ELABORATOR Project, a leading initiative in the realm of #sustainable #urbanmobility, has released its highly anticipated Inclusion Plan, signalling a pivotal step forward in the quest for inclusive and climate-neutral cities. This comprehensive document outlines strategies to foster inclusivity at every stage of #urbanplanning and #mobility #innovation. The 3-year ELABORATOR project, involving 38 partners, is using a holistic approach for planning, designing, implementing and deploying innovations and interventions for sustainable urban mobility. These may include smart enforcement tools, space redesign and dynamic allocation, shared services, and integration of active and green modes of transportation. The interventions will be demonstrated in several cities across Europe, starting with six Lighthouse Cities of #Milan (#Italy), #Copenhagen (#Denmark), #Helsinki (#Finland), #IssylesMoulineaux (#France), #Zaragoza (#Spain) and #Trikala (#Greece); and six Follower Cities including #Lund (#Sweden), #Liberec (#CzechRepublic), #Velenje (#Slovenia), #Split (#Croatia), #Krusevac (#Serbia) and #Ioannina (#Greece). Each city will be implementing one or more innovative ‘interventions’ to improve urban mobility, with the aim of demonstrating how to implement the intervention and showcase their effectiveness to ‘Observer’ Cities. By prioritizing the needs of marginalized communities, ELABORATOR Project is spearheading a paradigm shift towards people-centred mobility. The release of the Inclusion Plan marks a significant milestone in the project, providing a roadmap for integrating inclusivity into research, innovation, and urban development activities from inception. https://lnkd.in/gabWdHix
