15-minute City (15mC) – Topic 3 : Evidence for the urban mobility transition: data and indicators for effective decision-making

Objective

Improve access to reliable and accurate data to enhance the effectiveness, transparency, and inclusiveness of urban policies in the mobility and transport sector, while developing tools for monitoring, visualization, and local skill-building.

Priorities

  • Proposals should cover the collection, processing, management, and visualization of urban mobility data, while addressing existing gaps (e.g. goods transport, pedestrian movements);
  • The goal is to develop transferable methods to meet the needs of urban administrations, strengthen local capacities, and adapt solutions to cities of various sizes;
  • It is encouraged to integrate lessons from other sectors (energy transition, circular economy, etc.) and leverage disaggregated date (e.g. gender equality) in line with recognized indices (SUMI, SDGs, etc.);
  • Monitoring GHG emissions is crucial for accurately assessing the environmental impacts of mobility;
  • Proposals should also explore the interactions between mobility, planning policies, and inequalities, by developing tools to measure equitable access to opportunities at the local level;
  • Expected outcomes include conceptual frameworks, strategies to fill data gaps, and recommendations to improve governance and decision-making based on reliable data.
