Rental scooters and bikes are everywhere, while the Elizabeth line receives awards. So who won the City Makers’ Forum debate on micromobility vs mass transit?
Our latest City Makers’ Forum for future urban leaders, in partnership with Hatch, tried out a new, quick-fire debate format, with lots of audience participation. Our expert panel split into two teams to debate micromobility vs mass transit:
- Marie Feuvrier, Senior Consultant, Momentum Transport Consultancy
- Jim Hubbard, Senior Public Policy Manager, Voi
- Sam Margolis, Head of Transport Strategy & Projects, Camden Council
- Jess Potter, Urban Design Team Leader, Southwark Council
- Neil Walmsley, UK/Europe Regional Director, Urban Solutions, Hatch (referee/chair)
At the end we polled the audince and asked if anyone had changed their minds. Here are a couple of responses:
“I’m still for mass transit but good to see how micromobility is becoming more embedded in London and part of the solution.”
“I thought both were of equal importance, but good micromobility is the mark of a truly thriving city and needs more investment.”

The City Makers’ Forum covers the big urban topics and provides a place for the future built environment leaders of our cities to build their professional networks.
