Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans is a new planning approach. Traditional traffic and environment plans have primarily focused on transport, traffic flows and planning for cars. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans introduce a wider and more sustainable approach for traffic planning where people and mobility is in the core.
