Scope

Urban Mobility Planning covers a geographic area which often extends beyond a city's administrative boundaries and involves more than one local government administration. It therefore requires collaborative governance to ensure consistency in analysis, planning, timing, spatial scope and implementation of related planning processes and policies across several administrative areas. The scope of Urban Mobility Planning covers all transport modes, the environment, social inclusion, safety, health, spatial planning, freight and logistics as well as energy. These sectors are usually treated independently and require coordination and collaboration among government and municipal agencies. Accessibility, Behavioural Change and Social Inclusion are critical ingredients to urban mobility planning that are not always integrated within the planning process or the scope of resultant planning documents, These key elements that should be included within the scope of urban mobility planning are presented below.
