Periodic Reporting for period 2 - SCALE-UP (Scale up user-Centric and dAta driven soLutions for connEcted Urban Poles)
Período documentado: 2022-12-01 hasta 2024-05-31
The strategic goal of SCALE-UP is to develop data-driven and user-centric strategies at the right scale (FUA/ TEN-T) to accelerate the take-up of smart, clean and inclusive mobility, and become well-connected and multi-usage urban nodes, to the level needed to meet climate targets and European transport policy objectives. The 3 advanced TEN-T nodes Antwerp, Madrid and Turku team up and implement 28 innovative mobility measures within 5 intervention fields: GOVERNANCE, MULTIMODAL HUBS, DATA CLEAN SAFE AND INCLUSIVE and BEHAVIOUR.
These 5 intervention fields are directly linked to the following 5 strategic objectives of the project:
1. Improve multi-level governance and multi-stakeholder cooperation enabling seamless multimodal transport across TEN-T urban node area (GOVERNANCE).
2. Develop well (inter-) connected and multimodal nodes for passengers and freight as the backbone of a resilient mobility system, including network optimisations (MULTIMODALITY).
3. To develop data driven mobility strategies and tools to stimulate seamless multimodal transport of passengers and freight and optimise network capacity across the functional urban area (DATA).
4. Provide access to clean, safe and inclusive mobility solutions (CLEAN - SAFE - INCLUSIVE).
5. Change travel behaviour with a focus on inclusive, clean, active and healthy modes of transport (BEHAVIOUR).
A sixth strategic objective 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.

As a general view of the work progress during this period, all the WP are ongoing, and the status of each WP is as follows:
• WP1: Initial versions of frameworks for the development and implementation of strategies for vertical and horizontal upscaling were delivered and validated (knowledge webinar and interviews with fellow cities and experts) as well as the first version of guidelines and recommendations was worked on. Currently, these initial versions are being updated and inputs for the final versions are collected (80% progress).
• WP2: the 3 urban nodes (Antwerp, Madrid, and Turku) are working on the innovative governance models with the cooperation of different stakeholders. Most of the measures are in the validation phase (80% progress).
• WP3: Antwerp, Marid, and Turku are planning, implementing and starting in monitoring the measures linked with the multimodal transport systems. Most of the measures are in the validation phase (80% progress).
• WP4: the 3 urban nodes are working on the measures linked with tools and digitalization for their transport system. Most of the measures are in the validation phase and some even finished already (80% progress).
• WP5: clean, safe, and inclusive mobility measures are under development in Antwerp, Madrid and Turku. Most of the measures are in the validation phase and some even finished already (40% progress).
• WP6: the measures focused on achieving a change of behaviour among the citizens are being planned and implemented. Most of the measures are in the validation phase (80% progress).
• WP7: the impact evaluation methodology of the measures were reviewed and the strategies to evaluate the horizontal and vertical integration defined (75% progress).
• WP8: activities in the Community of Practice continued according to the structured programme for knowledge exchange and capacity building put forward initial stage of the project; seven Fellow Cities were selected following an open call, to support transferability and replication (66% progress).
• WP9: several communication and dissemination activities were done, 3 merchandising products were produced. In addition, activities linked to the Urban Node Platform and the Annual events jointly with the General Assemblies were carried out (75% progress).
• WP10: the project is being continuously managed by the responsible partners and the framework for the Ethics and Data Management requirements ensured (75% progress).

All the measures are progressing adequately and they are in the validation phase. Some of them are already finished. All will be finished by the end of 2024.
