Overview

Background & policy context:

Many regions in Europe, especially those with a long industrial history, have a high density of industries and employees in particular zones. In the majority of cases, these industrial estates were developed without public transport access. In order to reduce both the pollution caused by private car traffic and mortality rates from road accidents, a comprehensive transformation of transport models towards more sustainable mobility patterns is needed in industrial estates.

Objectives:

The aim of the project was to promote sustainable mobility in six industrial parks by establishing management mechanisms and through the active participation of the institutional, economic and social agents involved in these estates. Having identified the main mobility problems, a consensus would be sought amongst all stakeholders on the proposals made for sustainable mobility. Based on this, a management system for sustainable mobility would be set up, and awareness would be created to promote behavioural change by the workers and managers in industrial estates. The project would seek to transfer the management expertise gained to other industrial estates and areas. It was hoped that the project would lead, in the medium- and long-term, to reductions in primary energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, noise pollution and land ocupancy by transport infrastructure.
