Appraisals of urban mobility schemes are crucial to assess the expected benefits of particular schemes, determine their suitability to meet policy objectives and to prioritise them.
This mobility practitioner webinar from CIVITAS SUMPs-Up focuses on how to integrate SUMPs into urban planning, climate and energy strategies.
Alongside CIVITAS SUMPs-Up experts, a presentation is given by the SIMPLA project, which harmonised Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) and SUMPs.
The City of Lahti (Finland) also introduces its “Lahti Direction” urban development plan, which integrated mobility and land-use planning.
A series of fact sheets chronicling good practice examples of measures, instruments and planning procedures related to Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are now available to read.
The fact sheets give details of projects that have taken place in the seven partner cities of the CIVITAS SUMPs-Up project. Partner cities are Birmingham (UK), Budapest (Hungary), Donostia-San Sebastian (Spain), Malmö (Sweden), Sofia (Bulgaria), Thessaloniki (Greece) and Turin (Italy).
The calls for contributions, exhibitors and sponsors are currently open for this year's CIVITAS Forum closing 31 May 2019. For more information about the event, including the draft programme and full details on travel and accommodation, visit the event page here.
