| Summary: | |
|
The 15minESTATES project looks at the nexus of (1) urban space, (2) transport options, and (3) people's needs and capacities as key dimensions for sustainable mobility transitions. With a specific focus on large-scale housing estates (LHEs), a complex urban setting that houses large numbers of inhabitants all over Europe, the project aims to co-create locally adapted and accepted spatial strategies and interventions for just and sustainable mobility. |
|
| Activities: | |
| The specific objectives of the 15minESTATES project are: (1) to adapt and reframe the 15-minute City concept for the specific context of LHEs; (2) to build a comprehensive knowledge base on the existing urban structures, public spaces, their quality, amenities, and transport infrastructure in LHEs; (3) to explore the mobility needs, perceptions, and behavior of different user groups in LHEs; (4) to identify specific challenges and co-create spatial strategies and interventions in public spaces to facilitate the transition toward sustainable mobility in LHEs; (5) to synthesize case-specific results and propose design principles and approaches for transforming public spaces in LHEs to enable results' transferability to other countries. The project will employ a comparative case study approach, focusing on five LHEs in Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, and Latvia. | |
