Our analysis reveals how the dynamics of low willingness to learn and the capacity to lead among key actors led to a reduced vision, scope, and design, ultimately missing initial objectives. We underscore the role of power differentials and institutional barriers in this process. We conclude by offering reflection points for stakeholders to consider in future experiments.

This study utilizes data from the second wave of the ‘National daily mobility panel’ (2019, ELIPSS) survey in France to demonstrate that higher environmental concern may lead to stronger public transportation habits and less frequent car use. However, the relationship between these variables is not straightforward but rather significantly contingent upon the unequal distribution of motility among the population. Among lower education or income groups, the lack of motility can impede the translation of environmental concern into mode shift.

The study focuses on a social centre for older people in the municipality of Trelleborg in the south of Sweden. The social centre is located in an area with several retirement homes and hosts a variety of opportunities for social interaction for older people in combination with other services. The municipality also arranges free excursions for older people in the municipality departing from the social centre. Another initiative is a pilot project testing an autonomous bus outside of the social centre to ordinary public transport. The study includes observations, interviews with older people and officials, as well as travel-alongs. The results show that a combination of social participation and mobility can facilitate a more active everyday life for older people, increase social connectedness, and contribute to the creation of age-friendly environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Mobility","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many interventions are episodic in nature, intensive interventions that operate daily for months or years are difficult to implement because they are more disruptive of the status quo and more likely to face opposition from influential stakeholders. The objective of this study was to capture and compare the perspectives of three distinct stakeholders – residents, parents, and children – regarding school street interventions that operated daily from September to June in two neighbourhoods in a mid-sized Canadian city. Resident and parent perspectives were captured using anonymous online surveys, while child perspectives were captured using focus groups. Children and parents from both neighbourhoods perceived a need for the intervention to eliminate the hazards posed by vehicular congestion around the school entrance. Both groups reported that the intervention increased safety for children as they come and go from school each day. Residents were less convinced that the intervention was necessary and reported increased congestion on neighbouring streets. There were notable differences in residents’ perspectives between the two neighbourhoods regarding perceived changes in safety and in their experiences of the interventions, which are likely attributable to differences in built form and pre-existing traffic patterns in each neighbourhood. Motorists, whether as parents or residents, were much less likely to observe the intervention as beneficial and pleasant, and more likely to report observing problems with how it operated. These findings offer critical insights for policy and practice for street closure interventions, including having an effective strategy for traffic management to minimize opposition, the value of pilot testing to build support, and centering children's needs and voices in efforts to reclaim streets as public space.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Mobility","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100094"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These efforts often involve a dual approach: promoting higher activity density to increase proximity to destinations while enhancing the experience of active mobility. However, a notable gap exists in addressing densely populated areas with established built environments, where the focus remains primarily on improving active mobility infrastructure. This study represents a crucial initial step in tackling this challenge. It examines mode distribution trends and trip purposes in Barcelona, an urban area that has recently seen significant enhancements in active mobility spaces. Our study sheds light on evolving modal share trends by analyzing local travel surveys from 2010 to 2019. The findings reveal relatively unchanged patterns in travel behavior at the city level during the examined years. Nevertheless, a closer examination of mode distribution for specific trip purposes, age ranges, and gender exposes noticeable shifts. The newly implemented infrastructure may have helped prevent a shift from active mobility to car usage, particularly for trips traditionally associated with public transit or walking, such as accessing public or health services.

A fast way to connect these areas is the construction of roads. However, this generates a car-depending mobility among the inhabitants, which is in conflict with several sustainability goals. Moreover, the impact of the implementation of new public transport options is only partly known and this fact reduces the willingness to invest in expensive public transport measures. In this work we examine different mobility concepts, including shared mobility, bicycle highways, a high-frequency bus service, suburban trains and car limitations in a new residential area of 2000 households in Berlin, Germany, which is currently under construction. The households and inhabitants are created synthetically using statistical data derived from a survey among the first people moved in. The age and size structure of these households turn out to be different from the neighboring households. Then, we implement all measures in a microscopic travel demand simulation and quantify the potential modal shifts for four different mobility concepts. The results show that weak and short-term mobility concepts show no significant change in mobility behavior. Only highly integrated projects like bicycle highways into the inner city combined with suburban trains can reduce the need for car-dependent mobility. Shared mobility only fills in the gaps for special occasions but not for daily mobility due to the high costs. In a final step we examine the usage of the introduced public transport services and compare the change in the occupation of the buses and trains. Here our work shows that interchanging from bus to subways and suburban trains drastically reduces the attractiveness of public transport. Introducing a new suburban train changes this situation and the whole region shows a drop of 40% of car trips.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Mobility","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100090"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
