As society strives to tackle the challenges of global population growth, increasing urbanisation, continuous transportation emissions and climate change, the ongoing development of sustainable urban mobility is of critical importance. Putting sustainable mobility at the forefront of the discussions and debates not only can tackle these challenges but also provide an opportunity to enable communities to have a stronger voice, ensuring the development of more liveable places, improved active travel, i.e. walking, cycling, increasing the use of public transport, and overall improving citizens’ health, well-being, and quality of life. Achieving these will have a direct consequence of reducing level of social isolation, allowing for more efficient movement, facilitating access to education and employment opportunities, and enabling economic growth. Moving towards the implementation of sustainable urban mobility, and understanding and assessing its impact, can successfully be achieved through effective planning and collaboration. According to the European Commission, this planning and collaboration can be undertaken through the application of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and these are considered essential urban land use and transport planning tools for urban areas that are looking to move towards more sustainable and citizen-centric mobility. This paper will consider the importance of sustainable urban mobility regarding implementation and impact within an ever changing and evolving urban society and the importance of citizen collaboration.
