Periodic Reporting for period 2 - SUMP-PLUS (Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning: Pathways and Links to Urban Systems)
Reporting period: 2021-03-01 to 2023-02-28
i) developed strategies for SUMP implementation for context-specific mobility transformation pathways, and supporting methodologies and analytical tools for cities;
ii) demonstrated how cities can develop stronger cross-sectorial links between the mobility and other city sector/system generating/affecting mobility demand;
iii) identify new solutions to provide increased efficiency and sustainability, in both the freight and passenger sectors; iv) identified and demonstrated new partnerships and business models;
v) developed strategies for enhancing cooperation at governance level and for increasing capacity building;
vi) improved stakeholders’ engagement processes. SUMP-PLUS also delivered a methodology and supporting analytics demonstrating how to customize the pathway to cities with different characteristics, capabilities, availability of data/resources and aspirations. Good practices and lessons learnt from the laboratories were transferred to a new set of politicians, practitioners and researchers through a relevant number of cross-fertilisation activities and events as well as through a three-tier sharing and learning community and practical guidance tools.
1)practical strategy for SUMP implementation (5-10 years) specifically detailing how to identify the core measures’ packages, how to implement them, which are the key supporting activities in terms of management, resources and finances;
2)roadmap for the definition of a longer terms (20-30 years) transitions pathway to enable cities to accelerate the evolution of mobility policies towards more sustainable and liveable models;
3)examples of analysis between mobility sector and other city sectors acting as demand generation;
4)for smaller cities with limited resources/experience, the test of SUMP2.0/Topic Guide combining this with the use of simplified analytical tools for the exploitation of open data and the introduction of supporting activities aiming to improve governance, capacity building and partnerships through co-creation process and innovative engagement activities;
5)for more fully developed cities which are implementing/updating their SUMPs towards more sustainable targets, the provision of innovative methods and approaches to foster intra-municipal and across-levels governance coordination, capacity building, partnerships enforcement with private/external sectors and business models development;
6)demonstration of why governmental capacity building can be considered critical in transition pathways and how increased coordination at city/metropolitan level contributing to these processes could be a source of inspiration for other EU cities;
7)evidence base how well-tailored engagement strategies can support the co-creation processes related to SUMP implementation and create the conditions for enforcing of governance cooperation and policy alignment; new engagement tools were developed and implemented in cities, resulting in an innovative successful engagement approach of different stakeholders and supporting the generation of new sustainable urban mobility solutions;
8)a new set of guideline documents focusing on the main approaches and results from the project as extension of the available SUMP guidelines ; specific policy papers aimed to guide decision makers in their policy definition and set up;
9)success stories, video interviews of the six CLs have been collected providing insights into the challenges, findings and achievements of each of the CLs ;
10)a wide transferability programme towards the Follower Cities group and beyond consisting of expert training/case study example/knowledge transfer provided by the City Consult Agency, webinars, videos, material, tutorials uploaded on the City Consult Agency IT platform. Follower cities produced an Action Plan for the replicability of CL approaches each Follower has been paired to. A total of five different tools were selected by eight Follower Cities to be applied in the next future in their local context
