Urban mobility

Urban mobility

The traffic congestion, the noise, the pollution – getting around cities is becoming more than just a problem, it’s becoming life-threatening! That’s not to mention the fact that this inefficiency is damn expensive – costing the EU’s cities 100 billion euro per year. To put that number into perspective – it’s 1% of total EU GDP! What can we do ?! Well, there’s no one right answer to that question. Each city has its own unique set of problems. There are however, some universal truths. First, it’s good to keep in mind that 55% of people in the world are now living in cities. This means that from energy dependency and climate change to economic development – whatever the problem, cities are an important part of the solution. People that live and work in a given city know it best. That’s why getting residents and local authorities involved in the creation of any policy that affects them is so important.

Keeping this in mind, in 2009, the European Commission adopted the Action Plan on Urban Mobility. The basic assumption of this initiative was simple – encourage local, regional and national governments to work together and find the best possible Sustainable Urban Mobility solutions. What’s encouraging is that the Action Plan on Urban Mobility seems to have been a successful catalyst. Plans regarding various aspects of urban mobility – from road safety and traffic to freight and city access – have started popping up like mushrooms after the rain!

Key Points

  • Smart city planning and commuting
  • Green (zero-emission) public transportation
  • Bus Rapid Transport (BRT), autonomous buses
  • Other ways of getting around: ride-haling, ride-sharing, bike-sharing
  • Connecting the smart city to the suburbs – getting there and back
  • Unified ticketing and payment systems
  • Traffic management & safety
  • The role of Big Data
  • Legal issues related to the future of urban mobility

You should be particularly interested in this track if you:

  • Work for a company that provides public transportation (or any complimentary service i.e. payments)
  • Are a city planner
  • Operate a fleet of vehicles used for urban mobility (ride-haling, bike-sharing, logistics)
  • Represent national and/or local government or an NGO
  • Are a concerned city resident who wants to get involved
