Creating an Innovative Mobility Ecosystem for Urban Planning Areas

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Disrupting Mobility

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mobility ((LNMOB))

Abstract

Urban planning, infrastructure design, and mobility policy are up against a tough system-level challenge: the rapid adaptation of shared mobility. The new mobility is destabilizing the current auto-oriented transportation paradigm, and gradually moving toward a new mobility ecosystem. In order to capture the potential and create shared infrastructure, an innovative mobility planning model based on a scientific approach was developed to identify context-sensitive area solutions and the scaling of the proposed ecosystem for short- and long-term horizons. The aim of this model is to build capacities and competencies, enable municipal authority and system planners to quantify the scale and cost, and accurately model the potential impact and benefits of various innovative mobility strategies.
