In 1993 Prince Charles laid the founding stones for the 400-acre Poundbury development at Dorchester. This new “urban village” eschews modernist planning principles and auto-dependent suburban housing in favor of a diverse, walkable mixed-use traditional model. Now half complete, it is possible to evaluate how well the original goals are being achieved.

The concept of urban mobility is built on the idea that movement in town is not only a technical issue but also a social issue that has to deal with urban practice, spatial behaviour, and relation to the environment. Urban mobility invites cities stakeholders to enlarge their vision of urban transportation to a more systemic and global approach: movement in town cannot be understand without taking into account the technical conditions of moving (urban transportation), the organization of activities (urban structure), the daily practice of inhabitants and visitors (urban society), the quality of space (urban landscape) and the measures taken by decision-makers to shape the city (urban policy). More than a concept, urban mobility is a framework, meaning a basis to build new relations between people and space, and to propose more services to the inhabitants. The first two days of the workshop was by invitation only, and the following seminar open to the public, are part of the program of the World Mobility Week. The workshop focused on the case of Lisbon to discuss and design a project redefining mobility in a complex topographic environment. Technical solutions are many, ranging from surface equipment or air system to mixed solutions (stairs, ramps, passages, lifts, funicular), etc. Presentations are available online.

The European Commission’s NAIADES action programme adopted in 2006 aimed to bolster the advantages of inland waterway transport and tackle a number of obstacles that could prevent it from being used to its full potential. In view of the opportunities and challenges that the sector is facing, the Commission has decided to update and renew the NAIADES programme until 2020, and to align it with the Transport White Paper. The NAIADES II programme focuses on making long-term structural changes in the inland waterway transport sector, to enable it to contribute fully to the Europe 2020 strategy, which aims at smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. For this to happen, the quality of the sector’s operating conditions should be improved, including infrastructure, environmental performance, markets and innovation, jobs and skills and integration into the logistics chain.
