Project description
Participatory urban planning for cleaner air
Developing sustainable urban land use and transport strategies is a key pillar of EU policies aimed at tackling climate change, improving air quality and promoting sustainable growth. However, to put these strategies into practice requires a better understanding of the relationship between urban design, air quality and emissions, as well as the systematic engagement of stakeholders. The EU-funded INTRANCES project brings together land use and transport planning specialists and transport users to carry out participatory scenario modeling of land use and transport to meet EU policy objectives. The project will examine the feasibility of different transport strategies, identify win-win solutions to address multiple objectives at the same time and indicate potential problems in transport policy performance. The overall goal is to deliver policy recommendations for urban design strategies to reduce emissions and improve air quality.
Objective
In order to ensure full compliance with EU policy objectives for climate, air quality and sustainable development integrated transport strategies are needed for Europe’s towns and cities. However, incorporating such schemes into broader urban planning strategies is challenging, and achieving stakeholder buy-in often means the difference between success and failure. The INTRANCES project engages key stakeholders (land use and transport planning experts and transport users) in integrated participatory modelling of land use and transport scenarios to help address EU policy goals. The aim of the project is to test the feasibility of different transport strategies, identify win-win solutions that simultaneously address multiple goals, and signal potential problems in implementation leading to recommendations for sustainable transport policy in Madrid and other cities across the EU. Building on the fellow’s previous experience in participatory land use modelling, and the host’s significant expertise in policy relevant transport research, INTRANCES develops an urban simulation model to output indicators for land use, transport and energy and emissions based on scenarios developed by key stakeholders. In addition to this knowledge exchange between host and fellow, the fellowship draws on the additional knowledge of key experts in air pollution modelling, urban planning, and integrated scenario modelling, including a 3-month secondment at a commercial consultancy in the Netherlands. This multi-way process of knowledge exchange is of high strategic value to the host and secondment partner and is expected to significantly enhance the fellow’s career prospects, both in academia and beyond. Its research objectives will lead to insights and recommendations for current and future efforts to implement sustainable transport across the EU.
