Ensure that all people have access to the services and activities they need while reducing the need for transport. In addition, access to quality and affordable public transport and safe spaces for walking and cycling is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of transport and mobility is to access destinations, activities, services and products. In other words, the goal of all transport is access, not travel itself. By achieving access without the need to travel, by means of more efficient modes, or with shorter journeys, we will succeed in significantly reducing the negative impact of transport.<\/p>\n

How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to improving the accessibility of a city, there are multiple measures at different levels, some of which are the subject of other solutions in this catalogue. We will focus here on general aspects of planning, but above all on solutions that are more specific, cheaper and achievable in the short term.<\/p>\n

In general, city planning should focus on the following five aspects in order to improve access:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Increasing density
\n\u2022 Increasing the diversity of land use, housing and transport options
\n\u2022 Design the city and its street network in such a way that it promotes the most efficient modes of transport.
\n\u2022 Increase accessibility to jobs or places of interest by reducing travel time or eliminating travel altogether.
\n\u2022 Decrease the distance to public transport.
\n\u2022 Plan public transport based on the recognition of the different needs of women related to their roles, needs and experiences, since, statistically, they are the ones who most frequently use this type of transport. Likewise, the design of infrastructures and vehicles must be done with a gender perspective.<\/p>\n

Most of these aspects are dealt with in other solutions, but here the emphasis will be on reducing the need for transport. The main goal must be to ensure that people have access to services and places of interest without having to travel. This can be achieved through relatively inexpensive measures that are easy to implement in the short term.<\/p>\n

Because most forced trips in a city are related to work, studies and sporting or leisure activities, this is where efforts must be concentrated. Any measure that reduces this type of regular travel will have a major impact. To this end, the following measures should be considered, with administrations being responsible for leading by example:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Promotion of telecommuting. Firstly, administrations should lead by example, offering the possibility of some work being carried out from home or from nearby places. In addition, public centres should be opened in which temporary cubicles can be reserved for those who do not have infrastructure at home. Each neighbourhood should be equipped with this type of facilities.
\n\u2022 Schools and, above all, kindergartens should be located in densely populated areas and not on the periphery of cities. Regulations should require that every neighbourhood or development, as well as large workplaces from a number of workers, have a nursery.
\n\u2022 Each neighbourhood should have sports facilities, libraries and other public facilities, so as to reduce the number of people travelling to them from distant areas.
\n\u2022 Require large work centres (>100 workers) to carry out a mobility study generated prior to obtaining a licence. This study will evaluate the impact of the work centre on the different transport networks in the city and propose measures to reduce it. In addition, it should study the mobility patterns of employees and propose measures to reduce trips or make them more efficient.
\n\u2022 Encourage the implementation of company mobility plans or personal mobility plans through exemptions in taxes or fees to companies that take these measures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Curitiba (Brazil). Densified and transit oriented city. Source: Google<\/em><\/p>\n
