Urban mobility plays a critical role in addressing environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and economic resilience. However, cities across Europe face challenges such as traffic congestion, air pollution, limited accessibility, and mobility inequities, which hinder progress toward achieving climate neutrality and inclusivity. The ELABORATOR project responds to these challenges by designing, implementing, and evaluating innovative, citizen-centered urban mobility solutions.
The project aims to foster safe, inclusive, and sustainable mobility systems through a co-creation approach that involves diverse stakeholders, including citizens, local authorities, and experts. Central to its strategy is the integration of active and green transportation modes, smart enforcement tools, space reallocation, and shared mobility services. These solutions are tailored to the needs of vulnerable and excluded groups, ensuring equitable access for all.
By operating in six Lighthouse Cities (Milan, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Zaragoza, and Trikala) and six Follower Cities (Lund, Liberec, Velenje, Ioannina, Split, and Krusevac), the project demonstrates scalable interventions. Through its co-creative and inclusive methodology, ELABORATOR directly contributes to the European Green Deal and the EU’s goal of climate-neutral and smart cities.
