The European Commission has officially launched the enhanced Eltis website, Europe’s main observatory on urban mobility. The new Eltis has been re-designed and developed to make searching for and gathering valuable urban mobility tools and resources easier than before. The editorial content is being transformed; new case studies are being produced to a high standard, expertly written and focused on actions, results and what lessons can be learned for other cities. Plans for an overhaul and update of existing case studies are also underway. Eltis has also integrated the content from the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans website (formerly MobilityPlans.eu), including it in a new Mobility Plans section. This new section provides in-depth information on how to develop and implement mobility plans, with relevant guidelines, resources and a database of cities that are already involved.

Should cities “sit and wait” for changes to come and affect them, or is there room for pro-active urban policy to grasp emerging opportunities? If so, what is in their scope for action? How to act in a sustainable/integrated way?

Contributors consider: How would these new conditions shape the national systems of cities and municipalities? Which cities would shrink and which would grow?
