SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT AND CITY PLANNING

Planning that increases accessibilty and reduces the need to use car

Localisation of housing and workplace areas and making sure the conditions for public transport, biking and walking are good defines and affects how people travel also in later stages.

Densification of a city increases the accesibility and competitiveness of public transport, cycling and walking.

Localisation along public transport routes are usually a good strategy,

…as well as combining parking management and mobility management

CHALLENGES

!!!!!!

Bicycle measures are easier to work with towards developers than MM-measures

Building permit department is unsecure of how to act – internal organisation and routines

Bicycle parking standards is too high according to developers

Follow-up of agreements to secure a good level of parking

How to act if developers don’t fulfil the agreements? How to market a service or solution provided by a

private company? How to communicate MM all the way to the user
