Sharing Opportunities for Low Carbon Urban TransporTatION

Project Description

Transport is a key enabler of economic activity and social connectivity. While providing essential services to society, transport is also an important part of the economy and it is at the core of a number of major sustainability challenges, such as climate change, air quality, safety, energy, security and efficiency in the use of resources (EC 2011: Transport White Paper).

The overall mission of this project is to support the uptake of innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions in Europe and other regions in the world, in particular in Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean.

SOLUTIONS will cover the following regions: the Mediterranean, Asia (in particular China and Singapore) and Latin America. SOLUTIONS brings together some of the leading experts and city networks from these regions, aiming to foster knowledge exchange and boost the uptake of innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions through the further exploitation of existing knowledge, focusing primarily on policy and the assessment of implementation processes. Building upon previous experience in Europe, China, Singapore and Latin America, as well as the experience that will be gained during the various phases of this project, the SOLUTIONS transferability guidelines will aim to bring about detailed steps towards the uptake of innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions and technologies in Europe and beyond.

The cities selected for the various phases of this project represent a range of comparable urban environments in the target regions. The focus will be less on mega-cities and more on second-tier cities, aiming in that way to achieve a high level of transferability. The regions addressed in this project present different levels of maturity in terms of experience with sustainable urban mobility related actions.
