Paradigm shift or incremental changes? Shaping mobility for liveable and social cities

What characterises sustainable urban mobility and how can we achieve it? This is the pivotal question that research teams have tried to answer by analysing four metropolises from Asia and Europe that define themselves as progressive and future-oriented on different fields of action. The results of these case studies have been collected and merged into a meta-study with best practices to create a vanguard image of social-ecological cities.

Congestion, bad accessibility, pollution, social segregation. Cities all over the world are fighting the various challenges that mobility is causing. But how to approach new and innovative strategies for cities, that are stuck in the concept of mainly designing their infrastructure for cars?

Our authors have identified eight fields of action for city and traffic planning that promote socially just and eco-friendly solutions for future mobility in urban areas. By that, they are formulating policy recommendations for cities to answer the question: do we need a paradigm shift in urban mobility or can we transform cities with incremental changes?
