- With a continued global urbanisation trend and increasing demand for transportation with consequences interms of, for example, congestion, emissions, and noise, urban mobility is a major challenge for the future.Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) has been argued as part of the solution by contributing to reducing the use ofprivate cars and increasing the use of public transport and ride sharing services: “MaaS has the potentialto fundamentally change the behaviour of people in and beyond cities, hence it is regarded as the biggestparadigm change in transport since affordable cars came into the market” (maas-alliance.eu). However,even though a number of initiatives have been taken, including pilots which have shown positive outcomes(see e.g., Karlsson et al., 2016), the implementation of MaaS has been slow.Different sources refer to different challenges. The purpose of the project ‘Institutional Frameworks forIntegrated Mobility Services in Future Cities’ (IRIMS) is to determine how, and to what extent, existinginstitutional factors affect the further development of MaaS. The project aims to provide suggestions for howinstitutions can be modified to enable the implementation of MaaS to contribute to sustainable mobility. Thispaper presents part of the work: a tentative framework, intended to support the analysis of the institutionalfactors that facilitate or create barriers to the further development and dissemination of MaaS (see alsoMukhtar-Landgren et al., 2016).

Car free urban districts – Interactions between measures, implementation and experience
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cities and car traffic does not always fit well together. Apart from the well-knownenvironmental problems associated with traffic congestion (e.g. air pollution and noise,climate change and global warming), there are also negative local effects in the form ofincreased risk of traffic accidents, abuse of key resources (energy and time), gender issues interms of accessibility, security and power over public space and mobility patterns, financiallosses and lost space due to increasing car traffic and the need for available parking spaces(e.g. Sheller & Urry, 2000; Berger et al., 2014; Halling et al., 2016). These problems cansignificantly reduce the cities' attractiveness for residents and temporary visitors.Furthermore, an increase in car traffic has proved to be negative for place related functionssuch as meeting places, or just places to visit or stay at, and for public health because of thereduced opportunities to perform physical and social activities such as walking and cycling(Lee, & Buncher, 2008). In order to effectively manage the present traffic overload, publicadministrations and transport authorities must have a comprehensive understanding of thelocal context, including the mobility needs of travelers and residents. One of the startingpoints for this three-year research project on planning and implementation of car-free districtshas been to perform an interdisciplinary literature review, in which literature that triangulatescar-free urban planning measures, concrete neighborhood interventions and quality of lifeparameters is scrutinized. The intention has been to find out the state of art regarding theinteraction between measures, actual implementation and users’ experience of car freedistricts. The results so far suggests that there is a lack of research addressing the interactionof the three variables, suggesting the need for more empirical studies that accounts for all these different levels of environmental interactions from macro to micro (i.e. policy to finalusers of place).
