Abstract: The theme of micromobility was introduced for the first time in Workshop 6 of Thredbo 17 and was also discussed in Thredbo 18, in Cape Town. The growth of micromobility is evidenced in both Global North and Global South cities. Workshop 6 of the Thredbo 18 conference identified the need to better understand micromobility in different geographic contexts, identify the challenges and opportunities experienced by cities around the world and seek to understand the potential of multimodal integration. The workshop sought to identify the factors that shape successful micromobility adoption, with examples from Europe (Norway, Malta, Ireland), Asia (Taiwan), Africa (South Africa, Mozambique) and Australia. This diversity provided for a broad discussion on micromobility in a variety of contexts but also highlighted the rather significant differences experienced in different parts of the world. This report aims to provide an overview of the nine presentations delivered at the Cape Town conference and the discussions which ensued between the workshop participants. Policy and research recommendations conclude this report, as well as a view towards the Thredbo 19 conference.
