Summary

Urban expansion often brings challenges to social inclusion while ensuring economic viability. This challenge arises when new development pressures residents to switch away from traditional transport options. A key question is how to balance the need for more active travel and shared mobility. If this goal is met, it should remain socially inclusive and accessible to every European citizen.

Cities face the dilemma of how to integrate active and shared mobility into dense urban environments without creating new social divides or economic barriers. The strategy must address both the technical aspects of public transport and the human needs of people who depend on it. As European cities continue to densify, the question is no longer simply about increasing the volume of these services.

It must also be how to do so in a way that remains socially inclusive, economically viable and accessible to all. The solution lies in ensuring that new developments support existing modes of travel while creating new opportunities that remain accessible to every resident. This approach allows for sustainable growth while maintaining the core principles of social equity and economic stability.
