Moving in a narrow space. Towards a new mobility

The pursuit of acceleration, often manifested in such projects as Hyperloop trains launched inside pressurised tubes, still continues to seduce us today. 3D animations invite us to imagine a world in which futuristic technologies will permit us to travel ever faster and ever further - everything coordinated by digital environments.\r\nOur continuous consumption of space through the compression of time is no longer tolerable, as we are reminded by the renowned professor of sustainable development, John Whitelegg.
