Abstract

Decarbonizing transportation is one of the most important global priorities for mitigating the consequences of climate change. Cities are key actors in the low-carbon mobility transition, as their shift towards sustainability will significantly influence the trajectory of this transition. Through a qualitative analysis of the mobility plans of all Italian provincial capitals, this study sheds light on the role of cities in coordinating multi-regime interaction within the sustainability transition of the urban mobility system. More specifically, it highlights how these institutions are working to destabilize the automobility regime, support more sustainable mobility regimes, and accelerate and stimulate niches and inter-regime niche innovations. Despite significant similarities in the instruments cities plan to implement, a cluster analysis revealed that modal split scenarios for 2030 vary substantially across cities, often reflecting baseline modal splits of different mobility regimes currently operating in the urban context. These differences may increase in the long term.

城市交通系统向可持续性过渡的多制度互动的城市协调：意大利案例研究

交通运输脱碳是减轻气候变化后果的最重要的全球优先事项之一。城市是低碳交通转型的关键角色，因为它们向可持续发展的转变将对这一转型的轨迹产生重大影响。通过对意大利所有省会城市交通规划的定性分析，本研究揭示了城市在城市交通系统可持续性转型中协调多机制互动的作用。更具体地说，它强调了这些机构如何努力破坏汽车出行机制的稳定，支持更可持续的出行机制，加速和刺激利基和机制间的利基创新。尽管城市计划实施的工具具有显著的相似性，但聚类分析显示，2030年的模式分裂情景在不同城市之间存在很大差异，通常反映了目前在城市环境中运行的不同交通制度的基线模式分裂。从长远来看，这些差异可能会增加。

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
