Rolling city 


Despite economic and geographical differences, European countries share a common trend of a growing freight transport sector, primarily on roads. This growth is not solely attributed to evolving production processes in industries, relying on quick and small-scale deliveries ("just in time"). Instead, both national and European-level policies favor road transport over rail.

In Germany alone, around 100,000 truck drivers search for parking spaces and overnight accommodations every evening. However, only about 70,000 drivers are successful in finding a spot for the night. The Rolling City project aims to provide insight into the lives of those residing in the small settlements that vanish when the sun rises.
