ICLEI enables mobility planning authorities across Europe to embrace sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP) as the European-wide strategic planning approach, especially in countries where the take-up is low and the negative effects of transport are severe. The project also improves urban transport efficiency while effectively mitigating the negative effects of transport and enhancing the attractiveness of Europe’s urban centers through a strategic planning approach based on integration, participation and evaluation principles, one that broadly implements sustainable urban mobility policies and measures. The project analyzes and verifies specific adoption needs for SUMPs in European local authorities in order to identify the most effective tools for SUMP development and actively support their adoption in various types of cities.

ICLEI develops and showcases an integrated and comprehensive approach to address urban transport issues and promote sustainable built environment and urban mobility strategies. The project supports four Indian Smart Cities (Gwalior, Ludhiana , Udaipur and Visakhapatnam) by building the local government’s capacity by providing technical advisory to develop smart built environment action plans that focus on smart urban mobility and smart buildings which can feed into ongoing efforts of smart city missions. The deliverables of the project include assessment of existing urban transport scenario in the identified cities for each state and provide support for implementation of smart mobility projects.

We engage in the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) to advance sustainable urban mobility in developing countries and emerging economies with a special focus on cities in Africa by city-to-city exchange, business to government dialogues, webinar and workshops.
