By providing an A Handbook on Sustainable Urban Mobility and Spatial Planning • Promoting active mobility A Handbook on Sustainable Urban Mobility • Promoting Planning and Spatial intersectoral and intergovernmental policy framework, THE PEP promotes mobility and A Handbook on Sustainable Urban Mobility and Spatial Planning Promoting active mobility transport strategies that integrate environmental and health concerns. Over the years, THE PEP has led to the development of implementation mechanisms to support the work of member States. This publication has been designed to assist member States in integrating transport, health, quality of life and environmental objectives into urban and spatial planning policies. It provides many references to case studies, good practices and examples from cities across the Euro-Asian region (and beyond) covering a wide array of thematics areas, including: the future of sustainable urban mobility; spatial planning in function of sustainable urban mobility and accessibility; public transport planning as a cornerstone of sustainable urban mobility; active mobility and how it promotes health and the environment; and the potential of Intelligent Transport Systems in an urban context. The publication puts forward a methodology for sustainable urban transport planning and introduces a concise set of key messages and recommendations as an input to the Fifth High-level Meeting on Transport, Health and Environment which takes place in Vienna from 26-27 November 2020.

ECE/TRANS/298 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION eISBN: 978-92-1-004859-0 A Handbook on Sustainable Urban Mobility and Spatial Planning - Promoting Active Mobility iii UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE (UNECE) The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is one of the five United Nations regional commissions, administered by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established in 1947 with the mandate to help rebuild post-war Europe, develop economic activity and strengthen economic relations among European countries, and between Europe and the rest of the world. During the Cold War, UNECE served as a unique forum for economic dialogue and cooperation between East and West. Despite the complexity of this period, significant achievements were made, with consensus reached on numerous harmonization and standardization agreements. In the post-Cold War era, UNECE acquired not only many new member States, but also new functions. Since the early 1990s the organization has focused on analyses of the transition process, using its harmonization experience to facilitate the integration of central and eastern European countries into global markets. UNECE is the forum where the countries of western, central and eastern Europe, Central Asia and North America – 56 countries in all – come together to forge the tools of their cooperation. That cooperation concerns economic cooperation and integration, statistics, environment, transport, trade, sustainable energy, forestry and timber, housing and land management and population. The Commission offers a regional framework for the elaboration and harmonization of conventions, norms and standards. The Commission’s experts provide technical assistance to the countries of South-East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. This assistance takes the form of advisory services, training seminars and workshops where countries can share their experiences and best practices. iv A Handbook on Sustainable Urban Mobility and Spatial – Planning Promoting Active Mobility TRANSPORT IN UNECE The UNECE Sustainable Transport Division is the secretariat of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) and the ECOSOC Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The ITC and its 17 working parties, as well as the ECOSOC Committee and its sub-committees are intergovernmental decision-making bodies that work to improve the daily lives of people and businesses around the world, in measurable ways and with concrete actions, to enhance traffic safety, environmental performance, energy efficiency and the competitiveness of the transport sector. The ECOSOC Committee was set up in 1953 by the Secretary-General of the United Nations at the request of the Economic and Social Council to elaborate recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods. Its mandate was extended to the global (multi-sectoral) harmonization of systems of classification and labelling of chemicals in 1999. It is composed of experts from countries which possess the relevant expertise and experience in the international trade and transport of dangerous goods and chemicals. Its membership is restricted to reflect a proper geographical balance between all regions of the world and to ensure adequate participation of developing countries. Although the Committee is a subsidiary body of ECOSOC, the Secretary-General decided in 1963 that the secretariat services would be provided by the UNECE Transport Division. ITC is a unique intergovernmental forum that was set up in 1947 to support the reconstruction of transport connections in post-war Europe. Over the years, it has specialized in facilitating the harmonized and sustainable development of inland modes of transport. The main results of this persevering and ongoing work are reflected, among other things, (i) in 58 United Nations conventions and many more technical regulations, which are updated on a regular basis and provide an international legal framework for the sustainable development of national and international road, rail, inland water and intermodal transport, including the transport of dangerous goods, as well as the construction and inspection of road motor vehicles; (ii) in the Trans-European North-south Motorway, Trans-European Railway and the Euro-Asia Transport Links projects, that facilitate multi-country

