How to keep cities accessible and livable?
Over the past decades, cars became highly attractive modes of transport because of their low perceived marginal cost and high comfort. In many cities, however, the road transport system has reached the limits of what is physically possible in terms of usage of space, and socially desirable in terms of externalities. In this session, the Municipality of Rotterdam, TNO, Arcadis and TU Delft give an overview of interventions that cities worldwide have taken to shift to more sustainable modes, including success and failure factors and expected impacts. The session ends with a plenary discussion on future research and implementation steps.

Jyotsna Singh, TU Delft Jyotsna Singh is a PhD researcher focussing on Integrated Transport Networks. Her research is part of the XCARCITY research program. Jyotsna obtained her MSc. in Transport Infrastructure and Logistics from TU Delft. Her PhD majorly revolves around developing a multimodal multi-objective optimisation model which would provide optimal solutions that would link low car areas with existing transport networks. |
