By comparing the situations of Lugano, Lucerne and Chur, it should be possible to identify good practices in urban transport planning and discover areas where improvement is needed. To conclude, all three cities under consideration are moving in the right direction when it comes to sustainable transport and mobility management. However, further effort is required to reach the important stages on the way to this worthwhile goal.
