While I may be labeled a «conventional architect»,
my focus has turned over the past two years to
autonomous transport — and more precisely, to
weaving it seamlessly into the very fabric of the
city, its infrastructure, and the rhythm of urban
life. I’d be thrilled to join forces with urban
visionaries, automotive leaders, robotaxi
innovators, and the giants of IT and AI
to shape the future of mobility.
Autonomous transportation is the key to solving
nearly all pressing global challenges — from
affordable housing to the climate crisis itself. In my
view, accelerating the adoption of this innovation
requires progressive measures, not the current
conservative inertia. In short, I believe the world
needs a new profession: the Urban TaaS
(Transportation‑as‑a‑Service) Coordinator —
a specialist at the intersection of urban planning,
architecture, design, and sociology. We need this
role today, because in 7–10 years, we will need
tens of thousands of such professionals.
