 Project objective

In order to ensure full compliance with EU policy objectives for climate, air quality and sustainable development integrated transport strategies are needed for Europe’s towns and cities. However, incorporating such schemes into broader urban planning strategies is challenging, and achieving stakeholder buy-in often means the difference between success and failure. The INTRANCES project engages key stakeholders (land use and transport planning experts and transport users) in integrated participatory modelling of land use and transport scenarios to help address EU policy goals. The aim of the project is to test the feasibility of different transport strategies, identify win-win solutions that simultaneously address multiple goals, and signal potential problems in implementation leading to recommendations for sustainable transport policy in Madrid and other cities across the EU. Building on the fellow’s previous experience in participatory land use modelling, and the host’s significant expertise in policy relevant transport research, INTRANCES develops an urban simulation model to output indicators for land use, transport and energy and emissions based on scenarios developed by key stakeholders. In addition to this knowledge exchange between host and fellow, the fellowship draws on the additional knowledge of key experts in air pollution modelling, urban planning, and integrated scenario modelling, including a 3-month secondment at a commercial consultancy in the Netherlands. This multi-way process of knowledge exchange is of high strategic value to the host and secondment partner and is expected to significantly enhance the fellow’s career prospects, both in academia and beyond. Its research objectives will lead to insights and recommendations for current and future efforts to implement sustainable transport across the EU.
