Project description
Addressing urban challenges through innovative mobility project
There is an urgent need to curb emissions and foster sustainable urban development. Congestion, pollution, and inefficient transport systems contribute to environmental degradation. In this context, the EU-funded MOBILITIES FOR EU project strides onto the scene. This initiative aims to demonstrate that implementing innovative, participative, and user-centred solutions for passenger mobility and freight transport can be cost-effective in steering cities towards climate neutrality. Leading the charge are Madrid and Dresden, implementing 11 pilots with 27 solutions using electrification, automation, and connectivity. These Lead Cities aspire to pioneer the transformation, establishing Urban Transport Labs as Innovation Hubs. Five Replication Cities will follow suit, participating in the upscaling, and becoming protagonists of their own designs.
Objective
MOBILITIES FOR EU aims at demonstrating that innovative passenger mobility and freight transport concepts designed and implemented following participative and user-center principles are cost-effective and feasible solutions to contribute significantly to the cities’ transformation towards climate-neutrality, allowing to speed up the process even to reach SCOPE 2 emissions reduction in 2030.
Madrid (Spain) and Dresden (Germany) will implement 11 pilots comprising 27 very innovative solutions for mobility of people and freight, exploiting the combined potential of electrification, automation and connectivity, from the design to the implementation and evaluation stages acting as Lead Cities (LC). Both cities also ambition to act as pioneers of this process, taking advantage of multiple already existing initiates of social engagement and empowerment that will be integrated in the idea of Urban Transport Labs (UT-Labs), conceived as Innovation Hubs with the aim of fostering faster upscaling and replicability at EU level, making 5 Replication Cities (Ioaninna–Greece, Trencin–Slovakia, Espoo-Finland, Gdansk-Poland and Sarajevo-Bosnia&Herzegovina) through their own UT-Labs direct participants of the processes and later on main protagonists of their own designs.
