15-minute City (15mC) – Topic 2 : Reconsidering urban mobility systems: towards system innovation and proximity policies for sustainable city regions
Objective
To understand the complex urban-mobility system, involving multiple actors and levels of governance, in order to better integrate interurban dynamics and encourage strategic partnerships, while considering the “15-minute City” Concept.
Priorities
- Proposals should develop innovative approaches to adopt a systemic approach to urban mobility and functional proximity;
- The focus should be on analyzing sustainable systems (ecological, social, economic) to replace existing ones, and on developing policies and instruments to manage and monitor urban mobility from a systemic perspective;
- The “15-minute City” Concept should be implemented at the metropolitan area level, incorporating polycentric development approaches and flexible systems tailored to individual needs;
- Proposals must address collaboration between governance levels and sectors, better linking urban mobility with other sectors (logistics, energy, urban greening), and aligning neighborhood developments with city and regional levels;
- Expected outcomes include: conceptual frameworks to analyze urban mobility at the metropolitan level, tools to assess and monitor mobility, lessons learned from ambitious pilots, and innovative governance approaches to improve coordination between governance levels and stakeholders.
