Abstract
The paper analyzes possible changes in people’s urban mobility, understanding if and how the evolution of behaviours in connection with the ICT innovation and/or evolution, the development of digital tools (Internet, smartphone and transport applications) could facilitate travel practices. Our research field is the “Nouveau Mons” district within the European Metropolis of Lille (MEL) which has undertaken significant changes thanks to the national policies of urban regeneration. We analyze the articulation of its inhabitant’s mobility within and outside the district (daily travel: work, school, shopping, etc., or more punctual movements: holidays, leisure …) and new consumption practices (Internet, Drive …). We consider their consequences in terms of development at a neighbourhood scale (offer of shared mobility, delivery points for urban freight), development of active transport modes (walking and cycling) facilitated by the short distances to be travelled in this neighbourhood that is very well innervated and served by public transport. We have conducted interviews with representatives of the city and realized focus groups with the “Nouveau Mons” inhabitants or workers.

Notes
- 1.
In 2014, a law called MAPTAM [3] has created citizen structures called “citizen councils”, mandatory for neighbourhoods having benefited from the French program of urban policy to encourage citizen participation within those neighbourhoods.
- 2.
In what follows, we didn’t include teenagers (11 to 16 years old) in the analysis, because their choices in terms of mobility are limited by the facts that most of them are going to school on foot and that a lot of them still depend on their parents when they go further.
