Towards Urban Mobility Transitions
- Tiina Männistö-Funk (University of Turku)
Infrastructures are an important determinant on how the challenges of the climate crisis can be met. Mobilities with their large ecological (and social) impact in particular highly depend on various infrastructures from roads and train tracks to trans-atlantic fibre optic cables - these provide the material arrangements on which the performance of mobility practices depends.

In view of the fact that car parks have a useful life of 40 years, many cities are faced with the decision of what the mobility centres of the future will look like in view of the mobility transformation. With the increasing heterogeneity of mobility demand (e.g. multimodality, e-bike boom, "sharing" services), ever shorter innovation cycles in vehicle technology (e.g. electromobility or...
The paper presents the methodological approach to map, describe und better understand urban mobility pathways towards sustainability with a focus on urban modal shift. The approach is developed to better understand “why” (success mechanisms) and “how” (dynamics) the three German case study cities Bremen, Karlsruhe and Leipzig have developed into frontrunner cities for sustainable urban...
