Better Urban Mobility Playbook

Cities are the epicentre for innovation, economic growth, and social wellbeing. Successful cities are those with high interactions, where people have an easy access to basic services, jobs, schools, leisure activities and businesses. Moving towards sustainable cities is a huge collective effort that can only be achieved with strong political leadership and courage.

This playbook is an update of the UITP publication “Better Mobility in Urban Areas”, published 20 years ago. It highlights the various challenges cities are facing and offers solutions with concrete steps that can be applied to redeveloping more sustainable liveable, healthy and inclusive cities.

Progress is being made, but changes are not happening fast enough to achieve international climate agreements. This playbook offers a useful tool to support cities in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals with clear guidance on better urban mobility.
