Improving air quality is key to more liveable urban spaces, and a priority for many European cities. The transition to a zero-emission transport sector is needed to achieve this goal. Across Europe, schemes to reduce traffic pollution such as low-emission zones (LEZ) have multiplied, and more are planned in the future. What specific aspects need to be considered when planning and implementing LEZ? Are cities ready for the increasing number of electric vehicles?

Over the past two years, many have speculated about the post-pandemic world, what will it look like and how will mobility patterns be affected by it? As restrictions have been progressively lifted, the new normal looks very similar to the old status quo, with congestion levels in cities that have bounced back to their pre-pandemic levels. How has this impacted sustainable forms of transport, safety, and mobility regulatory frameworks? Has the mobility behaviour of users changed? What longer-term effects can be expected from the pandemic?

With the rise of active and micro mobility in urban areas, new challenges arise like finding harmony between sharing services and other users of the area. It also includes the increase in e-bikes and e-scooters, the request for safe and secure parking like (chargeable) docking stations, and the need for more data-driven insights. In this session we will highlight several pilots in which solutions of innovative European scale ups are being tested.

Debates on the inclusiveness of urban space have been gaining attention with compelling mobility concepts such as the 15mn city. Centred around principles such as accessibility, proximity, or tactical urbanism, these concepts call for an overhaul of how public space is distributed in cities – and could completely reset urban mobility systems. How far are cities from implementing this vision? What are priorities areas that should be addressed to get there? What opportunities can be expected from street redesign and public realm transformations?

Mobility incentives (or subsidies) are already being massively used by cities and regions in Europe that heavily subsidise the cost of public transport (up to 100%, in some cases) to enable “mobility for all”. However, public subsidies funded by taxpayer money have huge room for improvement as they could be optimised to target specific user groups or consider more detailed criteria for allocating them in real-time, unlocking massive impact.
