EUROPEAN PROJECT
Urban Lab is partner of HARMONY – Holistic Approach for Providing Spatial & Transport Planning Tools and Evidence to Metropolitan and Regional Authorities to Lead a Sustainable Transition to a New Mobility Era, a Horizon 2020 funded project aiming at supporting metropolitan authorities in the transition towards a new type of urban mobility, more sustainable and suitable to the citizens’ needs. The project partners, including 5 European cities and regions (Athens, Rotterdam, Torino, Trikala, Oxfordshire, Upper Silesian-Zaglebie), intend to develop and test new tools for transport planning, addressing both people and freight transport, also through the use of innovative instruments such as drones and autonomous vehicles.
Urban Lab organizes the co-creation labs to involve the local stakeholders in the project activities, and participates in the drafting of policy recommendations for the European decision–makers in order to improve the SUMPs (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans) based on the project results.
