Scale up user-Centric and dAta driven soLutions for connEcted Urban Poles

Project description

Accelerating green and inclusive mobility change in European cities

Transport today represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce the share of transport and mobility emissions, urban transport systems need to move people and goods using more sustainable modes. Mobility initiatives need to be smart, clean and inclusive. The EU-funded SCALE-UP project will explore such solutions. It will assist three European urban nodes (Madrid in Spain, Antwerp in Belgium, and Turku in Finland) in becoming better connected and climate resilient while developing and operating complex multimodal transport systems, which can easily be scaled up. Specifically, the project will aim to improve the multilevel and multi-stakeholder governance enabling seamless multimodal transport across and beyond the three urban nodes.

Objective

In SCALE-UP 3 advanced urban nodes Antwerp, Madrid and Turku, team up around 1 main goal: develop data-driven and user centric strategies to accelerate the take-up of smart, clean and inclusive mobility, by means of well-connected and multi-usage urban nodes, to the level needed to meet EU climate and transport objectives.

To reach the main goal, 5 strategic objectives are defined:
- Improve multi-level and multi-stakeholder governance enabling seamless multimodal transport across urban nodes
- Develop (inter)connected and multimodal nodes for passengers and freight as a backbone of a resilient mobility system, including network optimisations
-Develop data driven mobility strategies and tools to stimulate seamless multimodal transport of passengers and freight and optimise network capacity across the wider urban area
- Provide access to inclusive clean and safe mobility solutions
- Change travel behaviour focussing on clean, active and healthy modes of transport
The 5 objectives relate to fields of intervention in which the SCALE-UP urban areas excel and deliver valuable output by implementing 28 mobility measures scaled to the FUA and taking into account the TEN-T dimension. Furthermore a strong framework for thematic policy validation amongst SCALE-UP experts guarantees a meaningful cooperation between the 3 urban areas, internal capacity building and mutual exchange and learning.
A 6th strategic objective (TAKE UP) defines how the project delivers evidence of the effectiveness of the different actions in relation to EU climate and transport targets, and how it accelerates the take-up of these solutions amongst and beyond SCALE-UP urban areas.

The evaluation framework with proven EU record, provides evidence of the impact. Moreover the data driven approach pays special attention to how new digital mobility solutions yield new datasets. These offer new insights and feed the evaluation framework resulting in a more evidence- based policy development.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.
