12 A Strategic session at TRA Promoting health and environmental concerns while tallking about urban mobility French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy

13 3 The driving idea A Joint Strategic Seminar among the three organisations (ITF, TRA and THE-PEP) is proposed, to bridge the gap between the scientific, research and innovation community on the one hand, and strategies, measures and programmes of urban policymakers and planners on the other hand, while showcasing how transport needs are safeguarded while taking into account health and environmental concerns. Participants in the Seminar will discuss the challenges and opportunities of applying scientific and evidence-based research and policy instruments to meet the transport and mobility needs of large urban agglomerations and to embrace the notion of urban liveability as well as green and health-friendly patterns of work and livelihood. 14

14 3 Proposed thematic points New Mobility Needs: active mobility such as walking and cycling, use of inland (urban) waterways for people and cargo, multimodal hubs, accessibility for vulnerable groups, e.g. elderly, poor, children, and people with reduced mobility; How do we share space? And what are the innovative technologies to facilitate this? New Urbanism: more compact and dense cities, focus on urban spatial planning and the links between housing, zoning, transport and energy efficiency. The New Urbanism is linked to the dream of youth: how do they want to live in the cities of the future? New Links: policies and measures that support a seamless journey between active mobility and public transport which is safe, clean, accessible, affordable and attractive 15
