Shared mobility in urban development planning

In recent years, shared mobility in urban development planning has become an important and promising trend. Research into the frameworks and standards that municipalities can deploy to capture the potential of shared mobility is ongoing. This is a liberal extract and translation of the Dutch publication 'Deelmobiliteit in gebiedsontwikkeling'.

Mobility and spending survey 2024

The relationship between mobility and spending generates much discussion in practice between entrepreneurs, property owners and municipalities. The task is to optimise the liveability and attractiveness of city centre areas for residents and visitors in good cooperation.

Our advice is to carefully consider and understand all the 'separate' puzzle pieces provided by this research and use nuance as the starting point in any discussion.

Municipalities throughout Europe struggle with paid parking

In the past five years, paid parking zones have expanded considerably, and it's happening all over Europe. To cope with congestion, regulated parking usually starts in the city centre, and then gradually expands – like an oil slick.

Urban Nodes & SUMPs

By 2027, each urban node is expected to have a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) in place, serving as a long-term, integrated plan encompassing all aspects of mobility within the functional urban area.

These plans will prioritise sustainability, safety, and accessibility, with the goal of fostering efficient and environmentally friendly transportation systems.

Traffic emissions per vehicle km continue to decrease

The EU is striving to become the first climate-neutral continent, with the ambition to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. These efforts include reducing emissions and improving air quality, and good progress has been made over the past 20 to 30 years.