HP SHIPYARDS / HP BUS STOP - SUNRISE An eight-year-old African-American girl with knockers in her hair stands on a desolate sidewalk behind yellow caution tape. She licks a candy and gazes upwards – spellbound. A man in a hazmat suit glides along the pavement, Darth Vader breaths heaving from his space-mask. He loads pieces of trash and plants into hazardous waste bags. In the distance, more men in hazmats crawl along a decaying dock, collecting various items. The little girl breaks her gaze and begins down the street, running her hand along the caution tape. A voice appears. PREACHER (O.S.) Why they got suits on and we don't? Something is going on right in front of our face. But you stuck on your i-phone, j-phone 12, whatever. Blow up in your hand! You cant Google whats goin’ on right now. They lucky I’m a man of god now.

  • What Does Active Mobility Mean for Health? Lessons from Health Impact Assessment
    What does active mobility mean for health? Lessons from health impact assessment Linking active Mobility & Health Linking active mobility and health is the key issue of the “Physical Activity Through Sustainable Transport Approaches” (PASTA) project. Those who decide to opt for active modes of transport are believed to be overall more physically active than those relying on motorized private transport. Active Mobility (walking, cycling and the use of public transport) is thought to have multiple implications for health by changing the exposure to certain health determinants like: physical activity, traffic incidents, air pollution, noise, social interaction, crime, besides others, are related to active mobility. Changes in exposure levels of health determinants will most likely result in changes in associated health outcomes like: subclinical changes, signs and symptoms, specific diseases, injuries, and disabilities, quality of life, life expectancy, and premature mortality. Table 1: Example of some health outcomes associated with active mobility Active mobility – health determinants and outcomes Physical activity Air pollution Noise Green spaces Social interaction Cardiovascular Cardiovascular Cardiovascular Cardiovascular Cardiovascular disease disease disease disease disease Respiratory Respiratory Respiratory Respiratory Sleep distubance diseases diseases diseases diseases Cancer Cancer Annoyance Mental health Mental health Life expectancy Life expectancy Life expectancy Life expectancy Life expectancy Quality of life Quality of life Quality of life Quality of life Quality of life This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research; technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 602624-2. Benefits one translates into benefits for all! The uptake of active mobility impacts not only the health determinants of individual travelers who decide to walk, cycle or use public transport, but also for society as a whole.

  • Cycling to Work: Not Only a Utilitarian Movement but Also an Embodiment of Meanings and Experiences That Constitute Crucial
    Conclusion This research analysed the different facets of utility cycling in Switzerland, using the example of commuting. We took as our starting point the concept of the cycling system, or velomobility, which underlines the importance of taking into account all elements—not only material and technical but also social, political and symbolic— which influence this practice. From this perspective, we argued that cycling—in terms of volume, frequency, distance, motivation, etc.—depends on the coming together of two potentials. The first of these is motility [11–13] or, more precisely, the indi- viduals’ cycling potential. It is built around access (‘to be able to’ use a means of transport), skills ((‘to know how to’ cycle for utility reasons) and appropriation (‘to want to’ cycle). Individuals’ appropriation of cycling depends on their perception of that mode and of its particularities, which can be interpreted as a confluence of three fundamental dimensions of mobility: movement, meaning and experience in a context of power in regards to the dominant system of automobility [6]. The second of the two potentials is the territory’s hosting potential, or its degree of bikeability, which relates to the spatial context, the available infrastructure and amenities (bicycle urbanism), as well as social and legal norms and rules. In order to identify a large sample of bicycle commuters, we focused on the bike to work scheme, which each year brings together people who commit to cycling to their place of work as often as possible during the months of May and/or June. Nearly 14,000 people completed an online questionnaire addressing the dimensions of velomobility.
