CoMobility: Co-designing Inclusive Mobility

WHAT IF PEOPLE VALUED GETTING AROUND TOWN EFFICIENTLY, SAFELY AND ECOLOGICALLY MORE THAN HAVING THEIR OWN CAR?

A transdisciplinary team of scientists from three Warsaw universities (UW, PW and SGH), physicists (NILU), anthropologists (FNI) from Norway and members of the Warsaw NGO „On the spot”, as well as representatives of the cities of Lublin, Warsaw, Krakow and the Association of Polish Cities, will discuss the answer to this question.

Aims

CoMobility is a transdisciplinary international research project. Its aim is to analyse attitudes and behaviours related to mobility, in particular services that are an alternative to the private car. In the process of co-design, the research team will identify barriers and opportunities to the uptake of different modes of transport and develop actions that will facilitate sustainable change in transport mode habits.

At the heart of CoMobility is the co-design process, i.e. researching, testing and implementing solutions in close cooperation with citizens, municipalities, businesses and other stakeholders at every stage of the work.

Planned activities

Together with local communities, businesses and officials, climate-neutral solutions will be co-created. The team will share local, Warsaw-based experiences and research results with local governments and other cities in Poland and Europe.

The CoMobility project has received €2.05 million in funding from the EEA, the aim of which is to provide a package of tools and methods for the co-creation of sustainable mobility in urban areas. The EEA Funds represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to creating a green, competitive and inclusive Europe. There are two general objectives: to reduce economic and social inequalities in Europe and to strengthen bilateral relations between donor countries and the 15 EU countries of Central and Southern Europe and the Baltic Sea area.
