Processes & collaboration models for transport-efficient city district

The way areas are planned, designed and what mobility solutions are offered have a major impact on the need to own and use a car, which in turn affects the amount of land used for parking and other infrastructure. In turn also affecting the amount of fossil fuels and other energy used to move people and goods. To reduce the size of obligatory area dedicated to parking, individual property owners currently subsidise mobility services. Availability and take-up is however often low. To be sustainable and effective, solutions must be district-wide and collaborative models need to be long-term. They also need to be applicable in already existing areas.

Based on case studies in four medium-sized Swedish municipalities, the project identifies successful methods, solutions, and business and cooperation models for how municipalities, together with property owners and mobility providers, can create transport-efficient city districts. The knowledge is summarised in an applicable handbook and disseminated through workshops, conferences and articles.
