Addressing peripheral neighbourhoods in sustainable urban mobility planning (en)

As European cities grow, their peripheral neighbourhoods show an increasingly high demand for mobility. For example; from daily commuters travelling into city centres. However, these neighbourhoods at the outskirts of urban centres have remained largely unaddressed in terms of dealing with this growing demand for passenger and freight traffic.

Suburban areas, therefore, face challenges of:

1. Becoming sufficiently appealing for daily chores and activities to avoid an unnecessary traffic flow towards the city centre;
2. Providing sustainable and high-quality mobility options to enable and encourage car independent lifestyles; and
3. Planning the urban future according to carbon-neutral mobility principles.

This webinar will address these questions by presenting lessons learned from the CIVITAS ECCENTRIC project. In ECCENTRIC, five cities have designed and implemented sustainable urban mobility measures that address the specific challenges of sustainable suburban mobility in growing urban areas.
