Rethinking Urban Mobility: Towards Car-Independent Cities

Imagine cities where people are no longer reliant on private cars. Where the air is cleaner, greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced, and public spaces are reclaimed for everyone. In these cities, healthier lifestyles emerge, and mobility becomes more inclusive and equitable. There are many reasons to reduce car dependency and promote sustainable modes of transport – yet in many urban areas, car usage remains still high.

How can sustainable mobility options gain broader traction? This is the central question of the Driving Urban Transitions project: “Policy Mixes for Urban Mobility Transitions: Diffusing Sustainable Mobility Options Whilst Reducing Car Dependency” (PolicyMix4Mobility).
