Introduction According to the Ele.C.Tra. Project proposal and the 2.1 and 2.2 subtasks objectives, the deliverable D.2.1 named “Report on Actual mobility and network” represents the main result of the whole WP2 “Ante -operam analysis”. This deliverable refers to the city of LISBON. In this light, D.2.1 Lisbon report highlights: · demand mobility flows, based on desk research and on surveys to residents and tourists conducted in Lisbon, in the scope of the project: o identification of attractor places (schools, commercial districts…) and the main elements about day trips, trip hours, transport means and mobility reasons, in order to acquire a specific and technical starting point for the model, contextualization and experimentations, considering the Ele.C.Tra project objectives; o systematisation of the main local planning documents; o identification of main elements about the current scooters mobility; o outlining of predisposition for the e-scooters use by the current traditional scooters users and for those not using scooters (mainly car users); o summarising of information about issues perceived or identified by citizens, as well as opinions concerning electric and sustainable mobility; · infrastructural and service network, based on desk research: o to identify the main infrastructural bottlenecks in the road network in Lisbon, paying attention to the parking and interchange nodes situation in the urban area, that are more suitable for scooters; o To systematize the main characteristics of the local public transport service in the main interchange nodes. 6 Ele ctric City Tra nsport – Ele.C.Tra. 2. A Brief History of Transportation in LISBON Lisbon, the city of seven hills, was founded by the Greek Ulysses during one of his trips around the world. This is a legend and probably the city was really founded by the Phoenicians that gave the city his first name, Olisipo, that means “safe seaport”, because of the peacefully estuary that brings to Lisbon his unique beauty and calm. Through the years Lisbon was always very cosmopolite, a place where people of all races visited and traded all kind of things, mainly in the times of renaissance, when the city was the capital of an Empire that spread Portuguese culture all over the world. Lisbon resisted to all his conquerors along the history, Phoenicians , Muslims, Visigoths, Romans and others, but their presence is visible in the city, including in the urban aspects. The great earthquake of 1755 followed by a fire and a tsunami destroyed the main part of the downtown area and gave an opportunity to rebuild it, with wide streets and in a more planned way. Following a continuous evolution (especially in th e 70’s decade of the 20 century, when people from the old colonies returned to Portugal) the traffic in Lisbon increased significantly, creating mobility problems. Although, in the last two decades a lot of transport infrastructures were build (the internal and external high capacity road-rings were completed, the metro had very important extensions, ticket contactless system were implemented in most of the public transports) and mobility in Lisbon acquired a very high quality. Lisbon is a melting pot of a wide range of people, culture, places and history. Even transports have a wide range too, as the city and his metropolitan area offers several modes of transportation, based on a modern transport system. Car, train, metro, bus, airplane, boat, scooter, bike and, of course, feet are the modes that we can use to access and to circulate in this charming city. The most recent census data (2011) shows that a significant part of people that works/studies in Lisbon uses a private car on his most common trips (47.7% for workers and students living in Lisbon and 48.5% for workers and student living in the Great Lisbon Area). 7 Ele ctric City Tra nsport – Ele.C.Tra.
