The May issue of Domus, curated by Norman Foster, explores the future of mobility.

Domus 1090 delves into the topic of mobility which intersperses with the early studies on aerodynamics and electric cars and the relationship between transportation and the built environment. “In the 1940s and 1950s of my youth, I was obsessed with the world of motion and speed,” writes Norman Foster in the editorial. Today, the 2024 guest editor continues, cities haven’t changed much, but our society is still strongly dependent on cars and urban expansion, which is reflected in the “high energy consumption and a corresponding carbon footprint.” Therefore, the future of mobility is inextricably linked to the future planning of cities and the infrastructure.
