Para 2050, se prevé que casi el 70% de las personas vivirán en áreas urbanas. En la mayoría de las ciudades modernas, el espacio está diseñado para permitir un flujo de tráfico rápido, especialmente orientado al automóvil.

Ciudad de 15 minutos: ¿Una solución de movilidad urbana para el medio ambiente?

Cities around the world are being forced to become smarter due to the pressures of hosting large events. This summer alone has seen cities all across Germany host the 2024 European Football Championships (colloquially referred to henceforth as Euro 24); Paris welcoming the world’s top athletes for the summer Olympics (space restrictions prevent us from using its full official title) and several dozen cities all over the planet, from Warsaw to Buenos Aires feeling the full force of the logistical challenges of pop star Taylor Swift's extraordinarily popular Eras tour.

How hosting global events makes cities smarter

With new information becoming available on what seems to be a daily basis, what are the indicators that cities are on the right track to achieving their crucial sustainable mobility goals? Deploying new projects is only one tool in what has to be an armoury of solutions.

The shifting sands of sustainable mobility

At Intertraffic Amsterdam 2024, Nina Elter of IRF and Anastasia Deligianni from MetaMeta shared key insights on minimizing environmental impact through intelligent transportation policies. They emphasized the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in developing resilient, eco-friendly roadways. Deligianni highlighted strategies such as designing low-carbon roads, using local materials, and promoting electric vehicles. Elter discussed the need for a systems perspective and better governance to address transportation challenges. Both experts advocated for innovative solutions, community engagement, and global collaboration to achieve a net-zero future in transport infrastructure.

Net Zero Roads: Paving the Way to a Sustainable and Green Future

Prof Meredith Glaser is one of Europe’s leading cycling and active travel academics. Transitioning to a sustainable mobility future is no simple task and, as she explains, evidence-based policies on cycling are required to implement this much-needed but complex change

A holistic understanding of city-to-city learning and cycling’s role in the mobility revolution

At Intertraffic Amsterdam 2024 the subject of mobility hubs (a city location where people can access multiples modes of, ideally, shared mobility options), provided one of the most thought-provoking sessions of the entire week. A mobility hubs ‘champion’, and member of the ShareDiMobiHub project, suggesting that, perhaps, a re-think was required. We spoke with the speaker in question, Mpact’s Belgium-based project manager Jelten Baguet, and ShareDiMobiHub’s project leader Eric van Dijk, mobility advisor for the Province of Utrecht, about what constitutes the perfect mobility hub and how best to go about convincing the travelling public to use them.

How cities are nudging user behaviour to encourage the use of mobility hubs

New technologies are enabling evolved tolling systems that can support highway infrastructure managers in the challenges of, on the one hand, reducing error margins in transactions and, on the other hand, improving traffic flow with the consequent reduction in CO2 emissions and accident rates.
