Mobility Talks 33: Digital twins for better mobility
Digital twins have recently emerged as a powerful tool for cities seeking to plan, manage, and optimise mobility systems in an increasingly complex and data-rich environment. By creating dynamic digital representations of urban mobility systems, cities can test scenarios, simulate policy impacts, and make better-informed decisions. However, the usefulness and accuracy of simulations provided by digital twins depend on […]

A two-day roundtable (23-24 October) in London gathered city authorities, transport agencies, researchers and technology providers from across Europe to tackle non-exhaust emissions (NEE) from road transport. Participants included representatives from EIT Urban Mobility, C40, Transport for London, the Greater London Authority, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Munich and Flanders, together with Imperial College London and innovators […]
Mobility Talks 32: The role of urban-suburban rail connectivity in supporting equitable access
In today’s European cities, urban-suburban connections are key to ensure regional accessibility and act as a driver of growth. From a mobility perspective, these important daily flows of commuters come with challenges that urban mobility systems need to master. While the balance between urban development and the deployment of sustainable mobility options is crucial, in […]
EU competitiveness and public-private partnerships take centre stage in Vilnius
Discussions at the Transport Innovation Forum 2025 revolved around how local mobility innovation ecosystems and public-private partnerships contribute to the EU’s competitiveness in times of geopolitical challenges. The forum took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 15 and 16 October 2025. It brought together hundreds of private and public sector representatives to discuss evolving trends and […]
Mastering mobility with car-free days
Car-free days are deliberately scheduled interruptions of private motor traffic, typically lasting for a full day. During these events, streets or entire districts are cleared of cars and reclaimed for walking, cycling, public transport and community life. The result is an immediate transformation: quieter streets, cleaner air and space for people to enjoy, rather than […]
PLANOVA
PLANOVA addresses a challenge that Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) faces in the development of its new master plan across 36 towns and cities: fragmented, outdated transport planning tools. The traditional tools are laborious, expensive, opaque and require deep expertise, which limits broader participation. PLANOVA offers a digital twin that integrates heterogeneous mobility data into one […]

Mastering mobility with mobility justice
How people move through their cities, or are prevented from freely moving, may seem like a commonplace infrastructural issue but at the core of the issue lies fairness, power and opportunity. Transportation systems reflect decades of decisions informed by political parties and movements, patterns of exclusion and reinforcement of power structures. Mobility justice asserts that […]

Mobility Talks 29: Efficient public space management for better mobility systems
The growing urban population in Europe means that competition for public space management in cities is increasing. At the same time, existing mobility solutions and new mobility services put even more pressure on streets, sidewalks, and parking spaces. This is true for passenger mobility but also for the movement of goods in urban areas. The […]

Mastering mobility with child-friendly mobility planning
As cities across Europe grow and populations flock to urban areas, inclusive urban planning becomes a requirement. Public spaces, transport systems, streets and sidewalks must be accessible not just to the able-bodied adult majority, but to the entire community, including our youngest residents. Children, often overlooked in planning decisions, experience cities in unique ways, but […]
