Project description
Transforming urban mobility for a sustainable future
Urban mobility is influenced by personal choices and the design of cities, including land use and how transport systems function. These factors create unique urban mobility cultures that can vary significantly from one city to another. Unfortunately, many of these cultures pose challenges to achieving susceptibility goals, impacting the environment, economy, and social well-being. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the TRANSFORM project aims to understand and improve urban mobility practices. TRANSFORM will recruit doctoral candidates to study these issues through a holistic approach. Their research will be part of eight collaborative work packages involving top academic institutions and nine relevant non-academic organisations. The project focuses on training new researchers with essential skills to support sustainable transitions in urban mobility.
Objective
The interaction between individual choices to address mobility demands and the structural components of cities (e.g. land use and transport system) results in specific urban mobility cultures, which can be different across cities, regions, and countries. To varying degrees, those urban mobility cultures threaten various ecological, economic, and social objectives of a sustainable development. The project TRANSFORM aims to break new academic ground by studying from a holistic, interdisciplinary, intersectoral and gender- sensitive approach the meaning and functioning of transitions in urban mobility cultures, examining whether and to what extent transformative practices are effective mechanisms for activating and consolidating the transitions mentioned as well as the resulting socio-spatial effects. The operationalization of the project will be mainly based on recruiting 13 doctoral candidates, aiming to pursue post-graduate studies towards the acquisition of a doctoral degree. The research program of these individual researchers will be integrated into a set of 8 work packages that include the participation of 16 highly-reputed European academic institutions and 9 experienced non-academic organizations of relevance for urban mobility: private companies, associations, regional governments, and urban living labs. The project will focus on training of a new generation of researchers through an innovative, comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral doctoral program that includes: (i) academic training; (ii) non-academic training; (iii) transferable skills training; and (iv) specific and coordinated supervision & mentoring.
