Abstract

The chapter delves into the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), introduced in 2009 and formalized in 2013, which aims to improve urban mobility by integrating various transport modes. It discusses the SUMP cycle and its eight guiding principles, emphasizing the need for capacity building to bridge the gap between the concept and practical implementation. The text explores learning mechanisms such as expert information provision, peer-to-peer learning, and the development of business cases, highlighting the importance of networking and community building. It also addresses the challenges of overcoming outdated planning paradigms and the need for continuous capacity building to stay updated with emerging topics in sustainable urban mobility.
