Marco te Brömmelstroet, who holds the chair on Urban Mobility Futures at the University of Amsterdam, radically reimagines the way in which society thinks about mobility, transport systems and the streets.

Passionate about the relations between land use and mobility, Marco is Chairman of the Board of Urban Cycling Institute, which he launched in 2016. The Institute leads research into the reciprocal relations between cycling, society, and cities.

Known as ‘Fietsprofessor’ (The Cycling Professor), Marco also launched the Laboratory of Thought in 2022. He has published more than 40 academic articles with over 3000 citations. His co-authored book on his thinking, MOVEMENT: how to take back our streets and transform our lives, won Best Journalism Book in the Netherlands. The book explores society’s dependence on cars and asks the fundamental question: who do our streets belong to?

He is bringing his family to Australia and plans to explore the south and east coasts, after visiting Western Australia on his previous visit.

Marco’s Twitter handle is @fietprofessor, and he has nearly 100,000 followers.
