Imagine if city streets were treated like shared living rooms instead of just parking lots for cars. This effort looks at how to change road layouts to make walking and biking safer and easier for everyone, especially people often ignored in city planning. It's about turning car-heavy roads into spaces that make people healthier and happier.
Cities are currently dominated by car-centered infrastructure that excludes marginalized groups and hinders climate goals. There is a lack of practical, scalable methods to transition these streets into inclusive, active-mobility spaces.
A set of 6 deliverables including 'how-to-do-it' knowledge for street infrastructure redesign and behavior change strategies.
If you are a civil engineering firm dealing with outdated car-centric road designs — this project developed a 'how-to-do-it' knowledge base that helps you rapidly implement active mobility infrastructure across 12 different cities.
If you are a transit operator dealing with low ridership and poor last-mile connectivity — this project developed strategies to change individual mobility behavior that increase the use of walking and cycling.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of inclusive data for city planning — this project developed a method to put marginalized social groups at the core of infrastructure decision-making.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
Yes, the project is designed for rapid replication across hundreds of cities in Europe, utilizing knowledge generated from 12 initial cities.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing details are not mentioned.
The project focuses on spatial justice and climate change goals, helping cities meet sustainability and inclusivity mandates.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-06-30.
The consortium is highly diverse with 32 partners from 16 countries. It features a strong mix of 17 'Other' organizations (likely city administrations) and 8 universities, supported by 5 industry partners. With a 16% industry ratio and 2 SMEs, the project is heavily weighted toward public sector implementation and academic research rather than commercial product development.
