Second EU Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans: all the presentations are now available
The Romanian capital of Bucharest played host to a diverse mix of urban mobility professionals at the 2nd European Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, which took place from 16–17 June 2015 at the University Politehnica of Bucharest.
The many ways in which urban mobility can be used to improve our lives, cities and economies was discussed, with the role of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) taking centre stage. This year’s edition saw more than 300 participants in attendance, up from 144 in 2014.
Recognising the unprecedented number of urban areas working on SUMPs, the conference explored the changing demands of urban mobility. Policy makers and academics from across Europe debated key issues, highlighting developments in mobility planning and examining how the SUMP concept can be adjusted to suit different geographic contexts and population densities.
The SUMP conference was organised by ENDURANCE and the European SUMP network (to which CIVITAS is part) and is an element of the European Platform on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.
