Utrecht (Netherlands)

The city of Utrecht aims to develop as a healthy and liveable city in which housing, employment, green spaces, and urban facilities are closely integrated. Over the next 20 years, the city plans to create thousands of homes and jobs while maintaining a balance with amenities and climate resilience. Population growth and increased visitation place pressure on limited space, which is primarily reserved for living, recreation, and greenery.

Utrecht prioritizes clean, space-efficient transport modes such as walking, cycling, public transport, and shared mobility. The objective is to ensure that essential facilities are accessible within 10 minutes. These goals are outlined in the Mobility Plan 2040, adopted by the city council in July 2021. The approach is based on smart zoning, travel behavior change, network improvements, parking management, and traffic steering, with an emphasis on inclusive accessibility.
