HOW WE WILL MOVE IN THE NEXT FUTURE? Study visit and thematic workshop 24-25 October in Pescara
Mobility has a major influence on how we live our lives today. It helps to determine how people, businesses, communities and countries interact. It opens doors to new opportunities. It will shape our prosperity and quality of life in the future. The mobility sector plays a vital role in the EU economy and society. Yet today, mobility is undergoing profound transformations. Digitalisation, automation and alternative energy sources are transforming the transport system and challenging its traditional features.
The continuous development of cities and associated population growth, congestion and pollution has pushed sustainable urban mobility up the agenda. The need for more sustainable, intelligent and integrative planning processes as a way of dealing with these challenges and identifying an appropriate set of policies has been widely recognised.
At a time of limited finance for SUMPs (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans), it’s really important for cities to be able to find measures that have a big impact but don’t cost much – like improvements in micro accessibility, or low cost conversion of road space to public space for people.
