An important and challenging trend in today's urban development projects is the transition to more sustainable travel and transportation, both in new residential areas and existing neighborhoods. This often involves transitioning to permit parking with reduced parking spaces, introducing various shared mobility services, and better-coordinated freight transport, which strongly justifies consolidating the mobility functions of entire areas in mobility houses or hubs. However, achieving high utilization of mobility services has proven to be challenging, while many parking facilities have low occupancy rates with weak willingness to pay.

Mobility houses must simultaneously interact with central societal nodes, contribute to climate benefits, be safe and secure, multifunctional, and support various types of activities, etc. This requires business development and a good understanding of how new solutions/facilities can support citizens' everyday lives.
