Policy approaches to urban mobility
The starting point for the theme is the forward-looking time perspective. Also fundamental are the increasing needs to change the conditions for urban mobility in a direction that supports the concept of sustainable urban development. Getting the price right for various means of transport may reduce negative external effects while, at the same time, supporting a more equitable urban mobility. More specifically, the theme includes research on policies, instruments and other measures that have the ability to affect the demand of various modes of urban transports directly, and to level the playing field in the long run.
