Project: Safe and sustainable mobility strategies for cities

 

Linked Target:

Make planning, implementation and management recommendations (taking into account different time and jurisdictional horizons) for the promotion of sustainable and safe mobility, aimed at promoting the development of cities.

           

Description:

According to different projections (ONU, 2016), the urban population has grown in recent years and will continue to do so constantly, furthermore, it will be the intermediate cities that will lead the greatest growth. This population growth creates important challenges for
cities around the world. With the purpose of reaching integrated cities, socially equitable, secure, green, resilient, prosperous and innovative and to guarantee sustainable urban growth, territorial models must be addressed from strategic planning with a comprehensive vision and regional. Mobility is an influential and determining factor in growth sustainable urban development, which must be taken into account in the planning of the cities. This line of research is made up of different projects that contribute to generate and systematize knowledge in relation to sustainable and safe urban mobility and its link with the development of cities. In this sense, basic type investigations and applied, namely:

●    Logistics and Freight Transport Observatory of the Rosario Metropolitan Area;

●    Strategic planning for the sustainable development of intermediate cities from a regional vision, oriented to mobility;

●    Connected cities – Nearby territories;

●    Road Safety Observatory for the city of Rosario;

●    Projects and Actions for Sustainable Mobility;

 

Sustainable and safe mobility can be achieved through a long-term strategic vision that allows planning and prioritizing specific actions
that impact the territories, but there may also be cities that do not have this type of instrument; Therefore, the paradigm shift must arise from more limited and specific interventions. In this sense, it is feasible to build roadmaps, with different time horizons, that allow them to redirect the current situation towards a more sustainable mobility scheme in social, economic and environmental terms, improving the habitability of the territory. Each policy, strategy, action or roadmap analyzed and designed must be based on solid information that comes from current, safe and reliable data.

Considering these points of reference, added to the linking and extension work related to sustainable mobility carried out by the research team of the Institute for Transport Studies; It is intended to generate rigorous and situated knowledge, which contributes
to the sustainable development of cities and be a source of evidence for the decision-making of the related actors.
