E-scooter operators are coming to our cities. There is a clear business interest for them. But cities have a clear interest as well : reducing car traffic, air pollution and reclaiming public space and pushing the number of cyclists in the city. Cities should invest in high-quality cycling services in order to prepare to the Mobility as a Service era.
Micro-mobility & free floating bike sharing are disrupting the classical mobility model in European cities. The Brussels region has adopted a balanced legal framework empowering disruptive innovation on the one hand and meeting public interests (such as saving public space) on the other hand
Martin Mendelsohn is a Namibian graduate researcher working with Development Workshop in Luanda on his Masters thesis for the University of Cape Town Planning School on the impact of para-transit (specifically candongueiros) in Luanda. He has gathered literature on para-transit studies done elsewhere to find useful parallels between the candongueiros and matatus in Kenya than possibly the mini-bus taxis in South Africa. He has carried out field work in Luanda, interviewed taxi drivers, studied travel times and mapped results using GIS tools.
Despite the rapid growth of Luanda and the significant investment in new satellite-dormitory-city development, (often Chinese financed), the city still lacks a rapid urban transit system. Some arterial and ring-roads have been built but a strategy for rapid public transport has not yet been implemented. Private vehicles used by senior civil servants and middle and upper class commuters have led to serious road congestion. The public bus service cannot meet the demand. Consequently, the majority of the population is dependent on private and informal taxi services of the paratransit sector. Combi-type mini-buses candongeiros and passenger-carrying motorbikes called kupapatas dominate this paratransit market.
The research suggests that urban transport planning in Luanda should develop a hybrid between rapid public transport on principal travel routes and employ paratransit on local collector routes. Transfer nodes therefore must be planned at strategic points.

A lean and flexible BRT concept - the Kampala caseEric Trel
Uganda decided to develop a BRT for its capital city Kampala, to be financed by the World Bank. ROM, Arup and AH developed a lean and flexible concept that fits to local conditions and made the design for the BRT pilot corridor. The concept minimises land acquisition and minimises the need for operational subsidy. Presentation made at the UATP conference in Johannesburg, October 2014.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

• An applicant must obtain from the Planning Authority the necessary permits and/or a
no objection thereof.
• Where an application is submitted on Government land it requires an Encroachment
Permit from the Lands Authority. In addition, the applicant must obtain a No Objection
from the respective Local Council where the said application is submitted in an area
which has been devolved from the Lands Authority to the Local Council.
An annual Encroachment Permit Fee set by the Lands Authority shall be that of €50.
In addition to the aforementioned fee, a €50 fee per square meter occupied by the
docking stations should also apply.
• Once the applicant is granted permission from the Planning Authority and the Lands
Authority, an application with Transport Malta is required. The application should
include:
– the permit or no objection from the Planning Authority;
– the Encroachment Permit from the Lands Authority;
– no objection from the respective Local Council, where applicable;
– copy of an insurance policy; and
– the respective receipts that all necessary fees have been paid. (Planning Permit &
Encroachment Permit)
