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.
