Sustainable Mobility Paradigm

The document discusses the sustainable mobility paradigm proposed by Banister which aims to reduce the need to travel through substitution with information and communication technologies, encourage modal shifts through transportation policies, reduce distances through land use policies, and increase efficiency with technological innovations. It emphasizes that public acceptability is key to successfully implementing changes to support more sustainable mobility. The paradigm principles involve making best use of technology, implementing regulations and pricing, influencing land development, and providing clearly targeted personal information.

The Sustainable Mobility

Paradigm
Banister, D., (2007). The sustainable
mobility paradigm. Transport Policy.
November, 15, p. 73-80.

What is Sustainable
Mobility?
Combining several means of
transport during the same journey,
using different types of vehicles with
the objective to make journey
smoother while reducing trafc
congestion and carbon
footprint (FLAME, 2013).
About the article
In this article the authors purpose is to examines the alternative paradigm in
future planning concept for sustainable mobility with its complexity of cities by
exploring exibility of the existing paradigm of travel on conventional transport
planning associated with theories and policy measures.
Assumptions/Arguments
Two Dilemmas
Transport as a derived demand
or as a valued activity?
- Changes of travel patterns; from work
journey travel to leisure-based travel.
- Escape theory; willingness to do
something completely different from daily
basis.
- New Technology; mobile working -
online based activities that can be done
from home
Time minimisation and
reasonable travel time
- Contradiction between the desire to
speed up and the desire to slow the
trafc down; safety rst or business
money?
- Shifting objectives; reasonable travel
time rather than travel time minimisation.
Evidence of the arguments
Contrasting approaches
to transport planning
Reducing the need to travel -
substitution to ICT
Transport policy measures -
modal shift
Land-use policy measures -
distance reduction
Technological innovation -
efciency increase
Evaluation
- What is ICT? new technologies? which technology?
- Measuring transport policy, land-use policy; no
policy?
- Confusing conclusion, Public acceptability is core to
successful implementation of radical change... -- isnt
that supposed to be in the next part?
Involving the people

Public acceptability

Healthy transport

Demonstration effects

Individual marketing
A small initial change, if sufciently well
supported and publicised, can lead to a
new attitudes to the car (Banister, 2007).
Evaluation
- Poor data collection methods; ..surveys of public
opinions in the EU are indicating that change is
essential and that action is expected. -- which
surveys?
- for example, every school in the UK will have their
own School Travel Plan by 2010. -- who say this?
- it has been developed and applied in several EU and
Australian cities...(see Curtis, this volume) -- Curtis
who? Which volume?
Principles of the sustainable
mobility paradigm
!Making the best use of the
technology
!Regulation and pricing
!Land-use development
!Clearly targeted personal
information
Evaluation
- Clear explanation given on each suggestions as well
as supporting the previous two elements.
World review on The Sustainable Mobility Paradigm
Effective implementation of sustainable mobility requires the engagement of key stakeholders -
people, community, land owner, practitioner, government, etc - in order to understand different
policy initiatives and support their introduction.
Successful paradigm?
!The paper conrms the importance of understanding the community behaviour as well as
cooperation and support towards sustainable mobility will creates a real change in the publics
paradigm. However, there is no doubt that public acceptability is the major inuence in sustainable
mobility paradigm for such concept to be succeed in the future sustainable cities planning.
