15-minute City AGORA Dialogue: A Call Agenda for the Urban Mobility Transition DUT invites European researchers, experts and local practitioners to discuss and co-create on challenges and key topics for the urban mobility transition. This highly interactive online workshop is a central step to reflecting and updating the DUT strategic document, the DUT Roadmap. In this context, the 15-minute City Pathway – one of the three thematic areas of DUT – updates its approach to transforming mobility to support liveable, inclusive and climate-neutral cites. Here, we tackle challenges connected to urban mobility by implementing research and innovation perspectives crossing sectors and linking stakeholders. Key Areas of the 15-minute City Pathway of DUT The DUT team welcomes all interested target groups of DUT to discuss and rethink Key Areas of Action as focus topics for the work of the 15-minute City Pathway. As a participant, you can review and find further information on the key areas in an overview and a more detailed narrative. Guiding questions: - What are the most important aspects / most urgent challenges for urban mobility transitions? - In which areas can research and innovation move most?  - Where should we set priorities and focus areas in the upcoming years?

🌟 Join Us at the #CIVITASFORUM2024 for an Exclusive Workshop on Updating the SUMP Guidelines! 🌟 Funded by the EU Urban Mobility Observatory: To ensure that the SUMP Guidelines continuously address the diverse and evolving needs of cities, this event will bring together representatives from local governments, transportation experts, and researchers. The update of the Guidelines is primarily intended to consider new trends, developments, challenges, and emerging technologies, as well as illustrate more recent good practice examples since its last release in 2019. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences with the current guidelines and provide feedback to help identify areas that need improvement and updating, as well as where new support, tools, and best practices are required. This will enable the SUMP Guidelines to be future-proof and ensure a high degree of practical applicability and usefulness. The workshop will feature interactive group discussions focused on: 🔹 Sharing Experiences: Discuss practical experiences with the existing SUMP Guidelines, highlighting successes and challenges. 🔹 Emerging Developments: Explore how recent developments in mobility are influencing urban mobility planning and discuss the relevance of the current guidelines. 🔹 Recommendations and Innovations: Brainstorm and suggest updates to the SUMP Guidelines, including identifying case studies that exemplify real-world challenges and innovative solutions. This workshop is designed to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange among urban mobility professionals, providing a unique opportunity to shape the future of urban mobility planning in Europe. Participants will engage in deep discussions, share their insights, and explore the feasibility of applying proposed solutions in their own cities. 📅 Date: Monday, 30th September 2024 - 13:30 – 15:30 📍 Location: Casa de la Musica, Auditorium, Piazzale San Francesco, 1, 43121 Parma (PR) More information will be provided upon registration.

“GAME CHANGER? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions” The AESOP - Association of European Schools of Planning Annual Congress is just around the corner (Paris, 8-12 July), and our Track 5 on Mobility - Planning and Change in Urban Mobility is still looking for your contributions. Chairs: Benjamin Büttner, Technische Universität München, Germany Patricia LEJOUX, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, ENTPE, Université Lumière Lyon 2, France Enrica Papa, University of Westminster, UK Dakota McCarty, Incheon National University, South Korea Our societies are navigating through ecological, energetic, and digital transitions, demanding shifts in mobility behaviors and urban planning policies. This track aims to explore these changes and invites contributions on conceptualizing, theorizing, and empirically examining these shifts across diverse geographical contexts. Topics include (but not limited to): Changes in transport modes: Car ownership and use, the future of electrification, autonomous vehicles, and the cycling revolution. Changes in transport and urban planning policies: Sustainable urban models, low-traffic neighborhoods, 15-minute cities, car-free cities, and tactical urbanism. Changes in mobility policies’ design and implementation: Impact of new players like Uber and Lime, role of bottom-up actors in shaping policies. Changes in theoretical and methodological approaches: Gender studies, global south studies, postcolonial studies, and critical transport studies. 📅 Deadline for #AESOP24 Abstract Submission: 31 January Submit your abstract now: https://lnkd.in/devuniAT

We- the Centre for Sustainable Planning and Environments at the University of the West of England in Bristol - are very pleased to be hosting the 2025 annual conference for the European Urban Research Association! The conference has nine tracks covering a variety of themes relating to how to plan, govern and develop cities in the future. In addition, ten mobile workshops will enable participants to visit innovative urban projects in Bristol and exchange ideas with local civic actors. I am very happy to be part of the team, and in particular co-chairing a tracked call ‘Regulating the city: planning and beyond’ with Hannah Hickman and Cornelia Roboger. We are interested in contributions that: Explore comparative regulatory regimes in Europe and beyond.  Examine the ‘post-consent’ space in planning – meaning monitoring, enforcement, and other spaces between granting of a permit and inhabitance of a development.  Explore the (potential) conflicts between planning/policy regimes and those of real estate and finance.  Consider different models of regulation such as design codes and sustainability indicators. Conference date - 10-13th June 2025 Abstract or panel proposal deadline - 31st October 2024 See our recent blog post: https://lnkd.in/ebAjWB7y and the conference webpage https://lnkd.in/eErE4J-Z

One week to go! Send your abstract to AESOP - Association of European Schools of Planning Annual Congress track 5: #Mobility by 31st January! TRACK 5: MOBILITY Planning and change in urban mobility Chairs: Benjamin Büttner, Technical University of Munich Patricia Lejoux, CNRS, ENTPE, Université Lyon 2  Enrica Papa, University of Westminster, London Dakota McCarty, Incheon National University, South Corea Our societies are undergoing a series of transitions: ecological, energetic and digital. This context calls for changes in mobility behaviours and transport and urban planning policies. This track aims to question these changes. What changes have already occurred? What changes are coming? This track welcomes contributions on conceptualising, theorising, and empirically examining these changes in different geographical contexts. Topics to be addressed include, for example: Changes in #transport modes: what changes in car ownership and use (young people's relationship with #cars, peak-car, post-car world, the future of electrification and #autonomous vehicles, etc.)? Has the #cycling revolution happened (where, how, for whom, etc.)? Will the pedestrian revolution happen (where, how, for whom, etc.)? What is the future of shared mobility? Changes in transport and urban planning #policies: In recent years, new urban models have been proposed to promote #sustainable mobility (Superblocks, low-traffic neighbourhoods, #15minutecity, car-free cities, tactical urbanism, etc.). What did that change? What are their limits? Changes in mobility policies’ design and implementation: new players have emerged in the mobility sector (Uber, Lime, etc.). What changes did they introduce to sustainable mobility management? Are sustainable mobility policies still designed, produced and managed in a top-down fashion? What role do bottom-up actors (diverse social actors, groups and movements) play in shaping sustainable mobility policies? Changes in theoretical and methodological approaches: new theoretical approaches have been developed, namely gender studies, global south studies, postcolonial studies, etc. What does it change when we study sustainable mobility from a gender perspective? From a Southern perspective? What are the benefits and limitations of critical transport studies? What new methodological approaches are implemented to study mobilities? Submit here:
