State-of-the-art sustainable urban mobility developments both in Europe and Japan

In Europe, cities of all sizes are transforming urban spaces and expanding mobility options to enhance sustainability and improve quality of life. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), initially published in 2013 and updated in 2019 by the EU, serves as a framework for these initiatives. The book begins by exploring the latest advancements in sustainable urban mobility across Europe and Japan. It then revisits the concept of sustainability in the context of transport and mobility, summarizing the key principles of SUMP. Additionally, it addresses current challenges and potential improvements in Japanese transport policy, proposing strategies for a sustainable future in Japan.
