Sustainable mobility for all cities.

Through interdisciplinary collaborations and cutting-edge research, we strive to address the environmental, social, and economic challenges associated with traditional mobility systems. We aim to promote and facilitate the development of innovative and sustainable transportation solutions. Our goal is to create more efficient, equitable, and sustainable mobility solutions.

The ABC of mobility

To quantify the motorisation of urban mobility, we model the number of kilometres travelled by different modes of transport in a city by aggregating active mobility, public transport and cars.

Active mobility
travel by walking, cycling, skating and others.
Public transport
travel by bus, BRT, Metro, Tram and other shared systems.
Private cars
travel by driving, including taxis and mobility apps.

Cities Morphology

The size and shape of cities matter. They affect the travel distances of its city inhabitants, the total energy consumption of a city, and the area a city consumes. Cities Morphology lets you construct towns and cities based on basic variables like elongation, sprawl, and the city profile and illustrates the effects on travel distance, energy consumption, and area.

About

We are a multidisciplinary research group. Our aim is to understand mobility patterns in cities, promote sustainable modes, such as walking and cycling, and reduce car dependency in cities.
