stream the debate live here as well as contribute your own thoughts via the Twitter hashtag #Mob2025.

Before this, she worked as the Development Manager at Social Innovation Camp, an organization that encourages people to use web and mobile-based technology to mobilise social change. She oversaw 300 ideas submission and helped build 20 prototypes – five of which have gone on to get further funding or investment.
Katherine’s came over to the UK form Canada in 2007 for an MSc program at the London School of Economics. Before arriving in London, she managed a small environmental start-up in Vancouver called the Canadian Climate Change Alliance.
Katherine is football mad. She is a loyal supporter of Arsenal FC, plays for Islington Borough Ladies FC and coaches for Gunners in Islington in her spare time. Her second favourite hobby is kite surfing and she can sometimes be found chasing the wind.
