Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Experiences show that urban mobility based on fossil fuels is not the way forward and cities that have prioritised private automobile mobility in their planning have turned out to be disadvantageous for people from a health, safety, and economic perspectives. It has been proven that building automobile friendly infrastructure will not solve the traffic challenges in cities. The development of sustainable urban transport systems requires a conceptual leap and paradigm shift. In this context, Eco-Mobility is a new application practice that covers all the policies and principles of sustainable transportation and as such, it is developed for the application of this transportation concept. The EcoMobility SHIFT’s 20 indicators will be used for measuring the sustainability and ecomobility level of our study case, Bozcaada Island, Turkey, thus by raising awareness of the existence of an instrument for assessing the level of EcoMobility of cities, it finally aims to prepare them for a transition towards sustaianable and eco-friendly ones.
