Overview
Background & policy context:
The research aimed at drawing lines of actions for public policies to foster sustainable mobility in and around Brussels. In so doing, it has translated in practical terms the abstract concept of sustainable development in the field of mobility.
Objectives:
The project developed a panoply of legal mechanisms that could help institute what could be qualified as 'sustainable' mobility in and around Brussels, in the following fields:
- tax policies
- public transport policies
- land planning.
Given their trans-regional perspective, these remedies can give priority to mechanisms of cooperation and dialogue among the various powers concerned.
Methodology:
For each of the research fields (tax policies, public transport policies, land planning), the methodology can be summarized as follows:
- inventory and study of the existing knowledge in the various research fields;
- thorough study of the competences and fields of action of each relevant authority;
- drafting of proposals about measures that could be adopted by each of the relevant authorities to promote sustainable mobility;
- study of the legal mechanisms available to coordinate the relevant authorities' actions;
- drafting of proposals to improve or step up the coordination and consultation mechanisms between the relevant authorities, to promote sustainable mobility.
