Knowledge & Data

Urbanism & UITP

How cities are designed defines how we move within them – and how public transport operates. Mobility networks give structure to urban spaces and daily life, influencing infrastructure, sustainable development, and community.

A well-integrated system creates walkable neighbourhoods, reduces congestion, strengthens social inclusion, and minimises car dependency. Ultimately, this cuts both traffic and air pollution.

At UITP, we gather global experts to develop strategies that align transport and urban policies, promoting models of sustainable mobility. Working together, we can tackle our shared challenges, from the environment to social inclusion, governance, and unlocking innovation.
