Urban Mobility and Sustainable Transportation Systems

Forward-looking urban mobility enables all residents to move safely, efficiently, and sustainably within urban environments. It integrates active forms of mobility such as walking or cycling, public transportation, promotes the use of renewable energy, and combines innovative, environmentally friendly modes of transport. In doing so, it ensures emissions-free, healthy living and minimizes the carbon footprint.

Everyday-Ready Innovations

A variety of solutions that are simple and accessible to everyone in daily life are needed. These solutions must pass the everyday test while addressing concrete problems.

Development, Demonstration, and System Integration

Sustainable mobility solutions become visible in pilot neighborhoods. The interaction with urban infrastructure, other modes of transportation, and planning processes is tested, with the integration of various technologies and subsystems being essential for a harmonious overall picture.

Legal Framework and Business Models

The legal framework needs to be adapted to new mobility solutions. The development and implementation of sustainable business models and financing strategies are also crucial for their success.

Characteristics of Urban, Climate-Neutral Mobility

  • Prioritization of active mobility such as walking and cycling.
  • Resource conservation as a top goal.
  • Use of renewable energy and environmentally friendly technologies.
  • Integration and interoperability of various modes of transportation.
  • Adaptability and compatibility with existing systems.
  • Implementation of sharing models and collaborative platforms.
  • Use of digital tools in traffic management.

Climate-neutral urban mobility incorporates technological innovations, environmentally friendly approaches, as well as social, economic, and ecological aspects to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable development of the mobility system.
