This is the first in a series of three TIDE workshops that aim to demonstrate the method. Participants representing nearly 20 countries from across Europe met for an exchange of knowledge and experience on TIDE’s five thematic areas. Participants also learnt about analysing the impact of measures and about TIDE’s transfer methodology. Register to view presentations from the event.

The mission of the TIDE project is to enhance the broad transfer and take-up of 15 innovative urban transport and mobility measures throughout Europe and to make a visible contribution to establish them as mainstream measures. TIDE will focus on 15 innovative measures in five thematic clusters: financing models and pricing measures, non-motorised transport, network and traffic management to support traveller information, electric vehicles and public transport organisation. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans will be a horizontal topic to integrate the cluster activities. TIDE is a Coordination Action funded by the European Commission’s DG Research and Innovation under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development.

A range of interventions are making streets work and feel better for all, while increasing the vitality and sense of place in communities across the city. This book is a celebration of that ambition and the success of recent public realm projects across London. They show how moving around and living in the Capital can be improved significantly by careful planning, creative thought and good design, applied to different locations and settings at a range of scales.

This Policy Brochure aims at sharing important information about the critical role research plays in policy making and planning in the air transport sector. It is part of the series of Policy Brochures that TRIP issues on the major transport policy priorities set by the EU.
