Mobility
Sustainable urban mobility plans and the overall layout of a city are key factors in how citizens and goods move around. Local authorities all over Europe are designing schemes that give priority to low-emission transport. Energy Cities also foster integration across mobility modes and, with an increase in e-vehicles, an integration between sectors.

Sustainable Mobility for Citizens in Europe
Efficient and effective urban mobility can significantly contribute to achieving sustainable economic growth and employment opportunities in our cities. It is of huge importance to achieving the EU 2020 objectives as 70% of the EU population live in cities and account for over 80% of the EU’s GDP. Moreover, in many urban areas, the increasing demand for urban mobility has created a non-sustainable environment with severe congestion, poor air quality and high levels of CO2 emissions.
